In a time when many people are feeling lost it is best to focus on the joy in life. Prioritize bringing love and joy to others. So I present to you my dear friends the long awaited Snack and Sock Exchange.

SCHEDULE
Sign Ups: Nov 11-17 (but feel free to post now if you see this late on nov 10th)
Partner Assignment: Nov 21-23
Shipping Deadline- Dec 12

What the heck is this, Shadra? you may be asking. Well it all started with an online post I saw. The idea is that for the upcoming holidays you purchase a pair (or several) of really cool unique socks. Find fun patterns, fun colors, etc. Then you open up the pack and fill the socks with goodies. Candy, tiny toys, artwork, etc. are all good. In our case we are going to be mailing these goodies to our fellow Cruinndrac Farms folks. <3

Awesome I'm in! Great, glad to hear it. Let's just go over a few rules first.
* Swap is open to US and International participants. If you cannot ship internationally please let me know this prior to partner assignments.
* Spending limit is $30 (USD) maximum. (We want lots of participation!)
* Please message me when you have sent your package. You MUST provide tracking numbers if given one by the post office OR a photo of your receipt. I need proof.
* Swaps MUST go out before the deadline. No exceptions. You will be blacklisted from future swaps.
* You must be 18+ to participate. (UNLESS you pm me a signed note from a parent who can give you permission to receive and send out gifts.)
* AND a very specific SOCK RULE here. Socks are stretchy. PLEASE DO NOT stretch out the socks. The idea is that folks should be able to wear them after taking out the goodies. So no big boxes of treats stuffed into the socks allowed, got it? (You can send the treat in the box just not in the socks!)


How do I sign up? As per usual I have a few forms for you to fill in to gather information. You cannot sign up if you have been late on a past swap within the last year.
Please post this form in the thread!!!

Things to avoid: (due to allergies, sensitivities, dislikes,etc)

Country you reside in: USA
Things to avoid: spicy or sour candies, scented lotions or soaps
Snacks you like: fruit candies, gummies, milk chocolates, minty things, tea of all sorts, cheesy noms
Socks you like: anything above ankle-length, bonus for slipper socks. (My current socks are actually pretty boring; mostly white or black crew socks. Surprise me and spice up my sock drawer!) I do have fairly small feet, so something suitable for approximately women's shoe size 5-7 is good.
