I need a Package Pal ....

[SkylarV217]

So I used to have this super cool chicka that we would send fun stuff Make up and samples and just fun stuff to each other via mail .... I love surprises and I love looking for gifts and such so it was right up my alley... We'll eventually we stopped and feel out of touch... I miss it desperatly and would like to find a new pal.... any takers

Aw, that's such a cute idea!

 

[SkylarV217]

I know it was supper fun ... who doesn't like getting surprise goodie in the mail... I miss it like CRAZY....

 

[CantAffordMAC]

it is a cute idea. i love doing nice things for ppl. can u tell more about this?....

 

[SkylarV217]

What we did ... We swapped first .... thats how we met ... then after our swap ... from looking at her swap list and stuff .... she was a super sweet swapper , I was at the store and I saw something I thought she would like so I picked it up and shipped to her .... so she looked around and sent me something with a little note... and we just went back and fourth that way ... I guess you could go that way , or once a month or something like that ... I 'm very serious about missing this and if any one would like to try PM me =) ... we would also send stuff we got in swaps.. that we didn't care for and thought the other would like . It was a real sweet and easy going kinda thing .

This is a really cute idea! so it doesnt matter that the item wasn't brand new?

 

[SkylarV217]

nope , just things we thought the other would like.... stuff i would buy and try and wouldn't be right for me i would send her and like wise on her end ...

That is a really cool idea! I kind of do something similar with one of my good friends who lives out of the country. Since we don't get to see each other too often we send "friendship" packages which are filled with things that we think the other would like. It is a lot of fun to get suprise packages of fun goodies!

I just wouldnt want to commit to something because what if one month you couldn't afford it?

... I'd hate to just give away all my used junk, that seems kind of cheap, no?

 

[SkylarV217]

it wasn't a strict kind of thing just something fun ... when you can afford you buy when you can't you get creative ;-)

I had a really fun package pal at makeup alley and I haven't heard from her in awhile. I really worry about her. Wouldn't it be weird if we were swapping with the same girl? She was so thoughtful and always kept in touch and then POOF! She's gone. I am so sad.

I really like this idea!

that would be so weird .... how long ago did she disappear? It really was such fun .... and I can't believe how much I miss it. Thats why I'm making a desperate attempt to find someone else that would enjoy it

I saw on another forum for jeans a bunch of members who were doing this but holy crap the stuff they were sending!!! Like a $100 pair of jeans with a shirt or something! It was pretty interesting to look through the thread they made and they all posted pics of what they got! It was also all secretive! One main person or two organized the whole thing and would give each member involved an address and their address would be sent to someone different! They got some really cool gifts & sometimes very simple stuff like candy or a dvd or a full years subscription to a magazine!

Sadly, I haven't heard from her since she sent me her last package. It was filled with so much stuff I couldn't believe it. I thanked her profusely and we have exchanged pm's 2x's since. Then she just disappeared. I've been trying to pm her since late April. That is about the time we lost touch.

I have a package of goodies to send her but don't want to send it if she moved or something. It was so much fun, we would send packages about once a month. Even if it was just stickers and lip balms, I loved it! She always included wonderful letters that kept me motivated and she was so sweet. I heart her! I really hope she is ok. I know that she kept in touch with other girls on MUA who I also speak with. She would send them packages too. She is so kind it is amazing!!! I think I will write her again to see if she's ok.....If you pm me I'll tell you her MUA username and we can see if it was the same person.

Wow , I don't know about that much , but thats a cool idea... everyone likes surprises. So far from this post there has been a lot of interest. I don't know if i could package for more than 1 or 2 ladies... But lots of ladies are interested ... Maybe we can get you all set up together so we can all have super fun package pals

 

[SkylarV217]

would it be against the rules to set something like that up ?

What about doing a grab bag thread? Like Swap & Shop, but free (or minimal shipping)? Basically post items you're willing to part with and takers could PM. As you add and purge items, you could edit your particular post. I don't know if a post could be continually edited, but it's an idea....And, that way, one or two people don't have to worry about organizing the exchanges.

Well thats basically just swapping isn't it

... Or the swapping I'm used to anyway only you only pay your end of the swap postage IE the package you send out . The fun part about the package pal thing is it's like your getting presents for each other ... I love to buy & get presents

I think its fun to set a lower limit and find the best stuff you can .. Ie $10.00 and find great sale items... fun stuff like that. I don't think I would want to organize different people exchanging with others ... but there are a lot of ladies interested and just setting those ladies up with another lady that would like to.
