Mr. Bento fun swap: 2006

kusine  Pro User  says:

For those of you who have joined the Cult of the Fifty-Dollar Lunchbox, would you be interested in a Mr. Bento-themed swap? I'm thinking fun accessories, treats, whatever you can find to make lunch a more fun experience.

I think that a $10 limit would be more than enough, and I could set up a little form you could fill out to share some preferences. I'd be happy to coordinate.

I think it would be fun. What do you think?

I could crochet something cool for Mr. Bento. A bento cozy?

Would we mail it to each other or... how would that work?

It would be done through the mail. If you're hesitant giving it out your home address, I'd suggest your work one.

(Here's what it says on the intro page. You'd get your partner by March 31.)

The Mr. Bento Fun Swap is a fun way to meet other fans of Mr. Bento and get some fun stuff to make your lunch even better.

The rules:

* You can spend no more than $10 on items for your swap partner
* Please don't send anything that's inappropriate, sexual or offensive
* Your items must be mailed by April 15
* Feel free to get to know your swap partner by emailing, but you don't have to!
* You MUST thank your swap partner when you receive your swap package
* Sign up by March 26
* Have fun!

I dont' use swapbot... i know lots of folks perfer the automization.

However, I'm willing to run the thing (seeing an excel sheet in her near future) if there's enough interest and continued integrity in this group...

any more thoughts?

@kusine: I see you have this form on your site... can we use the same form?

can you have the info sent to me? to you? or do you want to wipe your hands?

How'd it go last time?

Look at my photos  Pro User  says:

I'd love to participate, but since the shipping rate when sending something to me would be much higher, I don't think that would be fair. However I do hope you have a good swap. :-)

It may be a bit higher to swap overseas, but there is potential for some interesting goodies. For instance, California goodies for the bento (our local roasted almonds and what not) for goodies from Holland could be worth it. I wouldn't rule it out -- s'all I'm saying.

Also, if enough people from outside the USA want to participate it might be more economical if they were paired up with each other. Shipping within Europe would be cheaper than shipping to/from Europe & The USA.

still no answer from kuisine?

in swaps I've done before a simple "willing to ship outside the US?" should suffice for proper match ups!

Sorry, amanky, I was out of town and not near a computer. I know everyone expects instant replies these days, but we've all still got obligations away from the computer! =)

It went just fine last time. We had about 10 people and we didn't have anyone flake out. I've deleted the form, so I'm afraid you won't be able to use it. I really do suggest Swap Bot.

Have fun!
