I think I could do this in a 4 week cycle. Each week you would send out a group of baby coupons and 1 baby gift like baby powder, baby rattle, wash clothes, etc.

A weekly theme would be fun. Like week 1 the lake, week 2 the beach, week 3 a BBQ.

This could be set up over the summer. Like a package every 2 weeks with a different theme.

This could be done in a 4 week cycle and the gift could be something that has to do with dieting, exercising, or living healthy.

I can't wait to see what you choose!!!

THis would be set up on a 4 week cycle. I love the hobby idea.

"Themes":
Outdoors- stuff to do or have fun w/ outside. Beach/pool stuff, gardening, bird watching, camping, whatever.
Summer Vacation Survival- Those of us that have kiddos will soon need stuff to keep them busy when they get out of school for 3 months. Or another spin on it would be stuff geared towards us parents to help us survive it too!
Reading- Books, magazines, reading accessories
Picnic/BBQ- Stuff to help us get ready for the joys of cooking &/or eating outside

That's all I got for now- if I think of more I'll post back!

Great ideas. One time exchanges are coming back.

How about a "Local to ME" pal exchange?

We did this on another board. There are numerous regional items.

Example:
Up here, we have Budwiser, I can't send a bottle of Bud in the mail, but I could maybe find Bud q's.

I had never had cheese straws (nor do I wish to try them ever again).

You just send regional items to your pal.

How about this for a plan: grouping us by need: baby people vs. diabetic, pet people vs teenagers, and meat and potato(me) vs vegetarian/organic

I do like the "need" idea. I have tons of coupons to share, but really only use organic/health type, water in glass, etc.

Also can send hobby and theme items as well as books and souvenirs, baby and kid's items. I have lots of them.
Still based on need, since I have the above items, I would want different items like individually wrapped tea bags, organic seeds, practical items like Q-tips, black socks, a list of samples I can use that someone else doesn't want from freebie stuff sites.

LOL It would be more challenging to match up, though!! But it would be awesome if it could be worked out!!
