Spring Cleaning Stockpile Swap

The Spring Cleaning Stockpile swap goes like this...

Do you ever find a really good deal on something, stock up and 18 months later (oopsy) still have more than you could use in a gazillion years?

Do you ever think, wow! That's a great deal and I've really been wanting to try that...so you buy up 10 and find out halfway through the first bottle that you don't care for the product?

And what about those Register Reward deals? I will never use the 10 tubes of Neuragen and Arnicare I was "paid" to take out of the store...but maybe someone else will?

Then there's that new foundation, eye shadow, or moisturizer we over bought and just don't want to use now that we have a new fav...

What do we do with all these "extras"?

Let's lend each other a hand and share in our "crazy good deal overstock stockpiles" all while really trying to brighten a fellow HCWer's day!

On the sign up form please list in the notes section 15+ HL items from your stockpile you have to bless another with and please list in the notes section 15+ WL items you'd like to be blessed with. Details for your items are great like size, color, fragrance, etc as well as those things YOU SIMPLY CAN'T USE.

Think outside the box (or closet, ahem) and look in your pantry, cabinets, extra shelving, office space, and of course the bathrooms, etc. All items you send will need to be new/sealed/non-expired, etc.

Some ideas are baggies, cold/cough/HA medications, stationary (envelopes, paper), pens, other office supplies, first aid items, toiletries, HBA items, powdered drink mixes, cosmetics, gift wrap supplies, scrapbooking items, school supplies, baby items (ointments, washes, wipes, etc), cleaning supplies, candles, birthday supplies, paper products (paper plates, napkins, etc)-ok, you get the idea, the sky's the limit.


Of course...it isn't a really fun SWAP without a twist (or two)... so without further ado here are your twists:

1) I am thinking of a SPECIAL specific spring cleaning stockpile item-if your HL list contains this item, you will receive a potluck coupon envie from me with a coupon for a free item! (if no one picks the item, then everyone who participates names will go into a random drawing and ONE person WILL still win If more than one person lists the item, all persons who listed the item will go into a drawing and the name chosen randomly will WIN!

2) Twist number 2, my son (DS #4) will be TWO years old on Easter day (April 24th)-I Easter AND I Birthdays and well, not so much 2 year olds , but in this case, he has my so what a good reason for a 2nd twist- and unless he lives until he is 86 years old , this will be the only time that Easter will fall on his birthday...anyway, I digress. Everyone who participates and follows all the rules and regulations of this swap will be entered in a drawing to receive a special package of Easter and Birthday goodies from me in honor of my son. This will also be by random drawing. By following "all the rules" I mean, signing up by deadline, sending in WL/HL list by deadline, package following guidelines, DC number being sent to mod, posting day of when package sent (and sending by the deadline), posting when you receive your package and that's about it-really just making my job as the swap host a little easier and the job of our awesome swap mods easier.
