Description:

So I started collecting and trading stickers when I was about 7 years old. Amazingly I still have some of those very stickers (most of mine date at least 15 years old..hehe) I thought it was one of the best hobbies and would work to earn quarters to go buy some at the local stationary store.

I now have a 10 and 7 year old. They love to look at my stickers and have gotten a little collection of their own. However, sad to say, it seems that it's hard for them to find people to trade with! They trade with me but it's just not as fun as trading with people outside the family. Maybe it's just my area. Anyways, they have seen me do a sticker trade with people on here and got so excited over the stickers that came in. So I thought it'd be a fun idea to start a swap in honor of the kids! You don't have to have children to do this but it'd be great if you did have kids who wanted to!

Each person will have 2 people to swap with. To each person send out 30 stickers. Any stickers that are new are fine. Let your kids choose which stickers they send. However, please encourage your children to send stickers that they think the other person would enjoy, not just the small ones. They can be in sheet form, cut into flakes, etc. Doesn't matter. If your child needs help cutting the stickers so they don't get ruined please help them cut them. It is senders choice on what stickers to send!

When you receive the stickers please rate the person a 5 regardless of what stickers they send, as long as they sent the 30. Be happy and excited with your child instead of judging what was sent as this is to help this hobby stay alive. Plus it's fun for them to receive their own little bit of mail :)

If you wish you may post your children(s) names on the bottom so that the envelope can even be sent right to them.

This swap will be opened to everyone! Please, please no flakers! I will have absolutely NO MERCY on anyone that flakes on an excited child!

This is the 4th one I've held. My kids have had so much fun with these! Thanks to everyone who has done the others :)

I suggest sending a PM when partners are assigned with the childs name:)

Just a suggestions you never know who is on here!!

I've got no (human) kids but have done this swap before and loved it! I'd definitely prefer sending mine directly to the children themselves. There's just nothing quite like seeing a letter addressed to YOU when you're a child, is there?

my kids love it! They are like look!!! My name mom!! I dont mind putting first names on here. It's not like a first name is going to give all your info.

My daughters names are Maddy and Alyssa. Just use my last name and address you get when partners are assigned :)

I'm glad you like doing it paper-I think they're great fun! I do sticker swaps for me and the kids get just as excited to see what I get for mine as they do for theirs :)

hi i don't have kids but i would love to send to somebody's children ^^ I think this is a great idea

rattissia 10/26/2011 #

Thanks :) My kids always know these swaps are just theirs! My 2 girls alternate days of getting the mail and they take turns with the stickers in the envelopes-the one who got the mail gets first dibs!

I'm glad so many people have enjoyed doing these swaps with us :)

My kids are a bit older 11 and 13 but they LOVE stickers and mail addressed straight to them even more so!!! I am just like you were,...I was always asking my parents for a ride to the local Hallmark to buy the Mrs. Grossmans and Sandylion sticker mods from those big rolls they used to have!! Just to note,..we dont mind sending to children or adults so if I get a partner with no children, maybe they can enjoy that my kids put together a swap for them!! ;)

I can appreciate also that you encourage your children to be happy with what they get and not sore with what they didnt! Good moral value and simple fun way of learning it. My son was recently flaked on in the only swap he ever participated in so I was always hesitant to join a swap for kids again- however your swap description re-enlightened me to take another chance with it!!

rattissia 10/26/2011 #

aww what swap was he flaked on? If I can I'll angel :) Luckily I've not had any flakers with my children stickers ones yet. -to those reading that does not mean I want you to flake-I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE! to the point that you'll want to shut down your swap bot page and get a new email. Just a heads up-I dont take flaking on children lightly!-

Lol

oh my gosh he was flaked on a Magic the Gathering trading card swap. Trust me, I wouldnt expect you, or anyone else, to angel that. It is such an uncommon type swap. It was kinda messed up that the swap didnt go through for him. I finally just took him to the local Target store and let him pick out a brand new package of cards. He is really into the trading card scene, Pokemon, Yugi-o, Etc.

Just a note, It was awfuly painful to see his little face after checking the mailbox every single day, week after week. I agree with you, unless you pass away, Flaking on a childrens swap is big, huge NO-NO.

Who would like Christmas stickers?

rattissia 11/ 3/2011 #

the partners get assigned randomly through swap bot. I dont mind holiday ones personally (as I said in the email :) but I'd take a peak at the profile of the person you get assigned. Most people here should be happy to get whatever as they know the selection comes from the heart of a child :)

My sons name is Lucian, and he loves getting mail addressed to him.
