I was planning on doing the Santa’s Sack swap again this year.
We’ve been doing sign ups late Sept and then having about 2 months of crafting time. Has that been working for everyone?
So sign ups late Sept-early Oct.
Send outs beginning of Dec.

This is such a great swap! I am tempted, although with the costs and challenges of international postage, I think I might chat with potential partners ahead of time, rather than expect anyone to mail to Australia.
I love this swap but I’m on the fence. I have a couple personal packages I want to work on and my fall is looking busy work-wise, I’m not sure I’ll have the bandwidth. I’ll have to see where I’m at when sign ups start.
This sounds really fun! Since I’m new to LC, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to swap yet but maybe by the time the sign-ups open, I’ll be able to join in.
And I definitely agree about postage and restrictions to overseas locations. It’s really expensive now, which stinks. Wish there was a better option!
It’s open. It just needs to fit your items you send. so if you are sending items that are little then your bag doesn’t need to be as big. I figure we can all use a variety of sizes in bags!
@whatthepuck - I like your solution of making an extra gift if you buy a bag instead of making one!
Last year we did have some issues where people bought bags and painted them instead of making bags from scratch even though the instructions were clear. So it does seem that people would like an option!
So yes lets make it so there are 2 options:
Option 1:
Make your partner 1 reusable gift bag (sewn, crochet, knit, etc - NOT store bought) Fill the bag with
1 medium crafted item
2 small crafted items
2 purchased stocking stuffers
or
Option 2:
BUY your partner 1 reusable gift bag (decorate it or not) Fill the bag with
