Last year my pal Juanita and I hosted an international swop for bloggers (more about it HERE, HERE and HERE). A total of 9 bloggers participated. I made a video everyday as I opened the presents from my swop partner, then uploaded each unveiling video daily onto my facebook page.
We enjoyed it so much that we are doing it again this year! We hope more bloggers would join us!
What’s this?
– Are you a blogger?
– Do you get excited opening (non-$$$) mail?
– Would you like to celebrate Christmas with a (friendly) stranger through an international gift exchange?
Open to all international friends with a blog.

- Make a new friend!
- Swop packages shall contain 12 individually wrapped items free from culturally offensive, dangerous or illegal material.

- Open 1 item a day.
- Share the fun!
