I have never done this and am not real sure on just what to do but I would like to give it a try. Don`t have much in the way of extras and worry about offending my recipient by sending something lame,lol. But I'll give it a try because who doesn't like getting a present!!

No time like the present to take part! Dont worry about offending anyone...think of this as a way to get to know more of the people on here that you may not ever have spoken to before.

Best advice is once you have your trader's name check out some of their posts. Do they post a lot of movie stuff..or mention that they love hula girls..or have said somewhere what their favorite drink is?

Make it personal...
send recipe cards or drink coasters
items that are Canadian specific-like funky candies that are only available in your area or travel trinkets like postcards
tiki art you made yourself
halloween stuff--since it will be received in October

really the skies the limit. Look at some of the other posts for ideas and remember it is really about the mug you trade...so dont freak out over the extras do as little or as much as you want. :)
