Let’s have some fun with a stationery swap.
We all love stationery, we all love happy mail, so let’s enjoy both this month.
If you have yet to join in with any #bringbackpaper activities, whether it be the swaps or readalongs, then this might be the perfect time for you to leap in and have some fun with us. These are all free to join in with and are open to everyone aged 18+ anywhere in the world.
The stationery swap is a chance for you to spread some happiness with happy mail as you get to enjoy putting together a parcel full of pretty papery goodies for your swap partner and then you get to unwrap their offerings as a treat for yourself.
It is a nice and simple activity to get involved with. All you need to do is pop a package of stationery bits and bobs together and send them out into the world to your swap partner so that they have received them by the end of October.
You can include whatever you like, from notepaper to jotters to stickers to pens to clips to washi to postcards – it really can be whatever suits you. We’re not talking huge amounts of stuff here, just a pretty little parcel to brighten someone’s day, spending around £5. This budget allows plenty of people to join in, and then do allow for postage costs.
I know a lot of people just raid their own stash to do this rather than going out and buying more especially for this which is absolutely fine. Get that stationery out in the world!
The swap is open to everyone worldwide, aged 18 and over. If you would like to share details, do post a photo of your stationery bundle with the #BringBackPaper hash tag or pop it in the Bring Back Paper Facebook group and we can all ooh and aah over it with you!
Get Involved in the Stationery Swap
If you’d like to join in, it’s all being run and arranged over in our Bring Back Paper Facebook group this month.
A thread started there last night and anyone that would like to get involved just needs to comment on that thread letting us know. I will then match people up and let them know who they’re swapping with.
All will be explained in the group, so pop over there if you’d like to get involved with this one.
Ooh, I do love a stationery swap! I’m hoping you will all enjoy this one, have fun with it.
Is this something you like the sound of? Would you like to receive a bundle full of surprise stationery this month?
