i'm so addicted to Swap-bot i think i need help!
I love Swap-bot! I'm totally addicted to it and visit the site everyday... multiple times a day. I always am at my maximum number of swaps and have many more on my watchlist (you can watch swaps and add them after you've sent some of your other swaps).
It's a great site when you can swap everything thing and anything... from postcards to stickers to craft supplies to handmade crafts to books to candy. My favorite swaps are the themed craft swaps (like, make a postcard based on a book), postcard swaps (i love seeing the rest of the world), and tea swaps (how many different kinds of tea do you think there are in the world?).
The swaps have requirements and guidelines on what to send and who can join (if it's regional), then it randomly gives you a partner to send to and receive from. it lets you keep a good profile (so you can tell people who you are, what you like/don't like) and has a rating system to try to keep people honest (you rate the person you receive a swap from).
Another great feature are the groups. You can join groups based on your interests, like sewing, knitting, kawaii, paper crafts, etc. then within the group there are discussions/forums and swaps (only for people in the group). I like doing group swaps, because you start getting to know people within the group and learn to trust them more, so you can do higher value or time consuming swaps and not worry about getting "flaked" on (when somebody doesn't send you a swap).
I highly recommend Swap-bot for anybody that looks to get mail... people that love to give gifts... and people like me that love a little bit of inspiration to get them crafting. I hope you'll join the Swap-bot community! We'd love to see you there!
