2024 Homemade Advent Calendar Swap
It’s that time again! I’ve enjoyed hosting the advent swap the last few years, so I figured I’d get it started again.
Anyone who wants to participate, please list your tea preferences and whether you’re comfortable shipping abroad in the comments. On October 31st, I’ll assign partners and we can get rolling!
Each person will send their recipient 25 opaque, labeled packets of tea. (Each day should contain enough for at least 1-2 cups of tea) Feel free to get as creative as you like with the packaging! I’d suggest shipping no later than November 18th to make sure it arrives in time, though earlier is better, especially if you’re shipping outside the US.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Partners have been assigned for this year!
I’ll start:
I enjoy flavored tea – primarily herbals and black tea, though I’ll drink the occasional green tea. Also preferably loose leaf.
Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, melon, lavender, almond, strawberry, nutty, anything rooibos-related.
Don’t prefer: smoky, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender or chamomile), plain tea. Also nothing with gelatin.
I would prefer to ship within the US this year.
Ooh, thank you for kicking this off again!
Preferences in a nutshell:
- I like just about everything except for stevia, (strong) hibiscus, and (strong) bergamot. (More details are in my profile, but I love trying new things.)
- I prefer loose-leaf to bagged but I’m happy to receive whatever!
— I’m vegan, so I don’t drink teas with honey, gelatin, dairy, etc.
I could probably ship internationally if needed!
Thanks for organizing, AJRimmer! I’d love to participate again. :)
Likes: straight black tea (especially Chinese) and flavored blends…particularly dessert-type blends and anything with banana, caramel, or coconut. I prefer loose leaf rather than bagged tea.
Dislikes: stevia, hibiscus, chamomile, and most rooibos.
I’m located in Wisconsin and would prefer to ship within the USA.
Hey, I don’t have enough tea right now to participate, but if anyone would like to send me some bits of tea to try that they need to get rid of or have too much of, etc., I’d pay you.
I unfortunately don’t have the time/energy to do a homemade advent properly, but I’d be up for a TTB!
Lexie, I plan to make a list of teas I would like to share for shipping only; but still haven’t made it :)
No promises when I will make it, but definitely now I see a “reason”.
As of homemade advents… I just don’t have time to take part; nor for TTB
Can I be one to send to Lexie? I was just thinking I want to make an advent calendar but I can’t really receive one right now. I mean I can but I have some allergies that were ignored last year and… I’m picky ^^;;;;;
Cool beans. Lexie when you see this could you follow me and then send me a message? Danke!
I love doing this every year! I’d also like to be a part of a new traveling tea box.
My likes = dessert, black teas, floral teas, honey teas, jasmine, rooibos, honeybush, vanilla, blueberry, orange, cinnamon
I dislike anise, licorice, mango, peach, stevia
I’m in NC, USA and would prefer to ship in USA
My calendar from Devon arrived today! She mailed it in the cutest pouch. :) Going to be hard to wait 2 weeks before I can dive in…
My Calendar from Maribeth came last night! I’ll be away probably 12 days in December I think I’m gonna take my tea with me on my cruise :) I look forward to this every year!
Lexington has not contacted me yet. I’ve sent her a few messages. I have the Advent calendar ready to go. Should I just switch people? Anyone else not have a partner?
