ABOUT A PONY
How does it work? Everyone will send/get *one* pony from their wishlist, and the swap package extras/contents will revolve around a pony. Example: If you get someone Posey, you will get wrapping paper with flowers or in Posey's colors, a card with the theme, and maybe some flowers or candy or something reminiscing of Posey. The goal is to make the whole package about the pony. This will also address fears of other members who have mentioned they are nervous of joining a swap because they fear they won't be able to go out of their way and overspend. This is not about overspending, it should be very simple and run smoothly!
There will be 2 categories: G1 and G3 (since prices seem to be really different). You can enter both (send and receive one G1 and one G3 package), or just one. If there is enough interest, I will add another category for more HTF ponies (details at the end).

Rules:
- There is spending range in this swap. For G1 category, it is $6-$10. For G3 category, it is $3-$5. The pony must be within that price range, so everyone spends the same amount of money.
- You must add some extras that relate to the pony in question. It can be in the form of art, a homemade thing, some sort of extra that relates to the pony's symbol or colors, etc. Be creative! The extras spending limit is $6.00, and should be no less than $2.
- You must include a pony in the package.
- All items must be wrapped. Think about it... how FUN is it to unwrap gifts?
- Delivery confirmation or receipt of sending is required! This way if something is lost, we're not mad at you, but it will be the post office's fault. For international shipping, as long as you keep proof of postage, you are OK.
- When shopping for the pony, keep in mind that it should be in as near MINT condition as possible! Send a package that you would be thrilled to receive yourself.
