How does it work?
Our Halloween Swap is just a like a "Secret Santa" swap--we will pair each participant with someone to send a
box of goodies to, and each person will receive a box of goodies themselves.

Check out the over a decade of MLPTP Halloween swaps here:

2021 ~ 2020 ~ 2019 ~ 2018 ~ 2017 ~ 2016 ~ 2015 ~ 2014 ~ 2013 ~ 2012 ~ 2011 ~ 2010 ~ 2009 ~ 2007

Everyone will send/get one or several ponies from their wishlist, along with Halloween goodies.
The package must also be wrapped with Halloween decorations, etc. It's all about spooky fun, fun, fun

Rules

  • There are 2 spending categories for this swap,
    Option #1: $50-$60 (including pony/ponies and extras),
    Option #2: $90-$100 (including pony/ponies and extras).
    These amounts do not include shipping costs.
  • You must include at least 1 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 it doesn't count against 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.

Global Accommodations * Please read *

Given the circumstances of the last couple years, we have decided to start the sign ups for earlier than usual. We want to give members time to shop and deliveries time to get to their destinations.

Therefore, I want to stress the importance of the deadlines listed below and importance of communication.


Everyone who signs up and sends a package should be able to also receive a package in a timely manner. If you happen to be shipping abroad you will have sufficient time for shipping. If you are not confident you can have your package shipped by the deadline, please think twice. There will be other fun festivities to participate in. We understand things arise and some things can't be controlled, that's okay but we also want everyone who participates to enjoy the swap and be assured to have their gifts before the halloween.

If for any reason you run into issues you must communicate with the swap host so we can work it out. Failure to ship by the required deadline or communicate issues in a timely manner may result in a negative feedback. We want to make sure the swap is fair and fun for all who participate.

Yay! I missed last year for the same reason @stjarne but I have been waiting patiently for this year's to come around! All signed up!!
 
I’m not able to join this year either @stjarne (pff funds) we can watch all the bountiful boxes together!
 
Awww I cant join sadly, I dont have that much money right now but hopefully I can save for a christmas/holiday swap!! :satisfied:

Question, @Skybreeze, I also am not totally sure if I would qualify?:unsure: I thought I would have enough feedback but I dont have feedback as a seller. It says " Refs must be from trades or people youve sold to" so does this mean feedback as a buyer doesnt count? Also, would a trade such as the recipe exchange count? Im not sure it would since there wasnt a large monetary value. Just wanna make sure I know before christmas rolls around! :purpleheart:
 
ahh i won't be able to participate in this one sadly :( (darn moving getting in the way) will enjoy seeing all the fun packages though! looking forward to seeing what other halloween events are in store
Moving is such a big expense but maybe come the holidays you will be able to partake then. We also have lots of other fun things planned over the Thanksgiving and Halloween festivities the next couple of months. ;)

We totally understand a lot of us who are planning for PFF may not be able to participate in the swap this year. Don’t worry! We will have other things planned for those on smaller budgets and free to join activities as well. ;)

I've gotta bump up my participation if I wanna participate in these things! They look like so much fun. Here's to a successful swap!
Thanks! We hope to see you around more and that you can join in swaps soon!!

Feedback as a buyer doesn’t count for our swaps because it doesn’t show us that you have a history of shipping and packaging things in a safe and timely manner. The feedback for things like the recipe and card exchanges definitely go towards your feedback for a swap. ;) If you have any other questions relating to a swap please feel free to message myself or any of the other mods and we’d be happy to answer any queries you may have. ;)

@BethMcBeth, @OctoberMoon & @Sassarazzmadazzles you’ve all been added to the roster! Please be sure to add your wishlists asap so your partners can curate a great box for you. :ghost:

DONE
 
Hi all! <3

I wanted to post to thank you all for understanding why we have certain requirements for swaps like this.

These requirements are in place for a reason. Especially with swaps that have this high of a budget tier, we need to ensure to the best of our ability that all participants are reliable and accountable. If something goes wrong in a swap, the resolution comes from our very limited donation-dependent budget to correct the mistake of another person.

We strive for every swap to run smoothly and for all participants to have a fun and safe experience. <3

That said, we do host swaps year-round, for all kinds of different holidays and other occasions. So, there is plenty of time to meet the requirements for the next swap. Requirements will be different for different swaps, so be sure to check in here at the TP, or follow our Facebook or Instagram to be sure you don't miss a swap that you might already meet the requirements for. ;)

Happy swapping! :winkpony:
 
Omg pleaseeeeeeeeee.
I love Spooky Season so much.

I think I don't qualify though...I only returned the forums in July. Does that count?

Hey @MustBeJewel / @Skybreeze ... can we pre-pay coverage to participate if we don't qualify? So, I understand what Jewel was saying about having to cover the swap from donations, but if I were to send money to a donation pool as 'insurance', would I be able to participate?
If no, that is cool. Rules exist for a reason. I just thought maybe I could mitigate the risk.

Considering everything you've done to help us enormously with our huge upcoming event, as well as everything you have brought to the community here since your return, @Skybreeze and I agree we would be extremely remiss not to make an exception here. ;) <3

OH! Thank you for clarification! <3 I hadnt considered it was to ensure a timely trade, I was only thinking of it as ensuring trustworthiness in general for monetary events. I see! That makes a lot of sense haha i feel a little silly i didnt think of that! :lolpony:
Excited to save up for christmas then! ;)
