Welcome, one and all! It's time for a little fun in the Fairy Garden to celebrate the arrival of this Spring Fairy's favorite season.
(I bet you never would have guessed it's spring. ahem )
One of my favorite things is always the player-run gift swaps, and we thought it'd be great to infuse some caring and sharing into Spring with a little gift swap of our own.
For those of you who are browsing from Subeta at large, I'm Spring and I run the group Daisy Fairies (started by myself and who is currently in hiatus) with my longtime subeta buddy . This gift swap event is sponsored by the group admins as a part of the Fairy Garden group's spring events. You do not have to be a member of the group to participate! New members are welcome to join (Click the Daisies ping to visit the group page.)
Feel free to tag friends you think would like to join the spring gift swap. 🌺
P.S. SORRY for that random ping to a closed group. I was formatting this in my mod group and accidentally hit publish. Oops.
Here's how it'll work
Favorite Color: Favorite Hobby: Favorite Season:
We'll be using a Secret Santa-style tool to assign each participant a name for someone they'll be shopping for over the next four weeks. We will send out names via gift box around Monday, the 15th.
Create a gift wishlist called "Fairy Garden Gift Swap" or something like that so your partner will have some ideas when shopping. You must have a gift list to participate and your partner needs to be able to see it. Please keep items on your wishlist between 250k-5 mil, with a variety of price points to allow for all shopping budgets.
You must send your giftee four boxes total, one each of the four weeks. You will send these gifts anonymously via the gift center here on subeta.
You must send gifts that show thought and care for the person you are sending to, but you do not need to only buy things from their Spring Gift Swap wishlist. Please plan to spend at least 1 mil per week minimum. But you may spend as much as you are comfortable with! The max you spend is totally up to you! <3
You may not sign up and flake. We understand that life is crazy and unexpected things happen. Believe me, I know I've had so many crazy, unexpected things jump up at me this year alone! But if you find you are no longer able to participate, please reach out to or me immediately and we will make other arrangements. If you disappear without warning and don't follow through on your commitment, it may prohibit you from joining future gift swaps.
You MUST post a thank you in the group. Please be genuine and let your anony gifter know that you got your gift and if you like it. <3
Each week, we'll draw a random name from the participants to receive a little extra gift love from the Fairy Admins! And everyone who participates will get a sticker from Esther's shop, your choice, stuck to you or sent to you.
You all are AMAZING and I love you all, so I don't think that we'll have any issues whatsoever, but just for the sake of peace and prosperity amongst us all:
REMEMBER: The goal is to have fun, spread some spring love and joy, and hopefully have a new friend or two at the end of this.
Don't sign up thinking about how much you can get without intending to put as much effort into who you are gifting as you wish would be put into your gifts. Please join with the intent of making someone else's day and anything you get in return is a little bit of fairy sparkle on top of it all.
Please be kind. Not everyone has the reservoirs of resources as the next, and if the gift is thoughtful and shows effort, please show gratitude! Not every gift may hit the mark every time, but leaving a comment that may tell a little about your thoughts about the theme each week, and having a good gift list that has a variety of items and price points for inspiration will help.
IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES with your gifter or with the swap, please message me privately instead of posting here in the group. I know that sometimes things don't go well and I don't expect you to just suck it up and have a bad experience. Reaching out to or myself privately will let us hopefully resolve or talk through anything that's going on without creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone else.

Send a gift that is all about RAIN. This can be anything from rainy/tempest items to rain-themed clothes to something you like to do on a rainy day. There are so many rainy-themed things here on Subeta and I cannot wait to see how you guys creatively meet this week's theme challenge.
This gift should be sent anonymously in the gift center no later than April 30.

I've never signed up for any sort of gift giving event outside secret Santa. Since I'm actually quite active on Subeta right now, I would love to join this gift swap. Here are my things:
Favorite Color: teal/turquoise Favorite Hobby: art, journal, scrapbook fusion (see my social medias if you're curious!) Favorite Season: SPRING, SPRING, THANK GOD IT IS SPRING
I'm off to make a wishlist. Should I join the ping group during the duration of this giveaway, or will you continue to ping us chatterboxers as well? :) Thank you so much for organizing this fun.
Glad you are joining in! SlashSlashX does such a great job with the lumi event that I can only hope that this will be as good! <3
I am thinking I may just ping participants directly as needed just to not bug those in each group who aren't participating this time. :)
Actually I've mixed feelings LOL I wanna join bc I'm always in for gift swaps, like Secret Santa during Luminaire! I'll try to join as many as possible xD I dont at the same time because I can't look up some items fitting the themes, but I want them to be all from my WL, things I need lol
That makes sense. I would say the themes are sort of free for loose interpretation. I think anything floral or that reminds you of spring works!
Gonna be hard as I got almost everything I wanted from spring XD I'll try xD
[edit] Im ready! Favorite Color: Blue Favorite Hobby: Playing piano Favorite Season: Autumn
