Swap A Letter, Swap A Parcel, Find A Friend: The Perfect Strangers Project

words Liz Ann Bennett

19th October 2014

Does anyone remember last year's November Care Package swap? It was a present-swapping bonanza of epic proportions. Oh Comely readers and friends from Poland to Peru were paired up at random. We prepared packages of wintry surprises. We popped them in the mail. And the results were adorable.

Well, the swap is back. And this year it's a little different. It has a home of its own and some special activities for parcel-packing.

How it works

1. Pop your details down for The Perfect Strangers Project, links below.

2. On 10th November, you'll receive your swap partner's details. This is your cue to prepare your box!

3. Post off your box by 24th November, and cross your fingers for receiving your own.

4. Share photos of your box with us on Twitter or Instagram with #perfectstrangers.
