It’s the most wonderful time of the year—the holidays are so close that we’ve begun to contemplate the gifts we’ll be giving, the feasts we’ll be making, and the Holiday Swap goodies we’ll be mailing this year. The Food52 Holiday Swap is a super generous, mostly anonymous, 100% heartwarming gift exchange that we’ve facilitated since 2011.
Cookies, preserves, kitchen gadgets, lovely linens, cookbooks, tasty souvenirs from your travels or the farmers market are all fair game to put in your Swap gift—we just ask that your treats be unique and thoughtful . If you are sending edible gifts, please also ensure that all food is handled and packaged following proper food safety guidelines and provide a detailed list of ingredients with your gift to help your Swapper avoid any potential allergens.
We are going old-school with this year’s Holiday Swap in that we’re asking Swappers to make a charitable donation before they sign up to participate, a feature of past Swaps. Our charitable partner this year is, and all you need to do to take part is donate a minimum of $5 and have your receipt ready when you sign up. This helps make the Swap that much more meaningful—and helps us know you’re for real.
Like last year, we will introduce you to your Swapper before it’s time to exchange gifts because we think it helps make Swapping easier—you can tell your partner when your gift is in the mail, and hopefully make a lasting connection. It also adds another bit of accountability to the exchange. Drop your package in the mail before or by Wednesday, December 11 and send an email to your Swapper when you do.
We hope everyone who signs up follows through with their promise to send a gift. Based upon past Holiday Swaps, most do. But if you do not receive a gift, be patient and compassionate . You will also have your Swapper’s contact information and can follow up with them. Most Swappers in the US choose to use USPS flat rate boxes, which cost between $16 and $25 and will ship to and from any location in the United States.) suggested a simple, food-centered gift exchange on our Hotline.
