What things would you like to have
Instead of what we have to swap, how about putting up the list of what you are looking for. That way someone might see it and think "oh yeah, I have one of those I'd like to swap". If the swap is not your thing, there is always direct buying from a villager too. This way, when we are decluttering we will have an idea of who could use our "junk".
As for me, I'm open to lots of swap ideas: Here are just a few - ladies clothes size 8p or 10p, handmade/craft items, stuff with roosters on it or figurines of roosters, books (fiction and non), exercise videos for beginners, and stocking stuffer items for adults and kids, bath and beauty items, home decor items, plus whatever else you can think of.
Now what items would you like to have more of?

Mostly baby things right now. I am looking for a medela breast pump (we've had terrible luck with other brands and rental). Although we will probably have to buy. But the accessories would be great too. handmade baby things, like afghans, blankets, diapers, little outfits, just about anything. The biggest on our wish list is the Medela breast pump.
LOL, we will NOT rent a breast pump again after the horrible experience we had renting from our hospital. THis time we will plan on finding or buying one BEFORE baby comes, lol. It was (and is still) a horrible experience that just hasn't ended with the hospital.~~ Missy ~~
