The holiday season with its many rich traditions, family celebrations and the spirit of gift-giving is upon us. It is so easy to spend more than you anticipate or can afford during the holidays. For those of you who are carefully watching your holiday budgets and at the same time are keen on making Christmas a little greener, swapping offers a great alternative to spending. As part Swapsity's Green Gifting event, try trading your talents, time or things for gifts you need for your loved ones. Just offer an item or a skill in return for a holiday present of an equal value. Swap your web design skills for set of new video games or offer a unique collectible you are willing to part with in exchange for a different treasure that will make a great gift for your family member or a friend. If the item or skill you are offering is a great candidate for another swapper's Christmas list, you can tag your listing as a great gift idea. You will see a little red gift box appear next to your listing.

We invite you to choose from a variety of gifts posted by our swappers such as collectibles, video games, electronics, books and a wide selection of brand new or still-in-the-box items. Our skill selection can also offer very creative Christmas presents such as custom designed jewellery, personalized gift baskets, lessons or other useful skills and services. We hope you will find things that will make thoughtful gifts for your family and friends. Wishing you a happy, environmentally friendly and enjoyable holiday season.

Happy Christmas Swapping!
