Oh Hello Friend is starting up their 2010 Lovely Package Exchange which works like this:

• You sign up and are paired with a random person with similar interests.
• You put together a package of tiny (or big) gifts that are around $20-30 total.
• You put it all together in a beautiful package and send it off to your partner.
• You receive a lovely package of your own from your partner!

I think it’s a fantastic way to do something small that’s creative and fun, meet some new friends, do something really nice for someone else AND get something in the mail to brighten your day. How often do you really get wonderful surprises by mail anymore?

The exchange is free to participate in, the only requirement is that you have a blog or a website or twitter (to cut down on people who don’t follow through).

It’s the first time I’ll be participating too, so don’t hesitate to sign up if you weren’t part of the 2009 Exchange. You can get all the details HERE and have until March 9 to sign up.

Even though lovely spaces is still pretty new… I still wanted to wish new readers and friends a very happy New Year’s.

I’m excited to share tons of lovely design spaces and concepts with you in 2010!
