Related things that FB swappers also often swap
(please check with the people whom you are planning to swap with, before sending, but these items are related to FB swapping and are also often swapped in the mail.
Mom-fbs
These are the same as traditional FBs, but are swapped between women who are mothers, and only seek contact with other women who are mothers.
E- FBs
These are fbs, but are swapped by email instead of snail mail. A lot of people dont like them, as they lack the personal touch of smail mail.
Label Bags
These are often made of an envelope or decorative paper. Swapped in a similar manner to FBs, but each person to participate adds one or more of thier address labels. The person whom the label bag is made for, will make FBs, or more label bags, for each participant who has added thier labels.
Slams
These are swapped in the same manner as FBs, but instead of filling the entire book with penpal messages, participants add thier labels to a "sign in" page, and then proceed through the book which has been designed like a questionairre or game.
Sticker Bags
Are similar to label bags but instead of adding an address label, you add stickers to the bag.
Decos
Are similar to Fbs, but require elaborate decoration of each penpal entry. Can be very heavy to swap in the mail.
Lyrix / Lyrics
Similar to decos, but each participant adds some favourite song lyrics to thier entry.
X-slips/ exchange slips
Loved by some, hated by others, these are similar to small chain letters, "send 10fbs to #1, delete thier address, add yours at the bottom of the list, copy 20 times and send to pals".
