A Lovely, Lovely Person* surprised me with this fun box
When I opened this mysterious package, I found:
 |
| A CDP built around a book!! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! |
 |
| Just like the book, *squee*! |
 |
| The inside of the box Sparkly stars! I wanted to sprinkle the stars all over my room so I could fully enjoy them, but I didn't want them to get vacuumed up...so I'm still trying to think of something fun to do with them. |
I liked everything in the box when I opened it, but I LOOOOOOVED everything once I had finished the book because it all went together so PERFECTLY! I enjoyed the book (but if you generally like the same books Jonna likes, you may not like this one ;-) ) and LOVED that this Lovely Person was able to execute this wonderful idea! Thank you again, Lovely Person!! You were right: this IS an excellent escape =).

This box made me think how much fun it could be to do a book-themed CDP exchange...but then I wasn't sure how well that would work...what do you think? When you think of your favorite book, can you see any potential for a CDP built around it? It could be SO FUN or it could NOT WORK, but I don't have the brain capacity, at the moment, to figure it out, so speak up in the comments if you have an opinion!

I will be keeping Crappy Day Present senders anonymous so that the sender doesn't have to worry that Person Q is going to see what they (the sender) sent me and possibly feel bad that their (Person Q's) package was not as fabulous as mine ;-). But if you

What a super fun idea! I'm not sure it would work well for the whole exchange to be centered around a book theme (one of my favorite books is Half-Baked, but how would I give themed gifts? It's about an extremely premature baby!) But I do think it would be great to include on the post where you describe how the exchanges work as a fun idea (non-creative people like myself get easily overwhelmed coming up with gift ideas for people I don't know well - this would be a great suggestion for something special that would be fun to put together, and less overwhelming, I think!)
What a fun CDP!
I like the book theme idea is theory, but I don't think it's something I could actually pull off. I'm just not that creative.
This is an awesome idea! I think it'd be great to have a CDP exchange themed around books. We did a favourite book swap in a group I'm in and I sent someone my favourite fantasy book with a bunch of fantasy themed goodies.
What a fun CDP! I loved that book and was sad when I finished. Having a few of those CDP items around might have made it feel like I still had a little magic left.
Great CDP! I think if you know the person's taste, a book-themed package would be wonderful! If you don't know their taste in books, it could be awkward.
If you do a book CDP exchange, count me IN. That sounds so freaking fun!
