The November Care Package Project is now closed to new entries. Questions about your swap? Drop a line to swaps [at] ohcomely.co.uk.

What do you usually receive in the post? Bills? Advantage card updates? The odd postcard from your grandmother in Spain?

Well, we’ve got something up our sleeves to put to right this woeful lack of Good Post. Our November care package project will ensure that everyone has the chance to give and receive something inspiring and unique in the post.

We'll pair you up with a stranger, and you'll prepare a package of surprises for each other. Each box should be a warming collection of gifts and ideas to brighten the grey days.

Here's what to put inside:

Something personal. Eg: a favourite family recipe, a good book you’ve just finished, a playlist of your favourite music.

An inspiring snippet. Eg: newspaper clipping, a photo or illustration you love, the lyrics to a song that strike home.

A wintry treat. Eg: a pair of gloves, your favourite tea, a mini hot-water bottle. The spending guide for each box is £10.

Be creative – if you include a letter you might even start a pen-friendship! Inject it with colours, scents, flavours; make something that you would be pleased to receive. Think outside the - dare we say it - box, and most importantly have fun.

How it works:

1. Put your name and address in this form by Sunday 27th.

2. We will email you with the details of your swap partner, and this is your cue to prepare the box! You'll have two weeks to do this.

3. Post your box off by Monday 18th November.

4. Take a picture of the box you receive and share it with us on Twitter (#OCswapbox) or Facebook.

The Ts and Cs:

1. We will share your email address and postal address with your swap partner, and them alone.

2. If you are under 18, you must have the consent of a parent to take part.

3. If your box doesn’t arrive, feel free to drop your partner an email. Ultimately though, this is about the joyful risk of giving without the guarantee of return.

4. You accept sole responsibility for your swap, and liability for anything that may occur directly or indirectly as a result of sharing the information in (1) with your swap partner.

5. Get a 'certificate of posting' from the Post Office if you're worried about the box you send not arriving.

6. If you share pics of your box with us on Twitter and Facebook (and please do! it's #OCswapbox), we might use them with credit in an online gallery or the print magazine.
