About this Event
Looking to refresh your style, score unique pre-holiday gifts, and connect with great people in your community—all without spending a dime?
Welcome to The Swaptacular, Stamford's premier barter event! Whether you have gorgeous fashion pieces sitting tucked away in your closet or a skill you’d love to trade for something special, this is your chance to swap, share, and celebrate sustainable living.
Bring items you would be proud to gift a friend, or offer services that others will love:
- Gift-Quality Goods: Funktacular or high-end clothing, jewelry, stylish shoes, handbags, and chic accessories.
- Services & Skills: Offer a session of graphic design, photography, language practice, personal styling, fitness coaching, gluten-free cooking, home organizing, or whatever your unique talent is!
- Trade Free: Bring your gift-quality items or service offers and trade directly with fellow attendees.
- Pay-for-Take Option: Found something you love but didn't bring items to swap? No problem! Those who wish to purchase items without trading are welcome to negotiate/pay.
- Quality First: To keep the event rewarding for everyone, all physical items should be clean, undamaged, and in excellent condition.
To help everyone match up before and during the event, we are compiling an advance Exchange List.
Before arriving, please list:
- What you are bringing to trade (e.g. handmade jewelry, sewing skills, portrait photography sessions)
- What you are hoping to find (e.g., winter boots, ethnic jewelry, guitar lessons)
Get your items together, draft your trade list, and get ready for an evening of sustainable shopping and community connection.
Contact event organizer Lisa ([email protected]) to submit your exchange list items or ask any questions prior to November 12th.
