November Swap Sheet

Posted by Melissa on Nov 2, 2010 in Blog, Swap Sheet | 1 comment

There’s nothing like heading into the holiday shopping season (and the stressful feeling of affording all. those. gifts.) to get us super psyched up for swapping. Check out our favorites for November, including our own Downtown Crossing Men’s & Women’s Clothing Swap on November 18th and the Start-Up Shwag Swap on November 11th, which we’re co-hosting with Greenhorn Connect as a kick-off to Global Entrepreneurship Week here in Boston. Hope to see you there!
