🌈 What to Include in Your Package?
This exchange is all about bold love, authenticity, and color! Here are some ways to let your Pride & PLURR shine through:

💛 Kandi Singles
Make 3–5 bracelets that radiate pride and power! Some phrase inspo: “Love is Love,” “Proud Ally,” “You Are Valid,” “Trans Joy,” “PLURR Always,” or “Born to Shine.” Think vibrant rainbows, flag colors, and heartfelt affirmations.

💙 Perlers, Cuffs & Charms
Create pieces inspired by Pride flags, hearts, stars, glitter, or empowering symbols. Think gender euphoria, chosen family, and unapologetic joy in every bead and stitch.

💚 Stickers & Extras
Add fun, colorful surprises like mini flags, pronoun pins, allyship patches, heart-shaped sunnies, sparkle tattoos, or your fave queer artist recs! 🎧💿

🧡 Affirmation Note or Letter
Write a letter that uplifts your match — let them know they’re loved, supported, and perfect as they are. Whether they’re out, questioning, healing, or celebrating, your words matter more than you know. 🌟

💜 Other Goodies
Toss in things that express YOU — crystals, glitter, rainbow candles, small art prints, festival flair, or something unique to your own identity and journey.

🫂 Why Join?
This Pride & PLURR exchange is about so much more than the package — it’s about:

✨ Showing up for each other and celebrating chosen family
✨ Uplifting every identity in our vibrant, evolving community
✨ Spreading joy, hope, and healing through the mail
✨ Making someone feel so seen and so celebrated

💖 Giving Back with Pride
In honor of Pride Month — and in response to the devastating closure of the LGBTQ+ support hotline — a portion of all entry fees from this exchange will be donated to an LGBTQ+ nonprofit supporting mental health and community care. This is about more than kandi. It’s about care, visibility, and showing up in ways that truly matter.

If you know of a nonprofit that could use our support or a small business that would love to join the Pride Giveaway, please email me! Let’s make June full of joy, healing, and rainbow-filled connection. 💌✨

🌟 Let’s Make June Radiate Love
This month, we’re turning mailboxes into mirrors — reflecting love back at every participant who dares to show up as their full, authentic self. 🌈💌 Join the Pride & PLURR KandiXchange and let your heart speak through every bead, letter, and act of kindness.

Note: Packages may vary in size or value, and that’s totally okay! The true gift is the love, creativity, and intention you share. 💖 Be kind, be bold, and bead with pride. 🌈✨
