What to Send
I am involved in a lot of swaps on various communities, most of them involving snack food. Occasionally, I’ll get a friend or family member asking what they can send me/bring me as well, so I’ve been working on a list of US snacks/products I’d like. Obviously, some of these items are EXTREMELY heavy or expensive, so I don’t really expect them to be sent. If you send me a package, feel free to request something British in return. I love doing swaps, however please ask first as I don’t like to have too many going at once! This list looks long, but that’s only because I was trying to put a variety of things on it…when I get any of these items in the post, I look at it as a treat, and I tend to make it last for as long as I can! Most of the items below can be purchased in the US or Canada, and then I have a shorter list below of some Austrian and/or German treats we loved while we were on holiday there in September 2010.

[...] What to Send [...]
I’m looking through this list and half the things I’m like, oh man you can’t get that either??
Anytime you need a surrogate shopper I’m happy to help. Give me a shopping list and I’ll shop on your behalf.
some of the things we DO have substitutes for, but you know, it’s not the same thing. I look at stuff from the US as treats, so when I DO get things, I use them sparingly. I’ll let you know. Right now, I really want some crystal light raspberry iced tea, but Mom said she couldn’t find it anywhere!
If you happen upon it, could you pick some up for me? I was looking for the packs that make a pitcher, but I guess by the single bottle would be alright. Better than nothing, right?
