    About the GS?

    It was more about people wanting a certain item they had heard about, wanted to try or was unavailable in the area that they lived in/moved to.

    Hints?

    Kitchen magnets, post cards, little figurines? I go to the dollar tables and find stuff that is marked down. The other day I found a really neat slogan/print T-shirt at Kmart for a few dollars...

    I picked up making paracord bracelets and have made some pretty nifty dog and cat collars and people seem to really like them - handmade items are fun to get too.

    Don't feel like you need to spend HUGE amounts of money on a package - that was the fun of putting together a box of stuff!

    ---------------

    I think that they way we did it last time was that people asked for an item(s) and people were able to fill that request - it was entirely up to the sender to add what they wanted add to the box/package over what the person wanted!!!

    ---------

    If enough people want to get this going, we can figure out what is what!

    Thanks again and remember that it's not about the dollar amount you send, it's the thought?

    I'm in. Anyone want some real Canadian Maple Syrup?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    So, I offer / suggest things which are 'typically' RI?

    Del's Lemonade, Eclipse Coffee syrup, Autocrat coffee syrup, Catanzaro's white wine biscuits (there are more)

    And then someone selects what they want? Cool! I could do this!

    Yes, you can put together a box or ask if someone can fill a request you may have?

    There are no real rules, aside from keeping it as a low cost, fun project!

    This sounds really bad but the Kentucky Derby is in a few months....No, not that Derby is coming, but the fact that I buy KD knicknacks AFTER the race because they go on sale! So, If you would like horse racing and don't mind waiting?

    But lots of things come to mind for when we get home! Bergers cookies, old bay seasoning, anything crab related, Snyder's pretzels...

    Gosh, I am lucky, as I have a local fabulous market where I can get lots of stuff from all over the world! Like Slick, I could offer maple sugar or maple syrup, I'll have to ponder what else is unique to here, as lobsters do not mail well ... certainly plenty of Boston stuff around of course,if anyone wants Boston postcards or trinkets! Salt Water taffy is available anyplace there is a coastline, right? And while Marshmallow fluff was invented here, I am guessing it is in Supermarkets worldwide by now!
