Hmmmm well let's see. I have swapped with my vegan buddy twice now and I received many, many different items including but not limited to lol:

Christmas Pudding
Vegan Cream
All different types of Vegan Chocolates
Cookies
Vegan Jelly
Vegan Energy/Health Food Bars
Couscous
Many different types of tea
Vegan Parmazzano

We are hoping to do another swap for later on this year lol - and we both are already planning what to put in the next package. :D

This sounds like fun! Is anyone interested in exchanging care packages?

My advice is don't do it. I sent two packages to people and never recieved mine :( .

You still never received yours? I didn't either! :( I can send another or give you a package when you come to the states, Banana :)

I also never received one from one of the people I did the Christmas exchange with; that person no longer posts here and I have attempted to met up with her about it online, to no avail.

That being said, I successfully exchanged with Artichoke (lovely!) and Gertvegan(brilliant!) :)

I received an awesome gift from ConsciousCuisine but never from the person who I was supposed to exchange with.

No that is Ok -- you probably spent heaps of money anyway. I know I did :( - Sarah got her package from me, but I didn't get it from her. The postal service is terrible :mad: What was in it, by the way :p

That isn't fair :mad:

Well I am glad others have had good experiences with it ;)

sorry to hear you've had a bad experience Banana. Roxy and i have successfully swapped packages twice. :) i would advise people sending packages to get them insured if that's available at their post office, because then if the packages get lost you can claim back the money you spent on them (at least you can if you post in the UK anyway).

cedarblue sent me something recently and I never received it :( but we had previously exchanged packages and it was great. Me and boomer are now doing our 2nd exchange and I just got a great cookbook from PinkFluffyCloud :D .

I have a feeling that prson was the same one who never responded to my attempts to find out what happened to the package I was supposed to get from them as well :(

I got a care package from spo! It contained food for the mind rather than the tummy, plus a few extra surprises. Thank you, spo! :)

:)You are very welcome, my friend. I always love "food for the mind" - it does a vegan's body good!! :D :D

YES :D - I love to torture myself LOL

This is some of what was in yours (that I can remember)

Most of it was organic:

- lemon polenta porridge
- hot date chutney
- pasta sauce (I forget which flavour - Basil & garlic, arrabiatta or fungi)
- popcorn
- tangerine soychocolate
- organic macadamia nut butter w/ davidson plum swirl (I think)
- some sort of organic specialty jams
- mungbean chips

that is all I can remember right now.

Thank you cedarblue! I have never had Tartex before. The lemon zest cookies are the best! If we could exchange vegan care packages with omnis, I am sure we would win converts. I just wouldn't want to eat what they send in return. :rolleyes: :p

Thank you, kriz. It's good to be back. I got moved three weeks ago, after a year of asking the harbormaster to move the boat, so I guess having to wait three weeks for the phone box to get moved too isn't so bad! :rolleyes:

my mother sent me a care package at school and all it had in it was slim jims, beef jerkey, and beef flavored ramin with a note that read "you over that phase yet" - how sweet

I'm willing to exchange packages. Anyone want to send me some chocolates in exchange for a box of mashed potatoe sandwiches?

Seaside

How tempting! Will you do the mashing yourself, or leave it up to the shippers to mash them in transit?

What's beef jerkey? And doesn't it contain beef?

Come to think of it, what's a slim jim?

Actually, I'm withdrawing the offer. I like those sandwiches too much.

I think that beef jerkey is dried strips of beef.

A slim jim sounds like that tool used by car thieves to open car doors.

Beef jerky is dried strips of beef, and slim jims are highly processed stick-shaped meat snacks. Neither need refrigeration.

We get tasty vegan versions of these things over here, but I'm not willing to share unless I can have some of those mashed-potato sandwiches.

Do the mashed potato sandwiches have ketchup? Coz that would be double delish!!!!!!!!!!!
