[Artichoke47]

I have the sweetest sister ever!

Uhm...that is my excuse for the bad dinner in the "what did you eat today" thread. :rolleyes:

Awesome, huh?

[Michelle]

That's pretty cool!! Your sister IS a sweety :)

Myself and ConsciousCuisine are sorting out a care package for each other, and I thought it'll be a good idea if others fancy doing it to. Just choose somebody in a different country and pm them to ask if they fancy doing it, or leave your interest here, and then when you get a match, pm each other from there. Just agree on an amount to spend, what each of you would/would not prefer, swap your address etc etc.

i'd be interested to take part with someone :)

[Gorilla]

i'd be interested in swapping with a non-UK vegan too, PM me if you're interested please! :D

[ConsciousCuisine]

Gorilla, as I understand it, you and Gert are able to hang out together, right? Maybe I could just send a "double" package with 2 of everything and ship it all at once and you and Gert could do the same for me? That way you could each have something new or different to try and my family could as well...just a thought... :) I am open to doing the same thing with others too, with packages of any size or dollar amount, within reason... :)

[Gorilla]

Thanks a lot ConsciousCuisine. Gert and i also know Cedarblue, so i don't want Cedar to feel left out! - perhaps we could all sort something out between us?

[ConsciousCuisine]

Cool! Luckily, I am in the Catering business and can handle crowds :) It's actually just as easy for me to send 3 of everything and then get an assortment back! (there are 3 vegans in my household too) It's perfect, actually!

thank you :o

I know I'm new to this board but I'd love to swap with a UK vegan and get some great UK vegan goodies. Since ConsciousCuisine can get the west coast vegan goodies, I can cover the east coast vegan goodies if anyone is interested.

[gertvegan]

Just to say my care package to cc is on its way. Has anybody received theres yet ?

[negavert]

Hmm, I've never done this sort of thing before. Any Eurovegans interested? I'd like to take part. If you're from continental Europe I'd be especially interested as some of the US vegan distributors have a good selection of UK wares. UK vegans are welcome, however; I'm sure not everything is available here! ;)

[~*Blue*~]

wait! i have 2 questions:

1) i've never tried vegan chocolate (or some of the other stuff in the basket), is it truly yummy?

2) is that a good price for the package? (like i said, i haven't had the chance to buy most of those things, actually, i've never even seen any of those things except the soy milk, please forgive my silly questions!)

i do wish i had seen this thread earlier though, i would have sent myself a package for the last hurricane i was in :)

Hey you,

I´m a Eurovegan, from Germany and I´d really like to have some UK and US veg.goodies, so it would be fun to make an exchange with anyone who wants (especially I really like the uk-cheese, it´s pretty hard to get in Germany).

Ok, if somebody wants to write and make a deal: linda.sperling@gmx.de

[Artichoke47]

The Tree Huggin' Treats were awesome. I don't normally eat sweets such as that. The chocolate flavor was delicious.

The package is probably good for gift-giving only. If you want certain items, you should order direct.

[negavert]

Hey Phoebe, I wrote to you about a possible trade; check your inbox :D

[cedarblue]

my care package partner and i (uk & usa) agreed that instead of fixing a top amount to spend on the package, it may be more sensible to agree on say 10 or 12 items and then the sender can spend whatever they fee able to instead of having to match others.


after all its the items in the package that count isnt it, not the value really.

;)

[gertvegan]

Woohoo, thanks to CC I have a US care package. :D

Its got sooooo much in it. The Wha Guru chew has gone already, as has the Newmans Own dark chocolate. Mmmmmm chocolate. Its got everything, from herbal toothpaste, to super fruits desert mix, to meatless pepperoni snack. Too much to fit into one post.

Thankyou CC. I'll be seeing several other forum members on saturday, so if its ok with you, I'll share the goodies with them to.

[ConsciousCuisine]

Yes! I think that's so great of you to share! (It WAS a big package ;) and my family had so much fun choosing your treats)

Blessings! ;)

[tails4wagging]

thanks for the web address, my friends and I are ordering a parcel between us, hope it gets here in uk ok!?.

[Mystic]

Hi! I want to participate in a vegan care package too!!! There are some things that I want, that I cannot get here in Australia and I would love to swap goodies with someone!!!! Anyone from US who is interested, private msg me or just converse with me on this thread!!!!

[Mystic]

Does anybody, not in Australia want to swap a care package????? I posted on another thread but I am not sure if anyone saw :)

[Artichoke47]

I'd be interested! I have never sent anything to Australia, though. Do you go to the regular post office or UPS store to do that? LOL

Send me a PM when you have time, unless someone else beat me to it! :)

[cedarblue]

woohoooo! i just got my package from feline01. its full of lovely treats, we're all very excited about digging into it.

thanks feline01 ;)

Did they enjoy the treats? Did you? ;) What did you like best or what was the most unusual item?

I am still looking out for mine...

Ciao! ;)
