For all of you out there just dying to send me a package (sic), here is what the perfect package would include:
-Sargento colby jack cheese sticks (believe it or not, these make it and are AWESOME with eggs)
-Knorr (formerly Lipton) Sides w/Veggies
-Taco Bell/Del Taco sauce packets
-Fun-size 3 Musketeers, Milky Way & Butterfinger bars (thanks again Megan!!)
-A couple of magazines
-Pictures of you/family/friends/places
-A cute (sleeveless or short-sleeved) shirt (size M)
-Bumble Bee Tuna Individual Size Pouches
-New Music on CD
-Emergen-C/Crystal Light
-Jiffy Pop popcorn pans
-Stuff for my walls
-A new movie or TV on DVD
-Shaving cream (Barbasol is fine)
-Doggie shampoo
-Doggie treats/toys
-Indian food boil-in-bag pouches (esp. Palak Paneer, Jaipur Vegetables, Mattar Paneer)
-Letters
-Simple clothes catalog (J. Crew, Delia’s, etc… the tailors here can copy anything from a picture, especially cute dresses)
-Reach flosser cartridges
-Secret Clinical Strength Anti-Perspirant
-Chapstick (no SPF please! Unless it’s Carmex Click Stick SPF 15)
-Ziploc Bags (Good quality, Ziploc brand is actually best. The ones with the little plastic piece that you “zip” open and closed with are even better because they don’t wear out as easy. You can wrap all this other stuff up in them!)
-Mini-bar size bottles of liquor
-Batteries
-Surprises!
-Oh and some Chipotle burritos with extra sour cream would be awesome . See if you can work that out!
Things I need only one of:
-Dog training book
-Gorilla tape (maybe 2 of these – stronger than duct tape)
-Two Ears of Corn (book)
-Travel-size bottles for shampoo and whatnot
-Thick-strapped (no spaghetti straps) tank tops with built-in bras (check the sports section of Target – would like 3 or 4)
-Good set of small silver (or stainless steel or white gold) hoop earrings (the ones my dad sent one fell out somewhere so I only have one now, but they were perfect!)
-Heartgard/Frontline (for dogs)
-Physician’s Formula Blemish Healing Concealer (one shade darker than Fair Light)
-Prevention Insect Bite Relief spray
-Long shorts (below knees) made of light, loose sweatpant material (like goucho pants – would like 2-3 of these)
-Unscented shampoo (JASON makes a good one)
-Echinacea/Elderberry immune system supplements
-Phos Flur fluoride mouthwash
-A couple of travel-size toothpastes
My Guinean friends have requested:
-Sports Illustrated/other sports magazines especially featuring soccer
-Good-quality soccer jerseys (especially USA or Barcelona)
-Big box of crayons
-Non-chocolate individual-size candies (runts, nerds, sweet tarts, little skittles packets, stuff like that)
Things I don’t need any more of:
-Floss (though I would take Reach flosser cartridges cause they make life easy)
-Soap (including Dr. B’s)
-Toothpaste
-Laughing Cow cheese (we can get that here although only in original flavor so the swiss variety was cool to get but if you’re gonna send cheese go for the cheese sticks mentioned above!)
-Cheese powder
-Cinnamon
-Sunblock
-Hand sanitizer
-Vitamins
-Wipes (baby, antibacterial)
-Body lotion
-Hairties
