I think I might just be the most spoiled girl in the world! This may wear off as my absence becomes less than a novelty for everyone back home hehe There have been a few packages arriving because we're getting married.  But, I have gotten other care packages since moving over- mostly the few times when people come to visit, though!  It seems there is always a good proportion of their luggage that is stuff for me in the shape of :

Nature valley granola bars (oats & honey)
Eucerin face moisturizer
Neutrogena Cream Powder Makeup
Auburn mascara
cinnamon Tic tacs
Cream of Wheat
bells seasoning (for stuffing!)
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Beano (for my MIL)

That seems to be my list every time someone asks me if there is anything I'm in need of! (Need being used in it's loosest form, obviously hehe) I haven't been as good with bringing stuff back home for people, although I try to bring a big bar of Cadbury's every time we go visit- OH! and lemon curd. Does anyone else have things they are always getting requests for when they visit home?

I've really enjoyed reading this post .....sorta reminds me of my mum sending me a care package over there in 1971 and lo and behold what was in it...... A pair of Desert Boots! (OK Who remembers Desert Boots?   ).........anywhoo......I lost em that very same night in a poker game to a very street savvy Brit.......Oh Dear....Sorry Mum

Anyone wanting me to send them care packages from America let me know.  So long as it's reasonable (like Twinkies).  PM me and i'll send you some stuff!

When I was in NYC and my sisters were still in Vienna, we'd send each other letters with stuff like "Chiclet" wrappers or fallen leaves just as a way of saying "Dont you miss this?"
