I think the cabinet where you store all the American sweets is getting a bit overloaded and untidy.  I’d suggest you start there!
You just wait. I have something special just for you.

Oh man, I’m dying! 
When I first kicked off the package , I put some American candy in from the family stash.  It ended up that the kids had their eyes on it and asked me where the candy went.  When I told them that I gave it away to strangers on the internet, they were furious.  Judging by the pictures, it may come back around and the kids will be surprised

My new step sister in law asked me to get her some peanut butter M&M's on my last trip over in July. I bought a family sized bag. When I got back home, I realized I never see SIL and probably won't see her for months to come so I ate those peanut butter M&M's. I was right... still haven't seen her and not scheduled to see her anytime soon.

I'm cleaning out my flat. You never know what I will end up adding. One woman's junk is another person's treasure. Lol

Stupid question but is the idea to buy something new or put something in that you already have? Happy either way, just curious as I'm a noob with this stuff) :)

I think it's whatever you feel comfortable doing. I already know what I am putting in. They are new items but I didn't go out and buy them expressly for this.

I would also feel comfortable adding in something gently used if I thought it was a unique or cute item that someone might want.

I'm gonna jump back on the train here.

BTW @Rick Stephens your no-bake cookies were delicious--so chocolatey! I peeked into the foil and they smelled so good I couldn't resist.

And @brenzie I'm chuffed that you chose the Dorset Apple Cake... if you wanted to post a pic of the finished product I'd be interested to see how it turned out!
