I put loads of things into the box last night.  XoD (and others) may want to not look at the dates on any food items for fear of a heart attack.  I promise dry goods are all fine to use after "best by" dates.

I desperately tried to find a variety of stuff around the house - definitely felt the pressure!  :P 

There are things in there that I hope make people laugh.

Box weighs just under 2kg.  Loads of tiny items so hoping people take multiple items.

I did so good.... except I left the box at home.  DOH!  Monday it'll go in the post.   ;D

*side note - I was looking through my stash of American drugs.  I have WAY too many things that have expiration dates in 2011 and 2012.   ;)

I'm thinking of leaving an empty box out this weekend to catch a cat for Jimbo!   ;D

I fear there isn't anything in the box he'll like.   :-\\\\

Made an edit!

Go on, but me down too. I don't have anything American at this point... But I can always get some fun stuff somewhere.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

It doesn't have to be American, it can be anything you like!  :D (but best if it's not huge or heavy because we're trying to keep the postage down!)

Now it's up to all of us to keep it under 2kg!  If it's going to be over, take more stuff out!  Take, take, take!  :)

THIS!  A million times this.  If it's over 2kg, remove something heavy and call it a day.   ;D
