My foodie penpals package for September is heeere!
I was excited to receive it this month (even more so than usual I mean) because the person sending to me is someone I know pretty well from blogging and even met once – the lovely Charlotte. This month’s parcel was a giant envelope, so on opening it I tipped it all out on the floor:
Check out those noms! Here’s a more detailed look at what my parcel contained:
A strawberry bear and a raspberry bear. I’m not 100% sure what these are but I can’t wait to find out!
British chocolatey goodness ❤
This is really cool! Chocolate pieces, raisins, dried cranberries and cherries in a little pack. Immediately after I finished taking the photos I ripped this open and devoured it. It was delicious – and it counts as one of my five a day!
The savoury stuff. A sausage casserole mixture and some Jamie Oliver stuffing mix that sounds amazing!
“The dark side of Skittles”. I’m very intrigued by these.
Finally, some fruity green tea that says it’s good for my immune system. Charlotte said she included this so I wouldn’t catch another bad cold – how thoughtful is that?
She also sent me this cute pasta postcard (the rules say you must include something written with the food – it is supposed to be “penpals” after all!).
I’ve been totally spoiled with this months package. So many treats! Thank you Charlotte 🙂
As for me, I was again sending to somebody without a blog. Alice, from England, told me she’s gluten intolerant, which ruled out a lot of the traditional Swiss things I usually send. This is what I ended up putting together for her:
Amazingly, I managed to squidge all of that into one rather small box. Check it out:

Oh what wonderful treats you got! No wonder you were excited.:) Your parcel was more of a challenge.I sent to a vegan ( quite a while ago) but she still hasn’t recieved it.I’m a bit worried its lost in the post.:(
Oh no – I hope it isn’t lost! The very first person I sent a parcel to never did let me know whether she received it!
That must have been frustrating.Melike emailed telling me not to worry as parcels take their time to Turkey.So fingers crossed.X
Oooo yum!! I’ve never seen those Cadbury oats things before – must look out for them. Did you try the Skittles – any good?
I haven’t yet – saving them til after my holiday so Jan can share.
Oooo now that’s a winner of a box, still waiting on mine, if it’s half as good I’ll be so happy!
It’s an excellent box. I’m so happy with it!
I used to have a Graze box delivered when I was at uni, I wish they had a Belgian thing like that!
YAYAYAY! I’m so lad you liked it!
That Graze tub – they’re selling them in Tescos now! It’s a shame that they’re a little on the pricey side though.
The Graze tub was amazing. Sadly I didn’t get a chance to go to Tesco while I was in the UK. Next time!
I’ve just signed up OMG YES!!!!!!
Yay!
