2.  Don't flake on your partner, just like you wouldn't want your partner to flake on you.  If you're unsure whether you'll have time/money to get a package together, don't sign up.

3.  Bring it!  Don't send out something crappy!

4.  Homemade and/or store bought goodies are welcome.

5. This is an ALL VEGAN exchange.

yay!! Glad you liked it PG.  I loved getting / making stuff for you.  I hope Vegan Brunch arrives soon.  N has used the website I got it from and when he ordered it arrived pretty quickly so I hope it's quick for you too!

I just went back and checked my email to you and am 100% sure I gave you the right address, so fingers crossed there's just some crappy slow postal service going on!

Just had some of the gingerbread biscotti and it's wonderful as well. :) And I'm pretty sure I'll need the recipe for the tomato and olive biscotti.  Yum.

I'll PM it to you later on.  I was very impressed with the puke olive & tomato biscotti, and will definitely be making again.  I think it needs more time in the oven to make it really crisp though.  The recipe is from Party Vegan

I got my package from VH!!! Apparently it was at the post office for a while, and there was some crazy mix-up going on. It took me a couple trips and talking to supervisors to get it, but I'm so glad! I'll post pictures later tonight, probably, but wanted to let you know, VH, that my daughter inhaled one of the pastries this morning and absolutely loved it. I haven't tried anything yet, but by tonight, I'll give a full review! Thank you so much!!!!

Also, I hope my person has gotten their package and is just having too much going on to post, because by now, stuff probably will be bad.

all you package-worriers - I'm sure the packages will all arrive safely and be greatly appreciated!  Hopefully the slow mail systems sort themselves out in the next few days and we can see some more awesome stuff! : )

I was thinking a combo of Easter and Mother's Day.  Damnit, I'm getting inpatient.  I want my package to arrive at my giftee already.

ETA...the postman at the PO where I mailed my package was 100 if he was a day.  I'm starting to worry he messed up my package some way due to old age forgetfullness.

She sent me
*these amazing Anzac biscuits (I've already eaten 5 of them!) and feijoa bread (which I haven't tried yet) - both with recipes
*a childrens book called Hairy Maclary - apparently a very famous icon in New Zealand
*2 bags - one in a tiny bag (definitely going in my purse!)
*2 different set of 'fruit forks' - ideal for me since I often get my keyboard at work all sticky with berry juice...
*the Hippy Boy toothpick holder, which is funny because Andy has a thing for toothpick holders - we have several weird ones - so now he can add this to his collection
*3 chocolate bars - hell yeah!
*and 3 NZ inspired buttons
