Hello ETSers, I have a small request for you all and figured it would be interesting to see what we come up with. I've made a new friend via the internet that lives in Japan. After chatting for a bit we have decided to mail each other a box full of stuff that you can only get from our respective countries. If you were in my shoes, what would you put in said box that would be unique for a early 30's Japanese woman? It can be anything since she is sharing this box with her friends and family. So far I have the following items going in (some of which are things her and her friends requested):
cut and pasted from her email
whole wheat flour (for me)
bacon jerky (my coworkers loved it!)
cheeze flavored popcorn (my friend told me it was much better than Japanese one)
pickled asparagus (for my mother)
jelly beans (my sister's children really loved them. lycoris flavor is their favorite. Is it good? I didn't have a chance to try it)
What I plan on adding
Dunkin' Donuts Original Blend Coffee
Lays Potato Chips (one of the weird flavors)
Local organic soup
Mexican Coca-Cola
and a few other things (I cant remember what they are and I dont have my list near by)
Think of things that are very American (its actually harder than I thought) that you can't get outside of the US. Also, is there anything that I should request from Japan that is a 'must have' item?
