We're always thrilled to get stuff in the mail...and quite a few people have sent us care packages since we moved 17 months ago. Thank you because we know it is a sacrifice of money (for postage mostly!) and time for each of you!
Below is a wish list that we'll periodically update. We'll put a link to this list on the side of this blog so you can always find it. We've selected items that we can't get in India, or are very expensive here. Most of these are items that usually do fine in the mail, but for things that may melt or get stolen, contact us and we'll have someone hand-carry them over. Of course, you can use this list to brainstorm and surprise us with something not on the list, too! If you do want to mail us something, PLEASE contact us by email to confirm our address and the best way to get it here.
The list starts with the least expensive and includes a few "splurge-items" we love at the end.
- school programs or newspaper articles that mention you or your family
- newspaper clippings about local news (i.e. Hood River News, The Oregonian)
- music or book review clippings
- cartoon clippings
- photos of you and your family (our frig needs decorating!)
- newspaper/magazine clippings about children-at-risk
- microwavable kettlecorn
- Cliff Bars (carrot cake flavor is Lib's favorite)
- candy: Butterfinger, white chocolate Kit Kats, black licorice (favorite is organic brands)
- magazines: any flyfishing, any sailing, any running/health mag, Cooking Light, Real Simple, Wired, Relevant, Reader’s Digest
- powdered hummus mix
- cereal: Honey Smacks, Cheerios, and Rice Crispies (these are $10+ a box over here!)
- Parmesean cheese
- pretzels
- root beer flavored anything
- Bath & Body Works hand liquid soap
- dried fruit (non-sugared; especially pears, cherries, and peaches)
Splurge-items!
- Glutin-free products
- freeze dried fruit (non-sugared; especially blueberries, peaches, strawberries)
- smoked salmon (check out http://www.ilovesalmon.com/!)
- iTunes gift cards
- Garrison Keillor CDs (Lake Wobegon stories)
- DVDs (see our DVD Wish List)
Have enuf for now of these, but will probably "re-add" them to the list in the future:
- beef jerky
- Altoids strips (also called “smalls”) or gum
- coffee beans (whole; extra bold flavor)
- hot chocolate packets
- hot apple cider packets

Ben and Libby thanks for that I am always at the store thinking what could I send the Spotts that they don't get in India. Now I know. Des
