Oh lovely friends and family, I do love your letters and packages! People have asked me what they should send over, since weight is so precious. So instead of you calling my parents this time, here's a list of things I love. Every single thing you send is so appreciated, on the list or not!
-Luna/Clif bars
-Powdered hummus/vegetarian chili (in the natural foods aisle of the grocery store, made by Fantastic Foods and packaged in small cardboard boxes).
-Cheese (Hickory farms makes unrefrigerated smoked cheese, at Target)
-Sour gummy candy
-Dark chocolate
-Chalula hot sauce
-Spaghetti sauce or soup powdered packets (vegetarian)
-Powdered drink mixes (Crystal light, chai latte, apple cider, hot choc)
-Dried fruit (craisins/cherries/blueberries)
-Nuts (almonds, pistachios, pine nuts)
-Wasabi roasted peas
-Fun shower stuff (lotion, body wash, shamp&cond, etc)
-Candles/incense that smell good

*Mail can take awhile to get to me, so don't be disturbed if you haven't heard back for awhile! Best case: I get your letter or package 2 weeks after you send it! Worst case: It gets lost or arrives 3 months later. Usually it takes a month or so.
*Packages do get "lost" so if you're sending more than just a little, divide into multiple packages. That way, at least some of it might get to me! You can also put little things in envelopes with letters. It's always better to send letters separate from packages, so they have a better chance.
