Items/ingredients I have available locally which others might be interested in:I can find most anything around here
Favourite scent: spicy smells, pumpkin, lavender, cloves
*important!*
I am international/am prepared to ship internationally - yes or no......yes

I was on the need to convince list silently.... I'll do this one!
Favourite candy/treat: I try to stay away from candy/treats.. but something that is treat-ish for me that i never buy myself because i hate having to justify wasting the money on basically no calories is nori (raw or even not) cause i like to make sushi rolls sometimes

Favourite cookie: see treats questions
I am allergic to and/or hate these flavours: --

*important!*
I am international/am prepared to ship internationally - no, can't afford!
I'm really boring with the food, cause sometimes I eat crap but I try not to so I'd rather not get anything like that. but I'd happily except whatever. Weird things I like: Magnets, books, shirts, art.. I'm not that picky. I am pretty practical, though.
Ok, fine, you've convinced me. :) Sorry if I missed this part, but is there a definite theme? Or are regional things and cookies just guidelines?
I think it's pretty much open, but if the regional stuff questions help you decide what to send/what not to send then that's cool too! : )

Items/ingredients I wish I could find in my area but can't: I just got Viva Vegan last weekend and have yet to really hunt, but I suspect I don't have easy access to the various chillies and such recommended in the book. Pretty much any awesome American/European baking/cooking supplies! I've heard butterscotch chips are awesome? I have found liquid smoke recently.
Items/ingredients I have available locally which others might be interested in: yeah, there's not a lot! Whittakers dark chocolate is apparently really good. Feijoa flavoured things? I would say bark nooch like Shell, but I haven't even had access to that since last year because our local supplier has been out of stock!

Favourite scent: sandalwood, nag champa
*important!*
I am international/am prepared to ship internationally - yes or no (no)
I will have to come back to this and put the cookbook(s) I would like because I can't think of any right now.
ETA: I thought I would add, just in case I seem difficult to create a package for, that I LOVE anything handmade. If you are crafty or artistic please go for it. It means so much when someone takes the time to make something special just for you. :)>>>
Also I love all things yoga and the "om" symbol.
i am with Sarah on this one! I will be in on the next though :)
