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.

Yay, I'm so glad it made it! I was getting worried because I don't think the chili seeds were totally legal and I was afraid customs might have kept the whole thing. I hope you like everything, hopefully most of the food stuff is still edible. :P
Yay more packages, and yay to more exchanges! Here are some pics of my (long gone treats) and package!

Thanks again CW, love it all!
You are right oww. I keep going down to my front door to see if it has magically appeared :P
Didn't your package arrive late last time, too, theo? :-/
I was away when it arrived, so I had to open it when I came back. But it was an awesome parcel and the wait just made it better. A million times better than the one in 2009 that never came at all!
I'm certain that this one is on the way, and will be totally awesome :D
Didn't your package arrive late last time, too, theo? :-/
No, I sent her package early but it didn't arrive before she left for a 2 week Christmas holiday at her family's house. Which bugged me me a little because I sent it in plenty enough time for it to get there before she left. Damn slow post offices on both sides of the world. Then her roommates didn't tell her it arrived so she didn't get it until she came home from her visit.
ETA...haha...we both posted at the same time. :)
don't worry mirrya....it may have been slow postage services again this time but OMFG my parcel is awesomeness x 1000 gajillion!!!!
Double post
You are right oww. I keep going down to my front door to see if it has magically appeared :P
I also excitedly check my mail everyday when I get home from work. Nothing yet but that must mean it will be extra special too. Hopefully it gets here before I move in a few weeks.
I also keep checking the boards multiple times a day to see if the package I shipped magically arrived. :( It's been nearly 3 weeks. If no word by Friday, I'm going to put together another one for my person and resend on Monday. Although this time I know they lied to me about not having international package tracking. I read that they do on the official postal website and will bring a printout so I can show them when they try to shine me on.
ETA...I tried to post at the same time again. You guys are too fast or I type really slow. But Yay...it finally arrived!!!!
*ahem* I mean it didn't arrive and you really should post another one full of the same amazingness you put in the first ;)
It's all on facebook but anyways.....
I got this:

So a list of everything:
a lovely handwritten note IN PURPLE!!!! which I did read before I opened everything so that kind of gave stuff away but made it all even better!
A fantastic hat made by mirrya - excellent. The only winter hat I have is a floppy one that comes off in the stupid Wellington wind - this one fits perfectly (as in the photo!)
a matching scarf made by mirrya's twin
2 endangered species chocolate bars - on plain dark chocolate, and one with blueberries - sounds yummy
an odwalla chewy nut bar
an odwalla chocolate chip peanut bar
2 primal strip packets - 1 texas BBQ and 1 thai peanut
a package of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies - which are delicious - N & I have already had one each - yum!
some cool monkey bag clips - which I didn't mention but we need some of these so great!
some lovely dark purple nail varnish - I always keep my toenails painted so this is great AND it's a partciular shade of purple I don't have!! (which is quite amazing in itself)
a large butterfly cookie cutter - awesome!
a flower scrubbing brush and holder - I love it!
a jar of queso - I've never had queso before and am so looking forward to it. I have said to Niall we'll have to save it for a special nacho night dinner so we can really savour it.
a lovely butterfly plant stake...just need to decide which plant to use it for....possibly my plant on my desk at work because that will need one soon and then I'll get to see it all the time
a bouncy English guard - to remind me of home!
a purple butterfly wind chime - when I opened that N asked 'how did they know we wanted one of them?'....so something that we've been wanting to get but not got round to - psychic mirrya!
some non-barky nooch!!! again to be used for special meals so we can savour it properly
AND Vegan on the Cheap - I so nearly bought this for myself recently and oww will tell you that I have been wanting this so much and have been raving about it.
I love everything so so much. Thank you, you've been so generous.
And there was a present for Gary:

ps sorry for the dark photos, my stupid camera wouldn't flash.
after seeing her in the box, my already high opinion of gary just went up a little bit more.
holy hell that's a lot of stuff! Whoa, way to show us up, Mirrya!
haha, awesome awesome package, and so 'just right' for Shell!
And yes, I vouch that email discussions on whether to by Vegan on the Cheap or not have indeed taken place.
Five to go! : )
It arrived! Eeeee! Thank you so much!

Everything is delicious! :)
I ate ALL the cookies yesterday. Hahaha! And they were SO yummy. I've only tried a bit of the frosting on the cupcake, but it tastes amazing so far.
And I got to make tvp burgers with the liquid smoke for dinner last night. Yay! Thanks so much OWW! I love the stuff you sent. :)
I sent my package to dprince, and know he must have gotten it awhile ago, and just isn't posting. Wahh! But, I think you could take him off the list?
I think that is one of the reasons we like to have vw'ers that have been on here awhile do the exchanges.....
I remember him writing something about his wife having surgery, it sounded like he was having a stressful time. I just hope he sent OUT a package, because it sucks when someone doesn't get a package.
