| Someone offered to send me a care package and I don't know if there is anything that I really need. Has someone surprised you by sending something fabulous or something that you didn't know that you missed? |

A huge tupperware box of fudge brownies, each one with a miniature Reese's Peanut Butter cup in the middle. I got that when I was treeplanting. Thanks mom!
(I didn't share.)
Best things I got here were good prophylactics and real wool socks. I'm wearing them right now actually...the socks, I mean |

Maltloaf! (Though it was posted in a regular envelope....so arrived flat. Still tasted good).
I also like it when I ask for something to be sent and I get an extra 'surprise'. Anything that is not available here is good for me.
Hard to tell mates thanks for the Snickers and Kit Kats but...... |

You guys get your parents to send you perishables?? My mum would NEVER do that for me.
My last care package contained several Terry's Chocolate Oranges, some Birds custard, several bags of Typhoo teabags, some treacle for making treacle tarts with, a bottle of branston pickle *squeezeable* and some other sundries.
My mum will basically send me anything I ask for as long as it's not perishable or breakable. |

Wow! Your mom is cool. That is awesome.
You guys are really making me feel bad. My family would never send anything. I take that back. My mom did send me a bill once. Now I am feeling sorry for myself  |

Cheez-its.
Bought them on Amazon.com and had them forwarded to me from a mail service. |

If it makes you feel any better, my mom lives just minutes away from an outlet center.  |
