~~Snack Cake & Cookie sent/received thread~ COMPLETED!

[mommaU4]

Sign-ups are closed and names will be going out sometime today. Please check your PMs so I know they were picked up.

Just a reminder this is a $10 exchange before shipping. It can include any store bought snack cakes or cookies.

When packing up your goodies please do so in a way that keeps them safe and secure so we don't end up with crumbs.

Mail by date is May 17. Please post here once your mailed your package. And then again when and what, you receive. Thanks!!

Have fun. :goodvibes

[Missy1961]

I got my name! thanks Beth.

I'll be shopping this weekend.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will be going to the post office in the morning. Friday afternoons are not a time to be going there.

[mommaU4]

All names are now out. Please PM me if you didn't receive one for some reason or if you have any questions.

We have a total of 17 exchanges going out. Not too shabby. :thumbsup2

Let the shopping begin!!!

"One snack cake for them, one for me, one for them, one for me....." ;) :rotfl2:

[AlexWyattMommy]

"One snack cake for them, one for me, one for them, one for me....." ;) :rotfl2:

:rotfl2: I just packed up my box. I had to take some of the items out of their box to fit. And I thought, hmmm, I could keep one of these or one of those and it would fit better. :lmao: But I didn't. I am sending them all. :thumbsup2

[adaygaby]

I got my name thanks!!

I'll be doing some shopping this weekend....

now I'm thinking...hmmm will this be an extra excuse to buy some extra sweet for meeeee???:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

hihihihi popcorn::

[JLitfin]

"One snack cake for them, one for me, one for them, one for me....." ;) :rotfl2:


You are too funny. :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao:


BTW, I picked up my name. Will try to shop and drop off before postage goes up on Monday. That means getting up early tomorrow morning.

[mommytotwo]

Our exchanges are on their way to their new homes. :goodvibes

[Evita_W]

DH and I got our names!!!:banana: I agree with MommaU4..

"One for me....one for exchange...."

but with a twist....

"One for me.....take one from DH....one for the exchange...":rotfl2:

YUMMY!! Bring on the snacks....popcorn:: :woohoo:

[spookysarah]

I'm really excited about taking part. I have already got a few items but seeing how I made a mistake working out postal rates (which are now cheaper than expected!) I can go and get a few more things! Woohoo! :woohoo:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine have been dropped off at the post office and are now one their way to their new home. :)

They would have cost $15.95, but thanks to the flat rate box, it was only $8.95. Glad I got it done before the postal hike.

[JLitfin]

I dropped both our packages off this morning, so they are on there way. I made it, they got in the mail before the postal increase.

[mommaU4]

I forgot about the postal increase. Oh well. I guess it's not that bad. I've spent more on sillier things. :rolleyes1 :rotfl:

I've actually got my package almost ready, but I wanted to add a few more items. So I'm going out shopping again today.




OH! And all but 2 names have been picked up. I hope they are picked up soon though as one is going to a land far, far away ;) and I don't want it to take too long.......

Anyway, have a good Saturday all!! :)

[Missy1961]

I did a lot of shopping today. This is probably the easiest exchange I have ever done!

Hey--do Rice Krispy Treats count for this exchange? They're not really cookies or snack cakes, but they are kinda a snack thingie. I almost bought them today but I wasn't sure if they fit into this exchange. What do you guys think? :confused:

[mommaU4]

I say go for it. Cookies, snack cakes, rice krispy treats, even donuts maybe. Heck, it's all good right?? ;) :rotfl:
Just not really any candy since we did that for the Sweet Treat one.

I went shopping again today and bought more items! I'd better seal this package up before I need a bigger box. :rotfl2:

[Missy1961]

I thought they would qualify. Now I have to see if they'll fit in the box......

[mommaU4]

Okay, now I have a question. How are you all packing these goodies?? The snack cakes for example, are you leaving them in the box or taking them out? :confused3

[JLitfin]

Okay, now I have a question. How are you all packing these goodies?? The snack cakes for example, are you leaving them in the box or taking them out? :confused3

I left most in the box and there were a couple that wouldn't fit so I took them out of the box. So I did both in order to get everything to fit.

[mommaU4]

OK. I think mine are going to have to come out of the box in order to go into the flat rate box. Otherwise I don't know how I'll ship them. I can't fit 7 boxes into one flat rate box!! :rotfl2:

I just hope they don't end up as crumbs, otherwise my person will have to use them as ice cream toppings or eat them with a spoon or something. :rotfl:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Things that were individually wrapped came out of the box and they were tucked in around the boxes along with some plastic wrap. Those things were not moving. So as long as USPS doesn't smash the box, they should be good.

[mommaU4]

:thumbsup2

[Missy1961]

I haven't exactly packed them yet. Since I mail from the post office across the street from the office, all my mailing supplies are there. So I'll bring the stuff in with me tomorrow, see how it all fits in the box, and mail it Tuesday or Wednesday.

[mommaU4]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! These things are starting to tempt me!!! :lmao: I've got to get this package in the mail tomorrow!!!!!! :rotfl2:

[spookysarah]

OK so it seems I bought too much as it is too heavy to go airmail. :eek: I had to take a few individually wrapped items out of the larger bags and only put half of each in. I also had to take one pack out altogether. Fingers crossed it gets accepted at the Post Office this afternoon or that will be more for the family treat box. :rolleyes1 :rotfl:

[spookysarah]

And it's away! A package of favourite British goodies will be winging it's way across the pond soon. :banana:

[Missy1961]

Had to take some of the stuff out the box, but I did fit it all in a Flat Rate Box. :thumbsup2

I'll probably mail tomorrow, I have to get some birthday cards today & I won't have time to do both at lunch time.

[flrose]

Okay, now I have a question. How are you all packing these goodies?? The snack cakes for example, are you leaving them in the box or taking them out? :confused3
Beth, I'm so glad you asked that. I was going to the other day but, got sidetracked.
My shopping is done, now I have to figure out how to pack and mail the stuff.
So, here is my dumb question. Can you just go pick up the flat rate boxes at the post office?

[AlexWyattMommy]

That's not dumb. And yes you can pick one up. You can pick up a few. If you know you will be using alot, you can order them on line and have them delivered to your door. :thumbsup2

[flrose]

Thanks!

[Missy1961]

My box is full! It will be mailed tomorrow or Wednesday. :cool1:

[JLitfin]

My box arrived today from Hawaii, thanks so much Patsy.

I received:
2 - packages of Betty Crocker Cookie mix ( Double Chocolate & sugar)
Hawaiian Animal Cookies
Coconut Hawaiian Cookies
Hawaiian Royal creems
2 - packages of Keebler (chocolate peanut butter filled & fudge stripes)

I'm really trying to be good and wait till after dinner to try the coconut cookies but am having a hard time waiting. I might just have to try one before dinner, maybe two, hopefully I can stop after two.

[spookysarah]

Oooooh Jean, all those sound lovely, lucky you. :thumbsup2

I got
1. a box of Little Debbie Nutty bars
2. a box of Tastykake peanut butter Kandy Kakes

I already know I love the Oreos & the chocolate chessmen. I love Kudos, haven't had one in ages. The rest of the goodies I have never eaten--but I have a feeling I will love them all!
thanks Jean! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[mommaU4]

My box is packed full and ready to go out. I wish I could have put more in there, since this was so much fun to shop for! But I couldn't put even another cookie in there if I tried. :rotfl:

I think I packed it pretty tight too. I took all the snack cakes out of the box, but don't worry, I included a cheat sheet of what's in there so you don't have to try and figure it out, you can just dive right in!! :lmao:

Hoping to mail it tomorrow, but will post back for sure once it's on it's way.

[flrose]

You're welcome. Sorry I wasn't able to find the low calorie cookies, and such. I had gone to three stores that didn't have them, but I did see a slim selection of them today. A few days too late. Hope you enjoy everything.

No problem, I'm shouldn't have even put that on there, LOL! I'm glad I didn't miss out on the yummy selections I received. ;)

A large flat rate box is on it's way someplace tropical now.....;)

I filled it full and packed it pretty tight so unless someone at the USPS decides to stomp on it, then it should arrive ok.

This was a fun one to shop for.It was! I had so much fun shopping. I could have kept buying more. :rotfl:

I think I like doing the snack/treat ones because I know for sure it's something that will be liked. Sometimes I'll send something and I worry they won't like it or use it, but with this it's fun and you know it will get eaten! :rotfl2:

Son's package arrived this afternoon. After I picked him up from daycare, I mentioned it to him and I had to listen to "Are we there yet?" for about 15 min:worship: :worship: He was soooo excited that someone had sent him something.

Some of the snacks are:
Hazelnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Oreo Cakesters, Hostess Cupcakes, Reese's Brownie, Go Tarts, Animal cookies, Crispy Marshmallow Treats, Pocky biscuit sticks covered with strawberry cream Hostess, zingers, Cakes with Creamy filling 100 calories (I won't feel so guilty eating those ;))

[cmwade77]

Ok, I was eating some more of my snacks and I found that I had another item, Swedish Cookies with Blueberries, they look really good, sorry for missing it the first time around. Oh, for anyone interested in the funny bones that were posted in the sign up thread, I found you can order them online at http://www.drakescakesonline.com/ Also if you ship 3 or more boxes to a military address they will include a free box, I thought that was nice of them to do for our military.

[JLitfin]

Hopefully my 2nd package arrives soon, I sent it last Saturday. It is going a little distance so hoping for an arrival either over the weekend or early next week. I made a mistake and forgot to get delivery confirmation so I am unable to track it.

-small box of chocolate chip pecan cookies
-single pack lemon creme cookies
-3 pack of peanut butter/chocolate Kandy Kakes

Glad you enjoyed your package and trying out some of our favourites. Hobnobs are made from oats and were invented for dunking in tea! They soak up the tea but don't fall apart. ;) As for Gold Bars we reckoned you would either love them or hate them. Glad it's the first one! Shame you only got 4 (we ate the other 5, yum!) but I thought it best to split a few packs so that you could get more variety iyswim? The package came in at 50 grams under the maximum allowed so I could not send anymore than I did.

Also for anyone wanting to know more google is your friend and some are on wikipedia. Just be careful not to drool on your keyboards! :rotfl:

This exchange has been so much fun, thanks once again for hosting it!

I'm SO glad you finally received the package Sarah. I SO wanted to put more in there but, darn snack weigh alot! We love the oreo cakesters too! Can't have them around the house.
Anyway, glad your family is enjoying the treats.

They do weigh a lot don't they? I had the same problem mailing mine to the USA. I was 50g under the max allowed.

Have to ask what the cakes in plain wrappers were. The red ones with coconut and the brown and white chocolate covered sponge fingers? Bothe very yummy.

The red ones with coconut were probably raspberry Zingers.

Did they look like this:

I can't think what the chocolate sponge fingers would be.....:confused3

[pennst8r]

I just got a great package from CMWade77 (Chris)!

It was full of 9 kinds of treats--including oreos, chocolate chocolate-chip, hohos, chocolate wafer cookies, shortbread, twinkies and 2 as yet unknowns (I"m sure that will change in about 1/2 hour when DSs get home!). There's also a package of "Mother's" cookies, which look yummy, but I'd never heard of them before.

I'm sitting here now with a cup of coffee and my snacks...I was on a field trip today with 2nd graders in the cold. This was a welcome suprise to come home to! i"m starting with the twinkies....

:thanks:

Oh yea!!! I am glad they got there...I was online and thought I would respond. DH and I loved setting it all up! Those mother cookies are great! At least I think so.:banana:

Sorry for the "mystery" packages but they wouldn't fit otherwise....:rotfl2:

ENJOY!!! You deserve it! popcorn::

[pennst8r]

not complaining in the least! :goodvibes Just didn't want to open everything at once....cause then I'd have to eat them so they didn't get stale :rotfl2:

But I couldn't resist the lure of the Mother's cookies---they are open and a new favorite.

thanks again!

Beth, now there's only 2 more to arrive.

My DH received his goodies today from Dania.
She sent:
2 packages of Oreo cookies - 1 of each vanilla and chocolate cream
Nutter Butter cookies
Little Debbie Zebra cakes
Barnum's Animal crackers
Nabisco Nilla Cakesters

Thanks so much, I'm sure the oreos are going to be the first to disappear.

Yes, I had to redo the package 3 times. the one time I was in the PO the guy said you could probably just remove 1 thing and I can retape it for you. I was like :confused3 I didn't want to remove just one thing so I had to take it home and think about it somemore. :lmao:

Anyway, Beth was right the red ones are the Raspberry Zingers (I can't see the pic she posted) the other brown & white frosted ones were also a Little Debbie product that I have not tried before. They didn't have a particular name for them just Dessert Cakes w/buttercream frosting. Ok so it was the "butter" and "cream" that drew my attention :rotfl:

OH! I know what you are talking about. I sent some of those to Patsy. I hope they made it and weren't the ones that fell out.

I'm still so bummed the box was opened and some were missing. :sad2:
