RANDOM SWAP - *COMPLETED*

[Sarahlacewing]

That's one of the controversies because there is a lot more dangerous stuff that they don't ban. The kinder eggs thing was a supervision problem not a stupid child problem. I think it's really sad kids died, I just wish their parents had been more attentive yah know?

[nessa16]

Easter Items? Yes, I love Easter.  Secular or religious items are fine with me.  I love home décor type items with a more vintage feel.  Not anything kiddy though please.  Homemade things are nice too.

Easter Candy? Heck yes!  MINI original Cadbury crème eggs (don't like the regular sized ones), Cadbury chocolate eggs with candy shell (kind of like M&Ms, think they are just called Mini Eggs), Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs, Starburst original Jelly Beans and Willy Wonka Sweet Tart Bunnies, and Chicks are always welcome.

Wrapping?  I am not too picky honestly as it will be torn up anyway.  No newspaper though due to the ink transfer.  Easter themed would be A-Okay

Baked items? Sure, as long as they are packaged to keep them from drying out and getting all over everything else.  I love chocolate chip oatmeal cookies!

Homemade Dog Biscuits? Yes.  However let me know if they contain chicken, lamb, or beef as I have one dog that is sensitive to those.  If they do contain these items just make sure to write "For Toby Only" on the bag and I will remember that it contains those ingredients because it is my other dog Osiris that can't have them.  I wouldn't mind getting the recipe for homemade dog treats.

I think it is silly that they have banned Kinder Surprise Eggs.  It is interesting though that import stores in the US can still sell them.  There was a specialty kitchen store in my college town in CO that always carried them around Easter time and I always got them for my nieces.  Pretty pricey at about $3 an egg but they loved them.  How hard is it to figure out not to eat the toy or for parents to actually supervise their children with them.  I always made sure that my sister-in-law and my nieces knew there were toys in them.

i think all i need now are extras. whew!

[rosierjay]

just 2 small projects for my box, then i need to wrap everything.

[Mkia]

I'm waiting on the last two things in the mail. Then I need maybe one or two more extras and then it'll be wrapping time!

[Mori_LeStrange]

Here's a new question for you all to feed on:

Dear partner, would you like home baked goodies? I like to bake a lot. And if you would, what are your favs?

Sure I love baked goods. Mmmmmm cookies.

Also, I have a recipe for healthy doggie biscuits....would you like some for your puppies? (Assuming you have some)

No. I only have cats.

That stinks about the Kinder Surprise. Those sound like a lot of fun. Maybe you could send the toys and chocolate separate? I remember we had something similar called the Wonder Ball. The disappeared very quickly. Now I know why.

Wow I can't believe we're already in March! It won't be long before we ship. I am planning on buying another couple of items on Friday for my partner. Hopefully they will arrive before the deadline. I need to start looking for extras though. There are very specifically theme extras I am looking for my partner and they are crazy hard to find! But I have a few stores I am wanting to check out to see if I can find anything.

[CottonTALE]

I'd rather not risk it... For one egg, that's 5 months worth of how much I pay for rent. I'll think of something else to send though

[rosierjay]

i don't think it's worth the risk. now it if were melon flavored fanta. i'd say risk it.

[Sarahlacewing]

Although technically if you unwrapped the kinder egg and rewrapped in like a Cadbury egg wrapper no one would know right? Or they are like different sizes?

[Tribble79]

that was my next question.
original color or a fun alternate color?
by the way. i'm horrible at styling hair. so if you like it curly partner... trust me. you don't want me doing it.

I would love a rehaired or hairless pony! If you decide to rehair, I would like it done however you think it would look best! Uncurly is fine

Anyone object to Easter themed items? Nothing religious, just some bunnies or eggs.

BB - opened or unopened are great! I'm not picky...

Bunnies, I love bunnies and eggs are find - nothing religious here unless you are going to send me something for Ostara (bunnies/eggs) instead of Easter!

Cadbury eggs are awesome!!! mmmm good

Home baked goods are great also. I do not like peanut butter cookies, but love chewy cookies of any other kind. Don't really have a favorite.

Our puppies would love healthy doggie biscuits. There are 5 of them....

Absolutely awesome teasers....

[tikibirds]

Easter Items? Yes - anything you would find in the walmart easter section would be fine

Easter Candy? Heck yes! CADBURRY EGGS CADBURRY EGGS CADBURRY EGGS - original. Also those orange flavored ball candy that you smack to break are nice too but I think they are out at X mas..they come in various flavors of chocolate

Wrapping? Don't really care - easter, B day, Xmas, brown paper bag...whatever. Of course, nicely wrapped things would be delightful too

Baked items? sure

Homemade Dog Biscuits? I'm Sure Mr Bubbles would love it..if not him then the Beagle. I do not claim ownership of her - annoying thing that she is

"Reporting for duty Captain Tikibirds, sir."  Man, I have been watching too much Star Trek lately . 

I do know you are a ma'am, but I believe in Star Trek, they also refer to female pfficers by sir too.  Just so you know I am not trying to be offensive.
