Foodie PenPal: March

by Jocelyn on March 31, 2012

Hey guys!

Foodie penpal post alert!

The amazing Kyla  over at kitchenofky.blogspot.ca sent me the cutest package! And it was definitely suited towards my tastes :D

Let`s review shall we!

The cutest card! (tea!! love!) So sweet too..

The goodies!

Berries! (Polished these off!)

Big bag O gourmet popcorn – this was honestly to die for! So sad I can`t find it around here!

Have never tried this before! Saving it for this week when I need some healthy study snacks!

Delish bar of lindt choccie with chillis (Have been savouring it) It is different. I have never tried anything like this before and I have been enjoying it!

And the next two goodies I am ashamed to say I could not even wait to take a picture so these have been takin from google lol…

Cadbury mini eggs (love!)

Cadbury cream egg!!

And last…my personal favorite!

A dark chocolate bar with lavender and blueberries. Ohhhh my goodness. The blueberries… so rich, flavorful and chewy! And the lavender shined through the entire bar. It was such a unique taste.

Beautiful wrapping.. Loved this bar so much!

I wanna thank Kyla so much for all the amazing unique products that she sent me as well as some old favorites too! It was such a treat to take part in the foodie penpal program for March!

If you wanna check the program out just click on the button:

The Lean Green Bean

Also, some details…

-On the 5th of every month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.

-You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal!

-The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!

-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about flat rate boxes!)

-Foodie Penpals is open to blog readers as well as bloggers. If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you are to write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to worry about writing a post for that month.

-Foodie Penplas is open to US & Canadian residents. Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. We’ve determined things might get too slow and backed up if we’re trying to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and vice versa. So, I’m going to keep two separate lists and match US w/ US and Canada w/ Canada!

If you’re interested in participating for April, please CLICK HERE to fill out the participation form and read the terms and conditions.

You must submit your information by April 4th as pairings will be emailed on April 5th!

 

Also, check out Maddie`s blog to see what I sent her :)

It has been such a long day folks..I have been out from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm and that is why this post is going up a little late :)

Take care,
Have a great weekend!
