Thanks! When do you send the teaser? As soon as you get your SB? I'm so bad with secrets I think I'll have to get mine out soon after I get my SB. LOL

Sometimes a SB will send a "teaser" to their SB. The last GE was my first, and I got a "teaser" it was some treats that SugarMamma brought to me (she was coming to dinner) from my SB.
Someone who traveled sent their SB a postcard from each of the states she visited, keeping her SB guessing as to who their SB could be.
Sometimes someone will buy a "teaser" from one of the vendors and have the vendor send it to the SB, so the SB hs no idea where it came from.

It is a lot of fun. But, you don't have to send out teasers. But I think I might this time, when I know who my SB is.

My daughter in Orlando finds British foods at a Walmart near her, so she sometimes brings me Weetabix and some other items. the commissary here at PAFB carries some English foods and we have a British food store in Melbourne - as well as an Irish one

I'm pretty sure Kinder eggs are not allowed in the US because of the toy inside the candy.

think i have to go to Cost Plus this weekend.

That's right, the USA has banned Kinder eggs.

CBP Reminder: Kinder Eggs are Banned from Import - CBP.gov

Quick question:
Is there any foods I cannot ship to the US or Canada?
As there are a few of you who would like Cadbury products or other things which arnt available to you.
Poppy may send you a surprise if she is your SB but she dosnt want to get told off by the post man!

We can't get beef Oxo cubes or the regular Atora suet here.
I think most Cadbury chocolate products are available at the British food stores, and there are several online.

Of course if I am your SB, I would kill for a babycham (Brandy and Babycham was my favourite drink) I haven't found the Babycham over here - yet. May have to do some googling

I will keep that in mind... of course I wont be doing the shopping Poppy will be doing it all by herself and you never know she may get you some.
I remembered you asking about the Atora and I asked my mum about it I just totally forgot to tell you! (think the GE is taking up all space in my brain at the moment.)
She said she cant compare because she has never used Atora 'light'.
Is the regular Atora allowed in the US or not??

I asked one of the British stores online about the regular Atora and they said they weren't allowed to import it as it is beef suet - same with the beef Oxo cubes (think it all goes back to the mad cow disease outbreak)
So, all we can get here is the Atora "light", so haven't bought any.

Ah I see.. well we cant blame them for not wanting our mad cows hehe

I'm pretty sure I have seen the beef (what color are they?) I know you can't get the lamb but thanks to Beamersmom I now have some



I just looked. They are red and I HAVE seen them I'm sure. I'll pick you up some when I run into them again
