Cinnamon Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I have just discovered FOODIE PENPALS, where once a month you send something home made or wonderful or local to you to a penpal & another penpal send you something back. All gifts must be under £10 & home made is encouraged.......your penpal can be from anywhere in the world! I think it sounds like great fun & have signed myself up....will let you know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylvisMum Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Yes, do. That sounds great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It sounds like fun! - it would have to be under £5 for me at the moment......I'll see how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I heard about this a while back but thought it was a US/Canada thing only. Be very interested in how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 That sounds SUCH a lovely idea! I am interested to know,however, where customs stand on food being sent as I know some countries get a bit edgy about 'importing' food - Mother got stopped at customs going into the USA as she had an apple in her handbag that she was given on the plane. Being the militant lady that she is (its in the genes !!) rather than give it up she stood in customs munching it for 5 mins! Please let us know how this goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Are you actually sending food though or foodie gifts - as in..piping bags, cookie cutters, recipe books, bakeware, pinnys etc? I would love to know how you get on, it sounds brill! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Interesting to see what people send but I'm not sure i like the idea. How do you know what a person puts in it or their hygiene standards? Sorry I should apologise for the cynic in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
