Foodie Penpals March | What I sent





Hey guys!

 

I'm uber excited this month as I've joined the Foodie Pen Pals! - If you read my blog you'll know I'm food obsessive, and try and post recipes as often as possible. But recently I stumbled across the #foodiepenpals tag on twitter and fell in love with the concept.

 

Basically, you sign up, and each month you receive a match. Your match could be from anywhere in the world and you have a £10 budget (not including postage) to buy some yummy treats for your Pen Pal. Each month you are paired with somebody different so don't worry, your postage won't be extortionate. (besides, if you're worried, just buy flumps!)

 

This month I will be sending to the lovely Stacey from Nobody said it was easy and receiving from the equally as lovely Lizzie who was kind enough to email me asking for my preferences to tailor my box to my tastes!

 

So, here is a little peek of what I sent to Stacey this month:

 

 

 

* The English Provender co. Moroccan Spiced Chutney
* Salty Dog Chilli peanuts
* Fudge cheddar wafers
* Cupcake cases & sugar flower decorations
* Lindt Chocolate bunny
* Cadburys Caramel chocolate egg

With it being my first ever month, I wasn't exactly sure what type of packaging I should use, and seems as its my first time, I thought I would treat my Pen Pal to a gorgeous vintage style box (Which actually only cost me £1.50)

I themed the contents loosely around Easter, with cute little chicks and some Easter sweets. Along with baking bits & bobs and some spicy nibbles.

Stacey mentioned she was a fan of spice and exotic flavours so the chutney looked perfect, and the little crackers/wafers look like they might be a nice pairing. She also mentioned she was more of a baker than a cook so I bought a few cute sugar flowers and some cupcake cases.
The peanuts were again following Stacey's love of spice & as my box was decorated up for Easter I decided to throw in a few Easter chocolates too.
- I Really hope she likes her box!
