Description:

It's always nice to get different treats from all over the world. I've always been curious as to what goodies bakeries from different parts of the world have to offer.

For this swap, fill a small bread paper bag with all sorts of bread-related items and items we find in a bakery or bakery-like items form your supermarket. You may send things like cookies, dried fruits, , seasonings, biscuits, brownies,jams, breads, gummies, etc. The requirements are:

  • Get a small bread paper bag,bakery box or brown bag at least 5 x 3 x 9.7 inches in size. (12.7 x 7.6 x 24.5 cms).
  • Fill it with goodies you can find in a bakery. They can be edible and/or non-edible items. (some stores sell magnets, keychains, recipe cards that have a "baked-goods" or bakery theme.)
  • Each edible must come in a sealed bag and all the items must fit inside the paper bag.
  • Spend $3 on the items. You're welcome to err on the side of generosity though.
  • Add a card telling them about the bakery or items you're sending.
  • Package your items appropriately. Glass items and fragile foods should be wrapped and boxed to prevent breakage. It's a good idea to use a plastic baggie for anything that can leak, melt, or tear open during shipping.
  • Please send items in their original, sealed packaging for health and customs reasons. Be sure to check expiration dates and only send in-date food items that will not expire before reaching your partner.
  • Send and rate on time. On the rare occasion that you may need to send a bit late, please contact your partner AND the swap coordinator before the swap deadline has passed.

Shall it be goodies that we buy from a bakery or can it be from a super market? I'm just saying cause bakery goods in Greece usually aren't individually wrapped and don't have a long life date as they are fresh and sending from GR would take about a week or two to get anywhere I wouldn't want my partner to get something stale. It's a great idea of a swap but I'd rather buy items that would be packaged and last a while similar to what one would get from a bakery .. I'm watching for now but it's just what crossed my mind when I saw this swap :)

Hi @athanasiasmile , I can't speak for @Tatsu , but I'm sure she'll post a response to your note. I plan to send bakery-like things that are purchased elsewhere. I'm in the United States, and our bakeries sound similar to yours. Items from my local bakeries would be soooo gross by the time they reached an international destination. :-)

Could people use a bakery box or a brown paper bag (like a lunch sack) if they don't have access to a bread bag?

Sure! The goodies can be from your supermarket too, as long as they are bakery-like items. I'll update the swap to include your concerns. ^^
