Need one more shopping trip to complete my box- all handmade items done, and a bunch of little gee-gags. Now for the serious quilting item/s and FQ. Been working on stuff and picking up things all year long! Hint: my santee lives South of me---so if you are South of the North Pole, you are in the running~~

I have a question, for all of you (hoping my SS will also answer). How do you feel about home-baked goodies, in your SS gift? Please be honest, as not everyone is comfortable about eating something, a stranger has sent.

The only problem I see with your talking about 2 packages and "1 of 2" and "2 of 2" is that now when someone gets 2 packages, they are pretty sure who their SS is, unless many people are sending 2 packages. As far as I am concerned, too many hints is taking some of the fun out of the surprise. Just my little opinion.
And home baked goodies....not a good idea in the package sent in Nov, since we don't open till Dec sometime. Last year I got cookies, and when I went to eat them they tasted rancid, had to throw them out. I think last year Terri suggested sending goodies in a separate package close to the opening day. Any other opinions on this????

Also, a diabetic probably would want to stay away from home-baked goodies, due to the sugar content.
The goodies, I have in mind, will last a pretty long time in a sealed container or freezer zip-loc bag.

Send them to me Neesie! I love sweets (unfortunately) and especially home baked goodies at Christmas!

Sorry I have been MIA again- I didn't even try to read back you Chatty Cathies !!!! LOL
You can send 1 f 2 and 2 of 2 - I have done that before and others have also I don't think it takes away from the surprise and is a good question to ask - I may send out one box and then realize I forgot to send something or wanted to add to the box - might happen more then we know since once the question is asked and answered others will do this
it is 4 fat quarters plus a gift of $20.00 and yes the gift can be all fabric if you want
As for home baked goodies - I have no problem with them in fact I encourage it since I don't do holiday baking LOL
Hope everyone is having fun down in the "rabbit hole " but not too much fun without me

Okay 10 days without a computer and only 190+ pages to read. I cannot remember how far I read before the computer died.
I got my name yippee.
She lives South of me.
She has pets too.
I do not know if she likes home baking. But if I was going to send some I would send closer to the opening date. I love to make candy at Christmas. But I also make wicked Butter Tarts. I have never tried to ship butter tarts before.
Now to stalk her to get some more ideas.
I have been shopping since the Spring for this. It is great to find super bargains and put them aside. I just need to round out the box and get something for her critters. Last year I made dog quilts for my recipient.
