Suggestions?

[skkyechan]

Mom's (understandably) having a hard time with Dad being gone... and I'm having a hard time being so far away! So, even though I'm flying out for Brea's wedding next week, I've gotten the urge to send Mom a care package... Problem is, I'd love to fill it with neat things from this area that will help comfort, calm (because both she and my sister are just about worn to a frazzle with her wedding preparations!), and indulge, but I don't really know where to find anything!

So-- enter you guys! Any recommendations for neat things from local places (that travel well!), or perhaps just suggestions in what to generally send in the care package?

A bottle of Virginia wine. Lots of us can help you out with that.

A framed picture of you and Patrick in front of some ubiquitous DC monument.

A stuffed panda, and the link to the Zoo's website (OMGCUTE!!)

An Eddie From Ohio CD. I can burn you a couple of copies, if you like.

I can think of more, really...

Old Bay seasoning.

Is there something you two used to do together? Like make a particular kind of cookie or something? You could mail her a batch of cookies, or just a ziploc with the dry ingredients, so it's like you're baking together.

Hmm.. I'm not from the area but.. :) I'd make a scrap book of local postcards. With an area to check off if you've been there/if she's been there/if Brea has been there, etc. :)

that or see if one of the local fudge factory type places do long distance delivery. :)
