Tea and cookies! International
Swap Coordinator:user3740 (contact)
Swap categories: Food 
Number of people in swap:32

Last day to signup/drop:March 16, 2007

Number of swap partners:1
Description:

In this swap you will send your partner a package of cookies and some tea. That's it.

The cookies can be homemade if sending within your own country, otherwise it is best to send store bought cookies sealed in the original package.

The tea must contain at least 10 bags. It can be one kind or a combination of different teas. A package of coffee or powdered coffee drinks may be substituted if requested below. Try to remember that decaf is not readily available in all countries so if that is an absolute or health requirement for you, you may wish to stick with tea.

Please list allergies/health considerations below.

Try not to be too picky, like don't say something like "I only eat cookies baked in stone ovens sweetened with fruit juice and made with soy milk baked on Thursdays" or "Please only send Brand X tea." Obviously if you have legitimate health considerations please list them, but don't be so picky with personal taste issues that people are afraid to sign up (I drop out of loads of food swaps 'cause I'm scared I might get someone who has written a very detailed list of requirements that are not health related.. it feels like I'm just running an errand for them instead of finding some neat stuff for them on my own).

Posts like "I'd rather not have chocolate chip" are okay because they leave plenty of other options for your partner. Posts like "Only peanut butter cookies for me" -may- be removed.

This swap is international. Swappers with a rating of 4.0 and higher along with newbies are welcome.

YUM! Cookies and tea!

I love tea and coffee! It doesn't matter to me! Whatever my partner wants to send! I am not picky with my cookies either! I got four kids and a hubby, so if I don't like what my partner sent, there will be someone in my house who does! Send whatever you want!

user3740 02/16/2007 #

That's the spirit!

I too will be happy with whatever I get. :)

TerryF 02/16/2007 #

Anything at all is fine with me (I live with Locust Man!). Thx.

Baglady 02/16/2007 #

I love all cookies, (my body shows it too!) LOL and I love all teas so whatever someone sends is fine. I am really looking forward to this swap. It sounds like fun!

shopinc 02/16/2007 #

I'd prefer coffee to tea, but send whatever you want! (: I'll be glad to try out something new.

funkykchicken 02/16/2007 #

I love Tea but would prefer no green tea please.I love all cookies and raspberry is my favorite flavor.I'm open to anything but please no meat types if your International.Hope i didn't sound to picky.

user3740 02/16/2007 #

Not too picky at all funky. :) No green tea and raspberry cookies if possible is completely doable. As is the no meat wish. You were cordial and not demanding and you won't freak out if you don't get raspberry cookies. The ones that bug me are the swappers that make it sound like their world will fall apart if they don't get very specific items. :)

I love cookies!

user5729 02/16/2007 #

Hi I just signed up for this. Yes,When you read my profile you will see I am a diabetic so sugar free would be best and not tons of either kind of cookies. lol. Regular is ok as i have a roomie to share with. I am not going to freak over homemade with sugar. In fact I will think I have gone to heaven.And plan for a little splurge !!!!! I love all teas, green white herbal-- black reg is a tad boring though. We drink those sugar free tea packets too that lipton makes for your water bottle and we drink a fair amount of coffees here at home. If this is reasonable i would love to do this swap lizardplum chri

funkykchicken 02/17/2007 #

Try purchasing for a vegetarian.

funkykchicken 02/17/2007 #

I thought i should add i donot mean any disrespect to vegetarians.I mean that where i live it's nearly impossible to find items.

ktsmurf 02/17/2007 #

I'd much prefer tea over coffee as coffee gives me migraines, but any form of tea is lovely. White, green, black, red, herbal, decaf or not, I drink it all.

As to the cookies, I don't have any allergies, but I am vegetarian, so I'd prefer nothing with meat or gelatin. I like pretty much all fruit flavors, chocolate, nuts, and so on. Homemade cookies would be awesome too!

Hope this is helpful without being fussy.

Fanfreak 02/17/2007 #

Yay! I love tea and cookies! I'm in! :)

funkykchicken 02/17/2007 #

ktsmurf:Just in case you are my swap partner(my last swap partner is vegetarian as well)would you be willing to send me a list of cookies you like.The reason i ask is that i had to order special items for her.I really do live in a place that is not vegetarian friendly.

I ask because most commercial brand name cookies are made with dairy and/or eggs, and in some cases include such ingredients as beef tallow and lard.So i will have a hard time finding suitable cookies without a list.

Thanks

Joyce

ktsmurf 02/18/2007 #

I'd be happy to send my partner a list if they'd like, but I'm not bothered by cookies with eggs or dairy. I tend to make my own without them, but its just too hard to get them in most stores.

But in short, yes, I'll happily help out anyone who receives me as a partner.

user5729 02/18/2007 #

Where i live in southern calif ..getting veg. cookies should be easy enough. However it would be helpful to know if you eat cookies with dairy/eggs as some do and some dont

maozed 02/21/2007 #

Is there a size requirement on the package of cookies? I.e., does it have to be a big box of 12+ cookies or one of those little packages of 2-4 cookies? I don\'t want to rip anyone off if we\'re all planning to send the big packages, but the smaller packages would be cheaper to ship.

marnel 02/21/2007 #

Count me in...

I like every cookie on the planet, tea, coffee...all of it.

user3740 02/22/2007 #

maozed-

I will be sending a regular-size bag/box of cookies, like the 12+ size. I kind of envision this swap as what you would have if you had a couple of friends over for tea. Of course, I can eat a whole bag of cookies myself, but I\'m going by normal eaters standards. :)

I\'m glad so many people are interested. Mmm, cookies!

Lunaria 02/25/2007 #

Tea + cookies = heaven! Great swap!

lamazon 03/ 1/2007 #

Tip :If you have to send a package to Europe please wright the 7 with an extra line in the middle . Offently postmen take the overseas 7 for a 1 !

Little question : If possible can you put real stamps on the packages ? Not those ugly white postoffice things :o))) I know many stamp collectors overhere and real stamps are very rarely this days .

THANK YOU VERRRRRRRRRY MUCH

YS 03/ 3/2007 #

Tea and cookies are great combination =)

sheswaps 03/ 4/2007 #

My only request is no peanuts or peanut butter due to allergies. I love any kind of tea, coffee, hot chocolate.... any drink and any other kind of cookie!

sheswaps 03/ 4/2007 #

Ooops... computer malfunction. Sorry about the multiple comments. cpfaves - would you please delete 2 of the 3 comments? Thanks

Anniehall 03/ 4/2007 #

Hello everybody. It sounds terrific! It's a nice idea. I'm in. I really like cookies and tea. I'd like chocolate cookies but you also can surprise me! I love tea/coffee... I'd like to know different kinds or flavours of it. Best regards.

jannikinz 03/ 4/2007 #

No allergies to anything...surprise me.

jannikinz 03/ 4/2007 #

mediatinker 03/ 5/2007 #

Cookies! Tea! I love everything, so I'm excited to see what my partner sends. Her favorites, I hope.

foodfreak 03/ 8/2007 #

no hazelnuts please (allergy)

user6787 03/ 8/2007 #

I would be happy with anything as well. No allergies. Coffee and/or any tea is fine. Different small or one bag of the same cookie is also great. I am really not picky!

I would also like to point out that here in the States is Girl Scout cookie season!! Love it!!!

summerivy 03/ 9/2007 #

OH WOW great idea.. I love coffee more then tea but I also like tea.. so maybe some of both or just tea or just Coffee is great with me... I love chocolate cookies but then again I LOVE ALL COOKIES LOL.. So I am not picky.. I love it all.. Just wanted to state what I love most, But I will love anything I get!!

HUGS DIANA

welovepandas 03/11/2007 #

I love all tea and all cookies so I'm loving this swap idea!! I am a vegetarian though (so please no meat or gelatin), eggs and butter are fine.

mommyshawna 03/11/2007 #

I can't wait to share my very favorite tea with whomever I get! I'm very easy to please, so have fun!

sara0811 03/13/2007 #

Anything is fine for me, but no homemade cookies since mail seems to take way too long getting here and I'd worry about how fresh they were. Thank you.

mnsqb 03/13/2007 #

I love tea and cookies but due to allergies need to avoid citric acid. Also please don't send coffee as it doesn't agree with me. Am looking forward to this. Sounds yummy!!!

Aerochik 03/14/2007 #

I love tea (nothing licorice flavored tho) and cookies, that's the ticket!!! I love all cookied but favs have to be something like a lemony shortbread. BUT like I said I love all kinds. AND I have 5 kids that will share them if I don't!!! Thanks

Jox 03/15/2007 #

Suprise me, I'll try anything once! This is definetly my kind of swap as I can't eat a biscuit(sorry, cookie) without dipping it into a cup of tea or coffee. Jox

user6220 03/17/2007 #

I'm not picky, I like it all... Surprise me!!

marnel 03/19/2007 #

Petra...your cookies and tea are on their way to Hamburg from Olympia, Wa. Hope you like 'em.

jannikinz 03/19/2007 #

Hi Sara, hopefully your yummy package will arrive soon. It was posted today via air mail from Melbourne.Aust.

lamazon 03/20/2007 #

Ppfaves did you see it : a profile has been deleted !!!! I think its the one from handmadehearts . Perhaps the person who was assingned to her can send her package to the person handmadehearts had to send a package . Other wise somebody is going to be dissapointed . She aks not to send to her she wont give bad rates !

welovepandas 03/21/2007 #

I sent my tea and cookies today and the postlady asked me weather I was permitted to send cookies to the U.S. You'd think she'd know! I really hope they get there ok fingers crossed.

user5486 03/22/2007 #

Hi everyone, I was handmade hearts partner. I was supposed to send to her but she has deleted her profile. She ask not to send to her. I have contacted CPfaves twice but she has not contacted me as to who handmade hearts partner was. I really want to send to her partner. If I have not heard from the coordinator by the time ratings go up, could handmade hearts partner please please contact me, so that I may send them a yummie package. It is not fair for me to recieve and not to send!

Love, Kimmie

marnel 03/22/2007 #

I received a lovely package today from Baglady. Thank you so much! I will be sharing your generous swap with the ladies in my quilt guild tonight.

Thanks again!

sara0811 03/24/2007 #

Amanda, I just put your package in the mail. I expect you will receive it at the end of next week. I hope you like it!

user3740 03/25/2007 #

Hi all-

The deleted swapper issue has been resolved. I was MIA for a while due to some pretty heavy personal issues, but the deleted swapper thing is taken care of now.

Thank you for your patience with me!

Jox 03/30/2007 #

I sent my parcel to Australia on 27th and was told it would take 7-10 working days. Hope it gets there, I was a bit nervous about sending to Australia but I chose carefully. I am going away for 2 weeks so if you are sending a little package to me I'll be in touch as soon as I get back. (I will be loggin on but I won't know if my package has arrived). have fun Jox

I was not even given the chance to resend this swap before she gave me a one and made my score go way down.. I am very sad about this...
