vegan care package – Naturally Lindsay

Care Package Swap

August 18, 2010 by Lindsay Ingalls 31 Comments

It’s time to do another Care Package swap! Last year around this time I organized a swap and it went over really well. I am hoping that this year will bring on an even better turn out. This swap gives participants a chance to connect with other bloggers as well as try a number of new items. The care package that you create can be filled with homemade or store bought items and can include any items you like such as food, clothes, health living items, ect.

So, if you are a blogger and are interested please comment here and send me a note to Lindsay (at) cookingforaveganlover dot com with the e-mail address that you would like to be contacted at as well as the following information:

Name
Location
blog URL
whether you will ship internationally or not
Would you like to receive only vegan, vegetarian or do you have no preference (including non-veg items)

Please do not send me your address. I will match people together, give each other your e-mail addresses and then you can go on to exchange mailing addresses.

Please expect to spend around $25 on goods, if you would like to spend more than do so, however, do not be disappointed if your partner does not do the same. Also you do not have to be vegan to participate in this swap however you do need to have a blog and unless paired with another non-vegan you will be expected to only include vegan items in your care package.

Please enter to participate by August 22, 2010. I will match people up and let them know their pairs by August 24, 2010. You will have one month to gather your items and mail them out- so all packages should be mailed by September 24, 2010. Once you receive your package please photograph the contents and make a post to your blog detailing what is in your package, link to your partners blog and a link to this posting.

*Disclaimer: Please remember that this swap is based on trust and only for those who are serious about participating and will follow through.

Vegan Care Package Giveaway

November 14, 2009 by Lindsay Ingalls 2 Comments

As many of you know I have hosted a Vegan Care Package Giveaway just as I did last year. I am so excited that this year I was able to have over 20 participants and one of them was Nora from Pride & Vegudice, my exchange partner. I was lucky enough to receive a variety of wonderful items many that I have never tried which is the best part about these giveaways.

Included in the Exchange was a variety of different teas, a Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Blueberry bar, Reed’s Ginger Snacks (which I hate a bunch of to help my upset tumtum the other day), chocolate cocoa nibs, sprinkles, an Honest Foods bar – choco peanut butter and Chocolada Almond oatmeal as well as the items featured below:

Chreesy Mashed Potatoes with yummy (Vermont made) Road’s End Chreese. I love this stuff but never buy it so it’s a wonderful treat to have….makes me want to go buy some Road’s End Mac & Cheese yum.

How amazingly fun and I am so excited to eat it. I haven’t had maple cotton candy in years so this will be a yummy treat.

Chocolate Peanutbutter from Whole Foods- my husbands eyes light up when he saw this.

Chocolate Cream Wafters? Holy can’t wait to eat these up!

I love everything in this exchange it was wonderful. The best part of this is that many of the items I have never tried or never buy which is a great part of these exchanges. My husband and I loved the Chocolada Almond oatmeal and it was so good and I can’t wait to buy myself some more. I am really looking forward to seeing what other participants receive. Now I must be off to try some of this yummy looking cotton candy.
