US Care Package Ideas

Hey Reddit! Last summer, my husband and I connected with some Australians during our travels, and we’re excited to exchange care packages. What are some American goodies that are hard to find in Australia, or items you would love to receive if someone could send you a package?

Best wishes from two folks in Kentucky!

Dad returned a puppy to a dude on gumtree and, despite the sellers’ objections, said he’d rather them with mum than at a shelter. Dumped it with his littermates and drove off. Did he do the right thing? But boy I’d pissed off if I were the seller, because he needs them gone in order to move.
