What are some (lightweight) "Cincinnati" gifts to send to a friend overseas?
One of my good friends moved to New Zealand, and talking to her the other night, I can hear how much she misses her friends and family. I would like to send her a mini "I miss you" gift, but I was a little shocked how much postage would be to send to New Zealand.
Nonetheless, I'd still like to send her a mini care package- can you recommend some light items that are still "Cincinnati"-esque or even some "I miss you!" gifts (keeping in mind it will take some time for the package to be delivered to her?
Some ideas I had are:
- Caribbean Jerk marinade (not cincy-esque but she loves this marinade)
- Milk & Honey granola (not a cincy-esque item but I introduced her to this, and we're both hooked)
- Skyline Chili packets (I can't find these anywhere!)
- Gossip magazines
Re: What are some (lightweight) "Cincinnati" gifts to send to a friend overseas?
They don't make Skyline brand chili packets, only cans and frozen. For packets, I prefer the blue packages of Cincinnati Style Chili mixes. Gold Star is just okay to me but good in a fix.
Some more ideas...

I think you should go with Christine's idea but send a few key ingredients and recipe cards and maybe make them yourself and take a picture of them so she can see what they should look like (if she's not a big cook and I know you are).
You are so sweet to do this for your friend!
