7.) 1 small sweet or other edible that is traditional for your country and difficult to get in another country (chocolate, cookie, snack, candies....)
(Small size is OK, but it should at least -alone or together- weight around 30grams/1oz, must be factory sealed and not out of date until 11/14)

8.) 2 storbought souvenir items
(=items that show either your country´s/area´s/town´s name, landscape, sights, buildings, artwork or a famous person of your country.)
EXAMPLES: fridge magnet, keyring, teatowel, pen, non-paper bookmark, pouch, tote bag, pill box, costumary jewlery....
Do NOT send: postcards, free items, single papersheets, paper bookmark.
If your souvenirs show anything there´s something to tell about (f.e. a famous sight), pls include a note explaining.

9.) 2 wrapped storebought gifts
The gift can be small, but pls don´t send loose lettersheets, teabags, loose stickers, tape samples and things like that. However, you can send a letterpad, a box of tea, a roll of tape a.s.o. Hope you get the idea :).
Spend at least 1€ / 1,3 USD per gift.
It´s sender´s choice, but don´t send anything that´s on your partner´s dislike list.

Nr 1-8 is fully sender´s choice, however, as always I recommend to pay attention to your partner´s profile. Make your notes interesting and use nice stationery, or decorate boring stationery ;).

AT LAST:

Decorate the envelope/box you use for sending with the focus on your country/area/town.
You can paint, draw, use rubberstamps, pictures, ..... You don´t need to be an artist, however pls put some effort and make your partner smile, before he even opens the envelope :). I personal like to use cutouts from leaflets and magazines to decorate, as I am not artistic.
If it is possible in your country, it would be nice to use real postage stamps, but it is not required.
