Also, I was advised by the study abroad people to make sure to say that something is used if it COULD HAVE been used at any given time (i.e. shirt, shoes). Make sure that you state that there are used, personal items. But please don't open up a bag of chips just to make it looked used...I don't think they will accept it (though it would be funny). Equally important: Either do NOT insure the package (unless it is something that needs to be insured e.g. computer, Ipod) OR insure the package for very little because I will have to pay a tax on the insurance and/or the customs people will delay its routing.
Hopefully that answers some/all the questions you may have. Just in case you are thinking about sending any surprises (No pressure: I'll be getting you a gift either way!), a few things that I have been missing (and are near to impossible to find in Athens!):
Peanut Butter (Creamy, of course)
Tostada Chips/Tortilla Chips
Canned Salsa
Canned Jalepenos
Dried or Canned Beans (preferably black)
Canned Hominy
Cinnamon Sticks
Jello
Wide-Rule Notebook Paper
Apparently, most Mexican-ish food items are native to North America, because they are ridiculously expensive and/or none existent. I have no idea the whole organization of shipping to the US, but I will find out soon because I'm probably going to want to ship some items before I get back. Sorry for the lack of pictures--the computers here refuse to recognize my camera, so I have to find a sneakier way to do it.
Give me some ideas about what you would like!
