Lets have a trick or treat exchange. The goal here is to send distinctive regional and local items to other members around the world that would otherwise not be able to get them easily or at all. We all know Halloween time is one of the best times of the year for some seasonal treats. Other local Halloween customary related items are also more than welcome.
Try to send items that you know are not exported commonly. Avoid home made/unsealed or quickly perishable treats. Gags and other Halloween items are also more than welcome here. Please try to limit yourselves to a max $15 value. Do not enter if you can't be bothered to spend at least $2 on items and shipping to international recipients.

I will then start pairing people up after 15 October and let it run through 30 October.

It's more like a try your best to send something unique to your area. If that isn't applicable then just send a favorite.
I also added a new field for notes, like if you have anything important like food allergies you may want to resubmit.

Mines going overseas as well. Can't wait to send them out!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 17 October 2014, 10:44:49 »

Everyone should have received an email from me now with your exchange partners mailing address. Luckily I was able to match up everyone with someone from another country so this should be pretty nice chance to get things that may not be possible to have locally.

HoffmanMyster · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 17 October 2014, 10:56:59 »

Waaiiiit a minute. Was that signup sheet always there? Did I fill it out? I want to participate!

Yes the sign up form had been there since the thread was posted. You need to fill it in to participate. Sign up is open until the end of the month, so I can pair more off as we go from now.

dustinhxc · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 17 October 2014, 14:37:58 »

Woooo! So excited to pick stuff out! XD

HoffmanMyster · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 17 October 2014, 15:07:11 »

I was talking about candy exchange in another thread and esoomenona told me about the Halloween Exchange.

I know it's a little bit late from what I read on OP, but can I join?

I completed my form, I don't know if it went trough though. But if we actually miss the Exchange, you can be my partner if you want!

JackMills · « **Reply #34 on:** Sat, 18 October 2014, 06:41:04 »

Would be fine by me, but I don't know if Hoffmanmyster has been teamed up already. Let's wait for Ivan and see how it goes.

I'm late too, will ship this weekend hopefully.

College is destroying me.

JackMills · « **Reply #44 on:** Thu, 30 October 2014, 15:33:57 »

Mine has shipped, last entry on the tracking was "Item information registered manually" on the 27th, which translates into "Your item has been scanned in the bpost network. This means it is in our possession and should normally be delivered on the next business day.".
So I am very curious where it is at now, I like the tracking system parcel delivery uses nowadays, but I would love to see more detailed information, such as "Package on board flight SN4265" or " In warehouse B342, Utah".

Thank You Daniel, very much! Received a very heartfelt letter about his childhood favorite candies and here they are!
This was a super fun Exchange!

Just in time for Halloween! YAY!

Fun Fact, the small Turbo gum is like Bazooka Joe, although instead of Comic Strips it has Sexy Cars! I got an Audi Quattro.

The Eugenia Lemon was amazingggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!

Yey just in time, glad it made it

and happy you like the treats.

Photo doesn't work for me, but the good stuff was actually the chocolate/marzipan. Hope at least someone in you household liked that.

Did someone like the sour Haribo? It's very popular here, I wonder if Americans like it at all...
