Last time I came to PAX, I brought some chocolate with me for a variety of people. I'm really happy to do so again, but this time will be better organised about the delivery of it - some people missed out cos I couldn't find them, and I ended up giving the spare chocolate to the enforcers, who so deserved it!
So, if you'd like some scrummy English chocolate, here's your chance. Let me know what you'd like, and if I can fit it in my bag, I'll bring it with me. However, you will need to pick it up on the Friday morning - I will pick a place to stand for a while to distribute it all, then if you've not collected it, I'll give it away to someone else!
I'm on twitter as
@LewiePsMummy, and I'll announce where I will stand both here when I've decided and on twitter when I get to PAX on the Friday morning. If you want to give me money for chocolate, that's a bonus, and it will go to Child's Play. If any fellow Brits want to join me doing this, let me know.

Careful about Kinder Surprise. They are contraband in the United States and they will be confiscated.
Man peet I thought you were pulling my leg or some sort of thing like you were going to confiscate them all
But I just googled it and no kidding, they really are banned here, on account of "a non-nutritive object embedded inside"
What silly geese
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
HOLY COW. No wonder I can't find them anywhere here. Someone from my Redditgifts Secret Santa sent me one and it was the loudest squeeeeeee ever.
CURLY WURLYS, pretty please! Will gladly donate to CP for your troubles =D
The last time I tried to bring something into the country for you, US Customs grabbed my wand. After looking at the wood, and considering how much I had polished my wood, they said that it might have a parasite. They stuck it in a quarantine bag, and I never saw it again
I don't want a repeat of that incident!!!
I HATE YOU, U.S. CUSTOMS.
But I you, @MelesMeles.

I've had them shipped to me several times by overseas friends with nary a concern...
I've been over here two years now, and I still haven't tried a Kinder Surprise...probably about time I fixed that.

previous experience dictates crunchies, flakes and drifters being most popular (flakes being a bit of a nightmare to transport however )
Oh and I ain't doing the kinder eggs either, I'm way to old to get arrested for smuggling toys lol
I live very close to this shop, which is amazing: http://www.choco-latte.co.uk/
It has a list of items on the site as well as prices. I was intending on bringing them across and selling them at cost, giving all money to Child's Play as a donation, but I don't know how that fits in with what LPM is doing? =]
I wish I could safely transport one of their cakes over. Those things are frickin' delicious.
Sounds a good plan! I'll be distributing mine on the Friday morning!

We're sort of planning our holiday now and I think we'll be travelling down from Vancouver on the Thursday, where it would be excellent if we could meet up that evening and pass things onto you to be able to distribute. =]

I never finish anyth
Heh, I was thinking about that. @LewieP's Mummy can probably just change this to the international food exchange thread
I'm on twitter as @LewiePsMummy, so I'll let people know both here and on Twitter when and where - I'll need to look at the schedule first.
I've heard about the international food exchange - that's new since I was last at PAX - I'm really happy to join in with that as well, this chocolate bringing is just what I've done in the past to raise some more money for Child's Play.

Kinder Surprises are not allowed to be brought into the U.S.A. at least from Canada as they are illegal in the US
Yeah, we've been over that :P In fact it was mentioned in the very next post under the one you quoted...
