site we’re psyched about: bringsome.com
We know from this post — What Off Beat Food Craving Are You Dying to Satisfy? — that you have some pretty far-flung tastes, being the world travelers that you are! Now there’s a site that help you get your hands on the internationals goodies you’re desiring — without spending a ton of dough on airfare! It’s called bringsome.com, and it’s a sort of Craigslist for international types. If you’ve got a hankering for something you tasted in a far way land, post an ad on this site and see if someone is willing to “bring some” back for you. Likewise, if you’re going overseas, post an ad here if you are willing to bring something back. Carriers can charge a fee for their troubles, usually about 5%. But, to scratch those taste bud itches, isn’t it worth it? Check it out at bringsome.com (via StyleWatch magazine).

This is both potentially very good news and something to fear… I have been counting on the fact that I cannot easily access British cream filled cookies to keep me from having to buy bigger pants and this could really blow the whole thing.

This is amazing. Thanks for the tip… I am dangerously close to ordering up half of Umbria. I miss the olive oil the most.

What I’d really like are Bounty ice cream pops from the Caribbean. They’re coconut ice cream and passionfruit sorbet together. However, I think they’d melt before the bringsome person got them to New York.
(They’re not the same thing as the Bounty ice cream that’s from the Bounty candy bar.)
