Gimme Your Stuff- please? I'll give you mine!

So, I found this cool blog exchangy thing, and I thought "Hey, awesome!".
First, what I've got to offer:
I live near Washington DC, so I'm pretty versatile. There are a lot of shops near me. I'm willing to send books, candy, food and music. If you've lived in the US or are a US Expat in need of a fix from home, I'll try my best to help you out! :D I've lived abroad, so I know the awful feeling of say, not being able to find peanut butter, or macaroni and cheese. Or a book in English. I'd rather you gave me specific requests, but if you let me have my own way, be prepared for a random assortment of stuff within given parameters.

Second, What I'd like:
From the UK- Thorton's Toffee, Biggles books, nearly any other sweets you care to mention (excluding stuff that's packed with artificial colouring). Asterix books. Map of Kent.

From Germany- 'Easy reading' children's books, photos of landscapes, sweets. Maps.

From Hungary- Sweets and fruit-tea! Detailed maps of Budapest and Szeged.

I know I'll think of more things later...

Wonder of Wonders

Miracle of miracles! I passed the DLAB! W00t! I'm going to bask in my own coolness for one heady, self-conceited moment- and move on. Now. I'm serious.
So it's over with. It's a story worth repeating, and maybe when I get a longer moment to spare, I'll detail it all here. But right now, I'm seriously procrastinating on an early morning grocery run. Don't wanna, but I gotta.
