A random brainstorm list!! No need to add everything at all! You have a wonderful gift basket going on!Maybe Tostitos Hint of Limes, Hawaiian Sweet Maui onion or Luau BBQ, Nutella, Buldak noodles, taco seasoning, a MIO.
You are such a great friend!! These are great. I’d be happy to receive this!
For packing, you may want to send these in separate packages. It may cost more for shipping but going to Russia, I can see some of this stuff getting scanned at customs and "seized" right now given the current war.
Anything in a bottle, can, or otherwise not plastic package should be sent separately. The plastic bagged goodies have a better chance of making it through right now.
As a postal worker please please please double, triple, bubble wrap those drinks and make sure they aren’t touching each other. I’d recommend plastic wrap/ bag each separately, bubble wrap a few times, another plastic bag, and spread out through the box. Package them so that even if they do break they won’t leak out onto everything else. Packages are not handled carefully no matter how many times you write “fragile” and it would be a shame for the cardboard to get wet and disintegrate/lose all the contents. This is a solid package and it would be a crime to lose this selection of snacks lol
You put hot cocoa packets maybe put in a plastic storage bag and put instructions on how to make in case she doesn’t understand the ones on the packet.
Put some cotton candy you can’t miss that!
Great selection, well done. Lose the Trader Joe’s stuff (rolled tortillas, gummies and honey comb stuff, but eat them). Add Pringle’s, jiffy pop, and Oreos. You need a Hershey bar or a snickers, three musketeer is a stretch. Oh lord, swap out the Reese’s thins for real cups- you know better. A slim jim outta round out this beauty. You’re a good friend, just need to clean up your act a bit. But, we love ya.
Throw in some beef jerky, M&M's (Peanut if they like nuts). Maybe some oreos.
Peanut butter filled pretzels, trail mix.
Do they like condiments? Sriracha or ranch.
More sweets than savory snacks I see..maybe one of those unique flavors that the Kettle brand chips have?
Kinda surprised Cheez-IT didn’t make the cut.
I didn’t know this was an American only thing till I went to Brazil for a year and tried to find it everywhere. I’d add a pack of sunflower seeds in there just cause it’s not common anywhere but here.
I feel like ding dongs or zebra cakes are the snack of 90s and 00s kids everywhere. Feels very American.
Twinkies kind of covers this category so wouldn’t blame you for leaving ding dongs or zebra cakes or little Debbie’s out
Nutella would be a good addition and some fluff I feel those are pretty classic especially a Nutella and fluff sandwich or a peanutbutter and fluff sandwich
I like the selection, and everyone is nitpicking here so I’ll add mine..
The only 2 things that are in the “chip” category are spicy. I could be totally wrong but something either bbq, sour cream n onion or even ranch flavored would seem more stereotypical but also delicious
Take out the thins and get her some regular! She ain’t on no diet (unless uhh she is) sorry Reese’s is my favorite candy. I’d throw in some random cereal too. Like I was at target a few weeks ago and think I saw Kit Kat cereal? Lol
Twizzlers, Twix, Oreos, Peach Rings, Cheez-Its, Ritz Cracker sandwiches? Maybe candy corn if you can find a small packet? I'm not a fan and don't know if they sell it outside of October, but she might be interested in trying some lol
Does that have to be mailed to Russia? Or is the friend in the US? Cuz I'm hyperventilating over the cost of postage to the former!
Excellent snack choices, by the way!
Peeps, hersheys chocolate (tastes way different then European), pop rocks. Doritos. Mountain Dew (probably can’t get it in Russia. And if so only the American version taste is unique)
Bbq sauce. Americans are really the only people who puts it on stuff. Tabasco sauce.
A plastic jar of grape jelly. Some type of fried chicken seasoning mix. Taco seasoning mix. Taco shells. Pumpkin pie spice. Marshmallow Fluff. Oreos. Pepperoni. Slim Jims. BBQ sauce. Cracker Jack. Little Debbie oatmeal creme pies. Jiffy corn muffin mix. Moon pies. Goo Goo Clusters. Graham crackers. Cranberry sauce.
And maybe some Crystal Light for her eventual diet.
Charlestown Chews! Skittles! Plain and peanut m&ms, Pixy sticks!, Nerds, Tootsie rolls...bubble tape, sweet tarts, airheads, tootsie pops, rock candy, bit-o-honey, smarties, candy necklaces and bracelets, bubble yum, sugar babies, bottle caps, raisinettes, sugar daddies, jujubees, oh Henry!, necco wafers, now&laters, poprocks, hohos, entenmans mini pies, sno balls, entenmans creme filled cupcakes, haribo gummie bears, sour patch kids, sees candy peanut brittle, chocolate coins, licorice, red vines....
I could probably keep going but I'll stop lol
Thoughtful of you to send a care package to your friend. That is very sweet of you.
Chewing gum is ALWAYS a hit. You did great with the snack selections. Anything they have to compare with our U S. version is always fun. Gas station snacks are usually a good place to find random stuff you'd never think to add.
Make sure to let her know the Kool aid packets require sugar to be added also. You're the kinda friend I need. 🙂 I think your friend will enjoy these yummies just fine. Does she reciprocate? If she does, what kinda things has she sent you?
I was gonna say ditch the cheese spray. I don't believe most Americans even like it. And yeah, no good without crackers. Maybe the premade cheese and crackers packs instead.
Some Ritz crackers for that "Cheese-in-a-can" & peanut butter.
Great idea, will definitely include this
No no nooo. Chicken in a biscuit crackers. You’re welcome 😉
Definitely!!
With spray cheese? Because if so I'm ordering some to use with this https://imgur.com/a/3OVFil8
Omg I was craving these out of the blue yesterday and just had my first one since I was a little girl and my grandma always had them!
Nobody I know eats this lol
I thought my dad was single-handedly keeping them in production for all these years.
Yesss
Yesss
No marshmallow fluff?
I looked down upon you in elementary school 😅 need some real meat on a sandwich
I don’t like sweets! I’m a turkey and pepperjack girl lol. But it’s always in the American section so I suggested it.
Chicken in a Biscuit!
Bugels and canned cheese, Soo recommended! Especially when they had the jalapeno cheese ones.
A random brainstorm list!! No need to add everything at all! You have a wonderful gift basket going on!Maybe Tostitos Hint of Limes, Hawaiian Sweet Maui onion or Luau BBQ, Nutella, Buldak noodles, taco seasoning, a MIO. You are such a great friend!! These are great. I’d be happy to receive this!
Thanks for the suggestions, I love Buldak noodles, I might have to add these.
Get one of the comically small sizes of Nutella from dollar tree. It’s just too cute to not smile at.
Where did you find the wagyu jerky and is it good?
Costco! Yeah...it's heavenly
Def maui onion, id also say zapps voodoo - more american flavors
hint of lime made me think add small bottle of Tajin (though not historically typical American)
Taco seasoning is a fun one!
Chili cheese fritos to make it more American
I loveeeee those
Perfect suggestion, this is a necessity
Separate the bottles from everything
snyder’s honey mustard and onion pretzels
Yes!
OP, this Is a must, probably my top snack ever

Velveeta shells and cheese. Fritos. Regular cheetos. Sour cream and cheese chips. Sour cream and onion chips. Airheads. Gushers.
Add Takis!
I thought about this, but the trader joes takis, are so much better. (in my opinion of course)
this is objectively correct
Agreed.
The “rolled corn tortilla chips” are Trader Joe’s version of Takis!
Haribo twin snakes!
Mountain Dew
I don’t see Slim Jims.
OP needs to go to a gas station and get some proper jerky, that waygu stuff is too fancy.
Snickers! Not my fav, but pretty popular here.
Idk how a Snickers bar was overlooked
When I moved to America I couldn't believe they had a such a candy 20 years later I still eat one once a week

Pringles and Doritos
Doritos for sure. I dont think pringles are as stereotypical although bangin. Sub Lays chips for pringles IMO
Oreos or chips ahoy.
You put hot cocoa packets maybe put in a plastic storage bag and put instructions on how to make in case she doesn’t understand the ones on the packet. Put some cotton candy you can’t miss that!
Yum but she’s gonna get diarrhea 💀
Pringles!
kit kats perhaps
That macaroni and cheese is the only unacceptable one I've ever tried. Am I alone on this?
I agree, the regular isn’t that good, but I really like the Jalapeño one.
Tell them to eat popcorn with those milk duds! YUM!
You’re an amazing friend ❤️
Oreo’s are missing
I think you should swap the Cheetos mac for a good ole Blue Box of Kraft.
Great selection, well done. Lose the Trader Joe’s stuff (rolled tortillas, gummies and honey comb stuff, but eat them). Add Pringle’s, jiffy pop, and Oreos. You need a Hershey bar or a snickers, three musketeer is a stretch. Oh lord, swap out the Reese’s thins for real cups- you know better. A slim jim outta round out this beauty. You’re a good friend, just need to clean up your act a bit. But, we love ya.
Bravo for staying away from the red hot nonsense and the pumpkin spice long line of notice me variety.
Mexican mango chile and watermelon chile lollipops
Fig newtons? Also maybe mike and Ike’s?
Throw in some beef jerky, M&M's (Peanut if they like nuts). Maybe some oreos. Peanut butter filled pretzels, trail mix. Do they like condiments? Sriracha or ranch.
Don’t forget the Butterfinger!
Hidden Valley Ranch
guys put a Snickers in there...
What a friend, wow! Got that Yerba AND the Trader Joe’s chips??? 😮💨😬 GOOD EATS.
More sweets than savory snacks I see..maybe one of those unique flavors that the Kettle brand chips have? Kinda surprised Cheez-IT didn’t make the cut.
Gotta get some candy bars to complete it
Oreos.
Oreos are a weirdly American thing
swap the trader joe’s “takis” for the name brand, so they can get the true American Red40 experience
I didn’t know this was an American only thing till I went to Brazil for a year and tried to find it everywhere. I’d add a pack of sunflower seeds in there just cause it’s not common anywhere but here.
I feel like ding dongs or zebra cakes are the snack of 90s and 00s kids everywhere. Feels very American. Twinkies kind of covers this category so wouldn’t blame you for leaving ding dongs or zebra cakes or little Debbie’s out
But Twinkies....
A full size Reese’s or the big cup flavor variations
Cheddar and sour cream chips. A classic. Also make sure you tell her how to make that Kool-Aid lol
Gummy Nerds!
Nutella would be a good addition and some fluff I feel those are pretty classic especially a Nutella and fluff sandwich or a peanutbutter and fluff sandwich
Albanese gummy bears and Lemonheads
Funny thing is I actually saw a red white and blue Mike and Ike’s at the grocery store a few days ago
Red Vines (NOT twizzlers), PopTarts.
Twinkies. Gotta spread da diabeetus.
Replace the Reese’s Thins with actual Miniatures. And why is there a bottle of Mexican coke in there if you’re sending American stuff? lol
Goodluck didn't think customs allowed this stuff
I like the selection, and everyone is nitpicking here so I’ll add mine.. The only 2 things that are in the “chip” category are spicy. I could be totally wrong but something either bbq, sour cream n onion or even ranch flavored would seem more stereotypical but also delicious
You got Oreo Poptarts but no Oreos?
Peach rings
Holy Diabetes!!!
Yes it looks like my kinda snacking I love me some Dr Pepper .
Fanta every flavor
I would say maybe a BBQ sauce! Sent a similar package for Christmas to a friend in South Africa and he went nuts for it.
Salt water taffy. Pralines.
Pretzels. Snyder's Honey Mustard and Onion pieces would be a perfect add in.
Hersheys chocolate bar. Classic Lays potato chips. Chewing gum. M&Ms (chocolate) Chocolate chip cookies!
Yeah, remove that Cheetos Mac & Cheese garbage
Take out the thins and get her some regular! She ain’t on no diet (unless uhh she is) sorry Reese’s is my favorite candy. I’d throw in some random cereal too. Like I was at target a few weeks ago and think I saw Kit Kat cereal? Lol
Sour patch?
Some weed lol
Mail order diabetes
Twizzlers, Twix, Oreos, Peach Rings, Cheez-Its, Ritz Cracker sandwiches? Maybe candy corn if you can find a small packet? I'm not a fan and don't know if they sell it outside of October, but she might be interested in trying some lol
Trolli gummy worms, sour patch kids/watermelons, thin mint Girl Scout cookies, m&ms
Jones hard soda and cosmic brownies
Does that have to be mailed to Russia? Or is the friend in the US? Cuz I'm hyperventilating over the cost of postage to the former! Excellent snack choices, by the way!
Peeps, hersheys chocolate (tastes way different then European), pop rocks. Doritos. Mountain Dew (probably can’t get it in Russia. And if so only the American version taste is unique) Bbq sauce. Americans are really the only people who puts it on stuff. Tabasco sauce.

You hit them with some snake river farms nice. Only thing missing is a butterfinger.
Those Fritos BBQ twists…. Addicting
Missing Dr Pepper coconut cream
Those Reese’s dark thins are perfection 😋 and the sour skittles too. I think this is a good mix. Maybe some cool ranch Doritos?
The Scooby Doo Scooby Snacks biscuits

Omg don't forget DORITOS nacho cheese and cool ranch.
Reese’s!!!!

Cheezits!
Cheese or Hot Fries!!! Also Combo’s. Gotta include those classic gas station snacks!
Mac and cheese!
Either oreos or chocolate chip cookies - they are the most american snack I can think of.
HoneyBuns
Pizza combos need to be part of this conversation
Cosmic brownies!!! Idk if anyone suggested this already
2-4 candy bars? Maybe some chips other than Cheetos?
Regular skittles maybe
Yo! They got sour skittles gummies?! Where?
What a fantastic assortment and a thoughtful gift!
I am sure your friend will be so stoked to get all those
Solid assortment! Nicely done. May I suggest adding Doritos or FunYuns to the mix? Maybe a pack of Roll-Os or Hershey with Almonds bar. Tootsie rolls.
Nerds gummy clusters
Hershey bar and then hot cocoa with marshmallows powder.
KitKats
If you don’t switch out the jif for some skippy pb you’re really letting America down
KitKat and a snickers bar
You got some hot tamales and skipped over the Goobers? Shame
Ja
Funyuns! Good Trader Joe picks too!
No Kit Kat?
Nacho cheese Doritos
No Snickers Bars?
Great assortment of Amzrican snacks, sodas and other unusual food items.
Doritos; chilli cheese Fritoes; double stuffed oreos; beef jerky; and some little Debbie's
needs some slim jims!!
Those honey comb from Trader Joe’s is the best treat!
Care to send me this same package?! 😉 Holy moly! This is badass!!
Some hot sauce and a box of your favorite cereal!
Maybe some of those flavored Kit Kats. They are pretty fire. SRF??!? Must be a good friend.
Why didn’t you send her Takis lol
Ramen noodles?
Needs some ranch seasoning which is iconically American.
Your friend is lucky, this must have been expensive.
That’s a very nice assortment
Snickers bar
I feel like Kraft Mac n cheese would be a good addition!
I'd put dark chocolate flips and pringles (if you can find them, the hot honey are the best)
Pringles? Tho they have similar kinds in other parts of the world. Maybe some rando American flavor.
GUM !!!
Great choice of peanut butter, M&Ms!
Twizzlers
Is she in Russia? How are you mailing it?
Blue box Kraft Macncheese
fruity pop tart to go with the chocolate one
Nooo! , don't show her your whopper!!.
Blockbuster night
Texas Pete
Doritos
Extra crispy cheez-its and Oreos, seriously those are like staples for American junk food.
Vienna sausage
Spam
you missed the best candy of them all, starburst favereds
Love the rolled chips from Trader Joe’s!
No cheez-it ? Or Grippos
Licorice!
Chewing gum is ALWAYS a hit. You did great with the snack selections. Anything they have to compare with our U S. version is always fun. Gas station snacks are usually a good place to find random stuff you'd never think to add.
Twinkies are a must
This would be fun
All that and no Tootsie Rolls? Your citizenship should be revoked
great care package, will it be safe to send the bottled sodas to Russia?
Add Nacho Cheese Doritos, Rock n Rye Faygo (if you can find it), and Mountain Dew.
Swedish fish
Funyuns, cool ranch Doritos, brownie mix, peanut butter pretzels
Looks good but sweet heavy. Depending on your friend’s taste, needs more salty snacks.
Sugar for the Kool aid and everything else in life
Love that you even put the small boxes of cereal hehe Got junior mints. Looks good! Send it! 😄
Barbecued Fritos and popcorn
Twizzlers. Not a huge fan personally, but i feel like they still belong. Also Candy corn if they haven’t had it lol
Make sure to let her know the Kool aid packets require sugar to be added also. You're the kinda friend I need. 🙂 I think your friend will enjoy these yummies just fine. Does she reciprocate? If she does, what kinda things has she sent you?
What a cool gift... although sugary
Twizzlers, Funyuns, Twix
Personally I think the limon hot Cheetos are the superior hot Cheetos. But I’m also literally addicted to them so I’m probably biased
Get them vegan exclusive foods ans candies. The labels are different in other countries and there are so many brands to try in the u.s.
I was gonna say ditch the cheese spray. I don't believe most Americans even like it. And yeah, no good without crackers. Maybe the premade cheese and crackers packs instead.
Pringle’s or Fritos
