Things I can always use from the States

People often ask me if I need anything mailed to me.  Truth is, no.  I don't need anything.  1.something billion people live here and survive (supposedly).  But honestly, there are many things I would like.

Here are some things that I never seem to have enough of in this country that I can't find here:

Baking Powder (I love pancakes)
Mapeline (again pancakes)
Soft bristle toothbrushes (though Elias just brought me a bunch)
Crest baking soda and peroxide toothpaste
Deodorant (I wish I had Chinese genes so I wouldn't sweat and stink so much, believe it or not, most people here don't use deodorant)
Cosmo (I need a break from it all once in a while)
Skim milk (I know that can't be shipped here but I haven't had real milk in nearly two years)
Butterfingers
Cake mixes
Swiffer (Okay, that's asking a lot, especially since I can't buy the refill pads here)
Sanitizing Wipes/Spray
T-Shirts that actually fit properly

Okay, okay.  A lot of those things aren't things I necessarily want here as much as things that I miss.  Sometimes I just wish I were back at home.

I'm a crappy blog follower (and writer) but I just read this entry. I can send reduced fat milk from Germany. It comes in those tetrpaks that can stay on the shelf forever. Also cake mix and butterfingers too. Let me know!
