Man, the Americans are determined to be killjoys for everyone.
Ah jaysus.
Barry’s is fairly readily available in the big cities over here.
Chocolate… Not a massive deal and the bigger supermarket chains usually have a few bits.
Crisps though. Crisps will be an issue. The place I go to to get Irish stuff is already having a hard enough time paying for stuff, including surprise customs bills. I can see them just stopping the orders instead of dealing with it. The owner is retired and has said she’ll keep it open until the place starts losing them money, regardless of whether the profit is 1c or in the thousands. They’re not going to take risks on items.
Better head down there and hope I can get the Christmas supplies in.
Fools. If they want war then Irish mams will be their new Vietnam.
This is gonna kill the paddybox
Probably a good place to confess I had 3 Brennans bread loaves on my hand luggage last trip back for my son who is obsessed with good Irish bread!!! I’ve trained him well
This is how you get the builders home! /s
Not chocolate 😱 My best friend Carrie’s son Logan LIVES for his bars of Freddo and his Terry’s Chocolate Orange!
My brother in Connecticut is going to be devastated
I sent chocolate and coffee a few weeks ago….when did this new lark start….?🙄
Here are 2 good websites that are based in America that you can still send gifts to Irish people in America with:
https://www.irishbreakfastbox.com
https://www.foodireland.com
Both companies are owned by Irish people in America. Not sure if the tariffs and new regulations with majorly impact them.
Just don’t send anything valued over 100 dollars. And that’s a declared 100 dollars. You can send a grands worth of stuff and if you declare it under 100 dollars, you’ll be fine.
If you still want to send irish treats the website food ireland .Com is excellent and sells the proper stuff
How the heck did you end up living up there?
And I used to roll my eyes when people called them fascists.
Mam sent a lovely care package to me in Shenzhen, China in 2022 for Christmas, a couple of GAA autobiographies, Tayto, Tea and plenty of other treats, think it cost over 100 euro to ship, massive yoke.
Received it by the end of September 2023 as Chinese customs seized it for a search due to the books.
