Gimmee Your Stuff

Gimme Your Stuff

As a follow up to my Cultural reach-out, I read about the "Gimme Your Stuff" program from a friend's blog (Thanks, Chai!).

Basically, it allows you to be a cultural ambassador and trade packages with cool stuff from an ambassador in another country. Or, to quote their website:

Welcome to Gimme Your Stuff, the cultural exchange blog where you can swap
items of significance to your area with items from others around the world. A
conduit for many an international cuisine to change hands. A place where you can
trade a newspaper from South Africa, or a CD from Finland. A place where we take
no responsibility for anything anyone else does. A place where we are Changing
the world with other people’s stuff

So here is what a marketing consultant by day, professional female drag racer on weekends from Huntsville, AL can offer:

  • Sweet Home Alabama -- The Movie
  • Auburn Football gear-- War Eagle! (or Alabama-- if you twist my arm enough.)
  • Horsepower & Heels decals & T-shirts
  • Racing related items
  • Clothing/Accessories from US retailors
  • Southern Foods
  • Any fashion magazine you'd ever want from the US (Elle, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Latina, US Weekly, Glamour, etc.)
  • Alabama newspapers
  • NASA related stuff... from the Huntsville Space Center
  • Photo scrapbook from popular spots in the area
  • Mixed CD of great local music
  • any type of Alabama trinkets (or even any other states while I'm racing and traveling)
  • AND--- I love shopping, so tell me what you're looking for, and I'll go out and try to find it!

What I'd love to get:

  • Shot Glasses from international locations (I collect them)
  • Clothing/Accessories that are trendy from your area
  • Racecars or Automobile related items in your area
  • Sweets/Foods
  • Local celebrities/history
  • Magazines
  • A mixed CD of local music
  • Any other interesting item... surprise me!

Can't wait to see who out there wants to exchange! Just leave me a comment if you're interested!
