Care package items

Suggested care package items, in the order that I thought of them, you know, just in case you wanted to know:
  • Protein bars (Clif bars)
  • *Sriracha sauce/Thai curry paste/curry powder
  • Other herbs/spices (spicy is good, Mexican)
  • *Dark chocolate bars (just not in March-June, which is hot season)
  • Dutch-process cocoa powder, powdered buttermilk, old-fashioned oats
  • Instant miso soup packets
  • *Packaged or freeze-dried meats/sausages that don't need refrigeration (forget vegetarianism)
  • Hard cheese that doesn't need refrigeration
  • *Instant sauce packets (cheese sauce, taco seasoning, whatever seems good), and also soy sauce packets
  • Toasted almonds/*walnuts/pecans (but not peanuts)
  • Prunes
  • Jars of artichoke hearts/whole-grain mustard/stuffed olives (keeping classy)
  • Tea bags (Japanese green tea, rooibos, mate, others)
  • Issues of The New Yorker, American Scientist (not to be confused with the wider-circulated Scientific American), Harper's Magazine
  • Food magazines with pictures
  • Pilot G2 pens (black, or any color)
  • Bars of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, any scent
  • Uh, boxes of See's?
*Priority.

Boy do I sound like a snob. More added as I think of it.
(Note: peanuts, peanut butter, pasta, rice, tomato paste, condensed milk, and honey are plentiful here.)
