If my secret santa is from some where, where you have good apple butter that would be an awesome extra (or if you make your own).  it is so hard to find good apple butter here in So Cal!  I was complaining about it to my family recently and got some in the mail (from Amish Country in IL).  Yums!

I know she recently got contracts to sell her items on Nebraska, but not sure where else. She lives here, but ships I believe! We ordered like 80 boxes one year for my husbands companies holiday gifts so she gave us a private truffle and caramel tasting to choose what we wanted. Amazing
Wow, that's pretty awesome! I'll have to check her out. I have to watch my carbs, but I can still have a little bit of the good stuff:) I don't waste my chocolate carbs on Hersheys:)

 
Ah, love the idea of including something unique to your city. Except...being from Green Bay we're pretty much ONLY known for the Packers. So I hope my SS recipient is cool with rocking a cheesehead!

Come on now! I am from Louisiana too and there is plenty to send.
If I get someone from Louisiana, I expect some voodoo magic coming my way. =p I want an enchanted crocodile skull, damnit.

 
As far as Colorado goes... Celestial Tea started here, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and lots and lots of breweries ....there's also Pikes Peak, places like Air Force Academy among tons of other Military bases...so I imagine something from those I might be sending...not sure about the beer though...

Oh gosh yes! Gorgeous. There's no denying how beautiful this place is. And I forgot about Aspen and Vail too ! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And don't worry I assure whomever I get will not get any Rocky Mountain Oysters from me! lol

 
My dad, as a die hard 49ers fan was so disappointed when both of his daughters decided to go to wisconsin for school. No joke, in the 90s he turned down a job because he noticed the hiring manager had a GB emblem on his shelf.

I just can't wrap my head around that kind of die-hard team-spirit mentality.

Hahaha hilarious! Although, I can't say I'm surprised! We are not a very well-liked city...at least when it comes to football fans.

We have tons of yummy stuff in Louisiana! But, last time I checked...gumbo, jambalaya & étouffée don't ship very well :/

Hmm... There's always Tony Chacere's!!
I bought an awesome jambalaya seasoning and rice mix at a swap meet.  It of course came from Louisiana and you just had to add the chicken, smoked sausage, and water (or whatever meat you prefer).  I wish I could get more, but I can't remember the company name.  Something like that, you could send the taste of Louisiana.  If you have your own recipe, you could mix up the dry ingredients including the rice, and put printed instructions on how to prepare it.  That would make a wonderful gift.

I've sent care packages to several of the friends I've made when solo traveling internationally with similar things and they all said how much they loved the packaged seasonings! It really is magic for the taste buds!

Ahaha, I'm from Pittsburgh and went to school in Baltimore. I still live/work there on a basis. Needless to say, I'm not always very popular.

Then again, I can't really talk because my team isn't doing that well this year... ^^;;;; OOPS. But I'm always vindictively gleeful when the Ravens don't do well CLEARLY I'M NOT A GREAT PERSON

 
I LOVE the idea of something local. I relocaste every 18 months for work so I am not 100% sure of what Kansas is known for.
At this point, I think they're most famous for the Winchester brothers. (My dad's family is partially from Kansas. We have no clue what they're known for, either. We keep getting them mixed up with Iowa, and Dad spent as much of his childhood there as I did in Yakima, which I am very aware is all about tree fruit. And hops. And recreational pharmaceuticals.)
