Just wanted to ask what company you recommend from upperstate NY for sending balikbayan boxes?

We just got our “beloved” box last friday from my brother in Florida. The usual’s are in with the staple chocolates, towels, teflon pans, huge ketchups, huge oatmeals, shirts, bags, shoes, huge toothpaste, spams, corned beef’s and vienna sausages, books, etc. I love the euphoria of digging on these boxes and be surprised at what’s inside. I think that is the most precious moment you bond with your whole family.

Thanks, MM, for all the above pasalubong ideas. Like others living out-of-country, I send bboxes to relatives at home, especially at Christmas time. Most of the stuff mentioned here are familiar to me, including Canadian rice. However, there are a few you mentioned, which I never thought would be appreciated home. The maple syrup, for example; also, canned plum tomatoes, dried fruits, Earl Grey Tea and balsamic vinegar. I am visiting next month, and I will have all these, plus other suggestions from your other readers, in my suitcase/bbox. Thanks again.

Amen to your sentiment, B. Delmundo.

“Now if only we could send you bboxes filled with green mango, bottled bagoong, dried danggit or tuyo, a bibingka or two and some fresh sampalok…”
Not necessary, there are so many Filipino Store here in California. I do not know about the other states. The only thing we want is a “THANK YOU CARD or NOTE” not the note from the BBayan Box company.
