Ideas needed!

I need ideas for something vegan that I can make and send across the country to an omni friend. What kind of food ships well without refrigeration? Any ideas would be superb! Please and thank you!
do you mean like a meal, or baked goods/treats?
I've sent cookies , brownie, blondie and fudge across the world without refrigeration and all recipients have told me they've arrived fine.
Particularly with the cold weather over most of the states right now, I wouldn't really worry about the transit.
Yeah I'd send snacks/desserts. Glad to hear they ship okay. What did you put them in to ship? I really haven't shipped much before.
I just put them in re-usable plastic containers and then maybe bubble wrap around that if you think the things inside are breakable.
I also usually freeze baking before I send it and just pull it out at the last minute before taking it to the post office, to help prolong it's life, but if you're only shipping across the states, it should only take a matter of days, not weeks, so you should be fine to package it up fresh.

It made it very fine oww.... until they got into my hands.
Shipping cookies is wayyy easy. I've actually just put them in a ziplock bag surrounded by a piece of bubble wrap and sent them fine. But plastic containers definitely help. (Plus then you can mail things like mini loaf breads and cupcakes without frosting)
Cookies made with oil and Earth Balance, which help preserve the cookie, ship well. Cookies made with banana taste funky when they arrive in the mail.
Pack cookies in Ziploc bags with bubble wrap, foam peanuts or scrunched up newspaper.
Pick up a flat rate box at the post office. You can fill it with more cookies and treats at one flat rate. It's cheaper than if you sent a bunch of cookies by weight.
ive shipped cookies and pastries just fine with just a ziploc bag.
