Easter Cards 2026

I only sent Easter cards to a small handful of friends, since I'm not into the holiday at all. But these three cards from Trader Joe’s were too cute to pass up!

A Goodie Parcel for Natalia (and Lola!)

Earlier this month I sent a package of silly items to Natalia and I love that she texted me a video of sweet lil' Lola enjoying her Trader Joe’s pupper treats!

Missing These So Bad...

While scrolling through my IG saved posts and deleting, I came across a review from 2020 about my all-time favourite store bought cookie - Trader Joe's Neapolitan Joe-Joe's. I miss them desperately and hope like hell they will bring them back, even if for one little season...

Boo Basket Care Package Received!

On our last FaceTime date together, Natalia mentioned that, just like Nana Irma, no one had ever made or or bought her a birthday cake growing up. That was pretty heartbreaking so I felt compelled to put together a few of her fave stateside goodies and send her a package that had some seasonal treats from good ole Tradee Joe’s.

(Her fave boxed cookies!)

A Trader Joe’s Fave!

Trader Joe’s vegan chocolate coconut milk ice cream/frozen dessert is thee best chocolate ice cream on the market. Prior to this Whole Soy's Swiss Chocolate was my fave, but they went out of business (of course they did) ages ago. 

Bananas

I saw this online, on Instagram a while back, and oh my goodness, Trader Joe’s was spot on with this. Lucille Bluth (played brilliantly by Jessica Walter) was nothing if not completely unaware of reality.

Strawberry Chocolate Popcorn

Last February I discovered and instantly became obsessed with this delicious Trader Joe’s snack. There was a week where I ate a bag a day. It's a serious addiction. Corinna, the checkout gal who I love, said that when they came back in stock this year that she instantly thought of me.

Celine Dijon

Ha! I saw this in the bathroom at Trader Joe’s. Adorable!

The Turkeys Are Coming!

Ha! The turkey's name-tag reads Ted. Adorable. I snapped this last year on my way in to a local-ish Trader Joe's. Man, I wish I knew how to draw...Ted is super handsome!!

BONUS! I walked in to TJ's tonight and they have this year's turkey announcement up and it's just as cute as last year's!

Halloween Cards 2024

This year I mailed these babies out the night of Sept 30th so that they would all reach their destination in time. I only did a few homemade cards this year (for Carole & Greg, Bailey, Avery, Maggie (I think), Kay, Evelyn, and Lacey) but most were Trader Joe’s since they have some of the best cards of all time.

Amy's Rosh Hashanah and Halloween cards from me:

Natalia's Holiday Package

Natalia has been having a rough time lately and so I packed up some Trader Joe’s favourites and other goodies and sent it all off to Natalia. I'm so glad it reached her in time and that she loved everything.
