Of course this can not be a substitute for real shalach manos -- unless 
you print it on rice paper and eat it! :-)

P.S.  I would like to encourage people to send gifts of food to the needy,
      shut-ins, seniors in care facilities, and Jewish people who don't yet
      know about shalach manos...  before thinking of which friends sent 
      baskets to you -- and feeling obligated to give a basket to someone 
      who is already going to receive dozens of baskets.
