Whatever you send is fully appreciated, or so I’ve learned… but some of the big fav’s I’ve found:

Warm Delights!, Ramen Noodles, hard candy, gum, fav magazine (be careful with this one tho, some car magazines get censored), Christmas tree with mini ornaments and lights, whole pecan pies! (HAHA Don’t ask!).. list goes on and on. Have fun with it! Preparing care packages was always the highlight of the month for me!
Take care!

I am not a milspouse, butI have heard that while our guys do very tough work, there is also lots of down time too. I was thinking what about a game care package with decks of cards, uno, maybe poker chips (they might be too heavy),or monopoly $$ to bet with, as well as game night snacks, peanuts, popcorn etc. What do you think??

When I had a friend who was deployed he would call me all the time. He said the one thing that he really missed having was Easter Candy. Especially peeps. So I went to wal-mart and bought literally 12 packages of those things and other misc Easter candy and sent it over to him. I also made cookies and sent those. I wasn’t for sure how they would hold up but I made sure to seal them pretty good and he said that an civilian from Afghanistan even ate one of my cookies!!!

So if your husband likes sweets I would say sweets!

Well, that’s why I said even people who aren’t Military spouses can contribute! LOL!

You could also ask people who have been deployed (ahem…) for their ideas. I would love to give you some ideas…
