Care package suggestions
A friend of mine from HS is in Iraq so, obviously, he won't be at our reunion this weekend. We're going to send him a care package from all of us, what do y'all think we should include?
Ideas so far--toiletry items (shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, etc.), snacks (beef jerky, sunflower seeds), magazines, cards/dice, pens, paper, phone cards, disposable cameras....can you think of anything else? Any other snacks or things he can do during his down time? I'm hoping we have a lot of people contribute to it, I think he'll be really happy to get it!
Re: Care package suggestions
sock and water flavoring packs (kool-aid and crystal light) and gatorade. My bestfriends husband is in Afganistan right now and those are some things she sends him. Chapstick is a good one too.
Those are all awesome ideas and stuff we've sent to my dad when he's been over there. Maybe throw in some things from the reunion this weekend, too? Pictures, keepsakes...?
Granola bars would be on my list, too...Burts Bees chapstick, too.
You have some great ideas already!
Entertainment things like CDs and DVDs and books are always a good idea too!
It's awesome that you are all doing this!
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
Baby wipes
Chap stick
Sunscreen...high SPF too
Snacks (granola bars, trail mix, nuts, craker packs, etc)
Paper/pen/envelope/stamps
Possibly some homemade goodies...I used to send those to D all the time when he was overseas and they were a huge hit...his buddies always looked forward to my packages since they knew there was something made at "home"
Magazines...?
Toiletries
Water mixes....
