It’s always tough to keep your care packages fun and fresh with new ideas that your servicemember will love. Just remember, food, basic necessities and a hint of home will mean more than anything else you could possibly send!
Keep it simple; there’s no need to re-invent the wheel. Jasmine Nicoson has a fantastic example of what she likes to send to her deployed husband. Here’s some of the things she likes to send overseas:
- A greeting card
- Candies
- Snack foods they love
- Airborne
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray
- Basic toiletries
- Baby wipes (always a must!)
- Magazines
Send simple pleasures, things you might take for granted and send your love.
