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.
