It’s always tough to keep your care packages fun and fresh with new ideas that your Service Member 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.
