My husband is in Iraq what should I send as a care package?

Question

am not sure what is permitted and what is not

Answer 1

Oh, I sent lots of packages. I can't remember them all, but here are a few.

One was to "keep it cool" (since it gets hot there)- pitcher, kohl-aid packets, ice tea packets, small battery operated fan, ice cream flavored Baskin Robins candy, deodorant

Christmas package (it is that time if you celebrate)-small tree already decorated. You can wire the ornaments on so they will stay through the mail, a stocking stuffed with goodies.

Did you send him a pillow yet? My husband always wanted a nice pillow, so of course, I sprayed it with my perfume.

Picture frames with pictures of you!!! Lots of love letters!

I sent some cheap $1 DVDs from Wal-Mart for him to play on his laptop. Comedies. And popcorn (already popped unless he has a microwave.)

At Wal-greens you can make all kinds of fun stuff with
pictures. A puzzle of a personal picture of just you
or the two of you is $20 (Kind of expensive)

Copies of the town/city newspaper will remind him of
home. I know our newspaper will mail it there
for free.

The dollar store has cheap, fun games, like chess,
checkers, cards and dominoes.

Also, you can pack things in empty paint cans and decorate
the outside of them with modgepodge and pictures or
magazines.

Those are the only ones I remember right now!

Answer 2

Send little things to eat like
Candy, Cookies, Nuts.
Toothbrush, Tooth Paste.
Little handi wipes that are already moistened.
But Most of all, Send your love.
Write a letter , put it in the package,
Telling him how much you love him,
How proud you are of him.
If he ever needed to hear it, It's now.
God Bless you both.

Answer 3

Just about anything really as long as its legal. I was over there and believe me anything you send will be like gold. I would suggest his favorite snacks, baby wipes, and yes flee collars. Honestly those are the best.
