Anything except, alcohol and porn and things that melt. We love to get magazines, paper book, nice personal hygene items, candy, anything that reminds us of home. A buddy of mine sends me my home town newspaper. It way late but fun to read anyway. Some guy sent us all of his old CDs and DVDs he didn't want anymore. That was cool too. Sending anything lets us know there are people back that care. Any support you show I'm sure would be greatly appreciated.

Depends are they male or female or are you just sending a general package? Well either way I was dating someone when he was over seas. He constantly asked for Pictures and anything to remind him of home (the US).
Also anything general such as toiletries and such. Baby wipes are a huge thing because often they are not able to shower for days on end. Gatorade powder because it helps flavor water which can be pretty nasty or even the only thing they have to drink for a while. Non-perishable easy to make food that can be shipped easily.
It is pretty easy to send over cds and dvds but they can be stolen easily and recopied to sell to the troups in transit so you should be wary of sending anything like that.
So basically think about what you would miss about home and the luxuries that we are able to have everyday. Try to be creative and send a package with that sort of thing. Let me know if you have any other questions! Hope this helps!

you can send anything but things that melt or ruin, no alcohol, and porn stuff.
here is a list of stuff they told me to send overseas to them: Baby wipes, sunscreen, chapped lips stuff, deodorant, tooth paste, eye drops or just a few key essentials. They are bored some time so send playing cards, games, reading items and other stuff. I sent note pads, stamped envelops, and pens. I include some of their favorite stuff to snack on and the packs to add to bottle water to change the taste a little bit.. Don't forget to send letters, and pictures in it so the keep up on daily activities around home.

hard candy, socks, toothbrush, magazines, books, cigarettes, beef jerky, underclothes, picture, Christmas card, cookies etc don't send things than can go bad or melt like chocolate or liquids. I think if you want it to get there for Christmas the deadline is this week by land.
