We are kind of in a relationship but we are also in the process of getting to know each other. I want to surprise him but I don't want to ask him what he likes?

Nothing that will melt. It is hot over there. Something he can use and not have to worry about it breaking, getting stolen or having to carry it back to the States. Always send sunscreen, chapstick and sunglasses. American food. reading material. The military provides the basics....you send him the goodies. A phone card so he can call you. Cologne would be nice...
The best thing........a letter, even if it a short hello....everyday at mail call.

That is wonderful that you want to send a package to Iraq. I've been mailing packages on and off for the last 5 year's. (considering my husband has been over there several times) The soldiers love just about anything that is mailed from home... just let's them know there being thought of.
Here are some idea's, just have fun with them. Some of the boxes I made theme boxes. Like a sports, games, movies, etc.
Beef Jerky, packaged cookies, ramen & soups, coffee, tea, koolaid, packaged sugar, resteraunt condiments, cracker jacks, peanuts & nutts, hard candy (remember chocolate melts), chips & dip, microwave meals (that don't need refridgerated),pop corn the list could go on and on, just be creative.
Card, Games, movies, stuffed animals, pictures of family & friends, letters, stationaries, pens & pencils etc. etc. etc.
I'm sure he'd love anything you send, expecially knowing that you put some thought into it by making it all fun.
For the holiday's a few friends and I gathered & donated goodies, and mailed a good size box for his area, so other soldiers that doesn't have much family. Got something .....
Thanks for supporting a soldier!!

Hard candy, a dvd or cd of ur favorite movie, music. A really nice letter, pictures of u. Maybe a magazine or gum, cookies that don't have choc to melt. Tell him things about home, what u up too. If it had been earlier, a mini tree... u can contact ur local miltary & they can provide u with a list of great items to ship.

The purple circulate is a robust place to deliver issues out from. you will desire to desire a acceptance, unit and handle (you will desire to probable get this from a VFW, FRG {family individuals Readiness team}). issues to deliver could be: comfortable toliet paper Kool-help (single serve to in basic terms upload water) beef Jerky toothpaste shampoo/conditioner hair ties razor telephone playing cards table certain pads and pens (BLACK OR BLUE INK in basic terms) tampons (no longer in basic terms for women, super first-help product) be conscious puzzles Any nutrition that is warmth solid and would not expire at as quickly as batteries (an excellent decision) **some particular thank you to %.; it is extra handy to circulate via customs in case you're making a inventory checklist, in the different case they'll provide up it. do no longer seal packing bins, b/c the do inspect maximum issues. We only used a foot locker.

You can send him things like individually wrapped snack bars, Pop Tarts, snack size bags of chips, chap stick (it will be cold there soon), Tums or Rolaids, magazines, soap or hand sanitizer, etc. They really enjoy getting just about anything.
I am Praying for his safe return.

maybe his favorite coffee im sure he doesn't get the same over there. even his favorite snack over there would be good. again im sure they dont' get the food they eat hear. and he's probably missing some stuff from back here. Maybe his favorite matgazines. and a video of you and his love ones would be nice so he can watch it while away from you. maybe a nice cd of his favorite band
