Kool Aid, toilet paper, the REALLY soft stuff. Newspapers, sports mags ie ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Maxim, Stuff. Cigarettes and Dip. Even if he doesn't use either he can trade. Also, two beer cans will fit inside a Pringles can(Just a thought) Prepaid phone cards, pre-addressed envelops. Something small and personal of yours, something he can carry, touch, and smell to remind him of you. A piece of your favorite robe, an old shirt, anything. Try to stay away from food with a lot of salt, desert and all ya know. Tabasco sauce does wonders to improve the taste of an MRE. The best thing you can send is your love and support, and it sounds like that won't be a problem. God bless you both and tell him Semper Fi, he should understand

ok great ideas so far. a couple notes :)
they have actually been trying to stop the flea collar thing, the chemicals are not safe for human skin, and even if they wear them over their pants there are still toxic side effects... there was a big press release concerning this a while ago.
they actually don't need stamps, so don't waste your money (they just write free in the spot where you'd normally place a stamp)
do not send alcohol. it is a serious violation, my brother just got busted back down to a private because he was being dumb and drinking... can you live off of a big jump down in pay?
militarywives.com and anysoldier.com also have some very good lists.

I deliver my brother selfmade candies. cakes deliver very nicely-only double bag them in zipper sealed plastic bags and %. tightly in a field. regardless of your sons renowned snack merchandise may well be-particularly selfmade. additionally ATT telephone enjoying cards from Walmart. There are ATT call centers on all the bases for the provider adult adult males to apply however the PX not often has any enjoying cards available to purchase. the wonderful card to deliver is the 250 or 3 hundred minute card as they are making worldwide calls on them and basically get approximately ninety minutes of definitely calling time on a three hundred min card. something despatched in everyday or greeting card envelope basically demands a everyday 39 cent stamp. Any applications require a custom style to be crammed out on the positioned up place of work.

I would send drink mix - like Crystal Light or gatorade powder. Drinking plain water gets to you after a while. Also non-perishable snacks. And word/Soduko puzzles.

Personal care items like baby powder, razors, shaving cream, floss, toothbrushes, deodorant, and soap are good. Black socks would be good. An extra PT shirt or two.
Maybe a good book.

I send my husband things he likes, like candy that doesn't melt, beef jerkey, stuff like that. He also like gatorade powder to mix with water.
Also, it's a good idea to send lotion and chap stick. They really go through it over there!
