Dealing with Deployment: Suggestions for Care Package Contents

I received a couple of requests for this video. I listed some things I've sent my boyfriend over the course of his 2 deployments. This is in no way an all-inclusive list. I may do another video later on *more* things one could send.

If you have any suggestions of your own, please post them in the comments so others may benefit, as well. If you have any questions, feel free to post it in comments so others can see my reply or e-mail it to me if it's more personal.

Remember to be creative when you're picking things to send in packages! The more random I make my boyfriend's care packages, the better he seems to enjoy them.

I hope this helps you guys!

I recently sent my man some Oreos and he loved them. :) the deoderant comment makes total sense, I'll have to make sure to do that next time. Another thing to add on to the stationary, is to preaddress envelopes and postcards, for when he doesn't have much time. But great list of stuff!

@SummerChica89 Ah, yes, good idea! I preaddress envelopes and send them to my boyfriend sometimes--but not because he doesn't have time; I do it as a not-so-subtle hint that I want a letter back. =]

The Oreos is a good idea. Another comfort food. If only we could send milk!

Thanks for the suggestions!

@Military21Wife Thanks! I do what I can. =] I am definitely an advocate of health. The things I listed aren't what they normally get (which I consider to be a good thing).I try to keep my care packages interesting.

Good ideas! Your bf is lucky to have you. Good luck to the both of you & I hope for a safe arrival home!
