My husband loved when I would send him Gatorade.  He also liked trail mix.  Pictures are alway nice too.  If he smokes, send him cigarrettes.  Although I hated that my husband used to smoke, I knew he needed those cigs.  Also, chewing gum, for the times he couldn't smoke.\n\nI also sent things that weren't supposed to be sent...like "adult" mags.  \n\nHave fun putting together the package :)

when my uncle was over there up until 3 months ago, i use to send him all kinds of goodies. chocolate, peanuts, jerky, just about anything that doesn't go bad. i'd also send him hygiene stuff, soap, lotion, anti-bacterial stuff, also i know it sounds weird, but lots of q-tips. they use it not only for their ears, but cleaning their weapons. but most of all, letters from home and plenty of pics, and it wouldn't hurt to send disposable cameras either. once you gather everything, go to your local post-office, and let them know you are mailing it to a loved one in iraq, and they will supply a reasonable size box and help you ship it off. make sure his addy is written correctly. it took my uncle about 7 days to get his. good luck, and God Bless our Troops.....

I personally wouldn't give him a video game or anything. I would give him an ornament that he can keep forever, or maybe a scrapbook. give him baseball tickets. or a baseball/basketball signed by you with a message. Merry Christmas!

You can still give him a gift. Something you can't buy. Something that you have made just for him - a painting or something like that :)

I'm here in Taji right now and I can honestly tell you it doesnt matter, send anything that come to mind, receiving anything in the mail is the perfect gift, just to know someone is thinking about you and cares. To go with your follow up, its always awesome for you to send extras of whatever or at least two, because typically you live two to a room over here, and you dont know if that person is gonna receieve anything or not. Much better to brighten two soldiers day instead of one........sidenote- if your friends a smoker, cigarettes are always the best gift one could ask for,....wait no, a smuggling of alcohol is even better, Listerine bottles filled with Crown Royal work wonderfully.

If you know about him and the site there should be a way to respond to his mail.  Simple as that.  Good luck dear.  Peace.

OK, since we don't know how special you two are to each other, I am going to offer something pretty safe. Go to his favorite music store and get him a gift certificate. Put it in a great card. Now if you want to deliver that card scantily dressed with something else on your mind, fine, but at least let him pick out his own jams.

Get him something cute and meaningful that you'll be able to joke about later...A little compass on a necklace. He'll ask why the compass and you say, "so you'll always be able to find your way home"...later you can say, "So you can always find your way back to me."\n\nGood luck...let us know what happens!

I sent my husband a pillowcase once that I had slept on.  Shampoo, perfume, all of the familiar scents of home.\nLittle refrigerator magnets with cute sayings or that hold pictures.  Candles with promises of romantic dinners or baths by candlelight.  A book of poems with handwritten notes along some that remind you of him.  Coupons for backrubs, strip teases etc.  Use your imagination.\nHave fun!!
