Thanksgiving Carepackage

[SDSailor]

This is my first time dating a guy in Military and first deployment.
I sent him a Halloween package (my first package to him) and packed DVD, magazines, snacks, and homemade cookies...

I want to send him a Thanksgiving package (remind him of Thanksgiving).

Can you give me some advise or recommendation what I can put?

I've been thinking about the same thing and nothing is coming to mind

me three!

I was thinking maybe little apple pies (the ones they have at the store that could be shipped easily), definitely something that lists why i'm thankful to have him... hmmm.

what else could we do?

have you looked in the carepackages sticky on this site...I think there's more somewhere. It depends on the situation but canned gravy, turkey jerky, instant mashed potatoes, pumkin muffins, a list of all things that make you thankful to have him in your life, an advent calendar in prep for XMAS, craisens (whatever they are called dried cranberries), a nerf football even if he can't play a pick-up game at home maybe he can there.... I teach and I am having our second grade make a big Banner that says Happy Thanksgiving and every kid is making a turkey handprint on it.
