planning first care package - Care Packages

lauren33 · 11-07-2007, 06:15 PM

well, since DB will be leaving kuwait for iraq in a week or so, i am planning on sending his christmas package by thanksgiving.

so ive already thought of somethings i could MAKE to send him and ill ive got so far is a pillowcase with pictures of us ironed onto it with that iron paper stuff, a stocking that i am going to decorate and stuff with candy, and i was going to use shutterfly.com and make a calendar but it said that the pictures on it may not come out good in quality so i cancelled that order.

but i would like to know some other creative ideas of things to send for christmas!!

thanks!!

hm, you could make him a cd of songs that he likes or songs that remind you of him. dvd's are always good if he has a way to watch them. i'm looking for some ideas myself!
