Need some Ideas
I signed up to send a single soldier from DH's company a christmas care package but not too sure what to send to someone I have no clue what they're into. I know food is a must for any guy lol but if anyone else has done something like this please give me some ideas.
TIA!!!

Hello Mayor!
|
I have sent Jake things like travel sized games like Clue (Target has them), and crossword puzzles, Sudoku books, a deck of cards...stuff like that. It's all small and inexpensive so if it gets broken, lost, left behind its not a huge deal.
I think it is super sweet of you to be doing this!

Can't wait for finals!

Beef jerky [the care pack staple
 ], gum/mints, a cheap journal or sketch book, a book from the bestsellers list, crossword puzzle book, magazines, hand lotion, Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts, chapstick... maybe some drink mixes. I'm at a loss as well.

ooohhhhhh a santa hat, snow globe, christmas movies like The Grinch Stole Christmas and a Christmas Story, maybe a holiday music cd? Holiday cards he could send out to his family/friends.

It’s the least I can do for someone who's sacrificing so much for my family and I.
