Need a little help... - Care Packages

lynlyn240 · 10-25-2009, 08:42 PM

I'm usually really good at the care packages and stuff, but this is a... unique situation. Haha. My SO is in Afghanistan, and he has the flu, and he's been in a terrible mood, to the point that when I told him about my day the other day, he started freaking out at me about how I shouldn't complain about things because I'm not being shot at. Which, I wasn't actually complaining, he just asked what I had been doing, but I understand. So, I was kinda hoping to do something for him. His family send him a lot of snacks and candy and stuff, so I was going to try for some other stuff. He'll be home for Christmas. Help????

how about a cheer up/hang in there theme? lots of stuff with smiley faces and then some like monkeying around kind of stuff? or just a box with a lot of really silly stuff, like a whoopie cushion, kiddie snacks, maybe a travel size game, silly string, water balloons....
