When df was on the ship this last Valentines day I sent him a little silver heart that said "hugs & Kisses" I found it at a card store. That way he could keep it in his pocket and pull it out whenever he was missing me. Also I sent him a HUGE box of his favorite junk food. And a mixed CD that had all the sappy songs that reminded me of him. And I made a copy of it for myself so that way when I was missing him I could listen to it to cheer up.

On Troy's last PAC, I sent him a message in a bottle. He loved it!! He didn't want to open it . . . he just kept taking it out and staring at it wondering what the message was that I had them put in it. LOL! I mean, he's out on a boat and he gets a message in a bottle while he's out there. Anyways, here's where I got his: BottleGram.com
(I did of research on messages in bottles and I think this company is the best, because you can choose the stationary, the label and basically say whatever you want on it. If you can't think of anything to say, they have quotes and poems and stuff to choose from.) The people that work there are totally friendly, too.

those bottlegrams look so cute! i might order one for db!

I was thinking of getting him a digital camera, taking it out and taking random photos of stuff here at home (maybe some racey pics too) close the box back up like it was never opened and let him find his surprise on his own. Course my db is so technology illiterate he'd probably never figure out how to review pics he's taken to discover mine!

Does he even have the space to keep what you send him??
