Leslie, I started a Discussion Forum for what to put in our care packages. Hopefully, we will all be able to steal each other's ideas. Things tend to get lost in the comments, so I thought we could save them in a discussion.

Penny, I was saying that I thought you put the fridge up there? Was it you?

Rose do you think your son rolled his eyes when he said "mom" ? I can just hear the tone of voice my son would have said if it was me!

@ Lesllie and others for care packages these are some of my ideas.... Homemade cookies (their favorite) jerkey, hard candy - soft candy may melt, stamps, envelopes, If they have grandparents who have birthdays coming up maybe include some cards for the sailor to sign and remail to their grandparent.

I am putting in CJ's box for his birthday - hangers, cookies, jeans, and t shirts. ... the best and funniest thing will be a roll of toliet paper. CJ made such a fuss about Toliet paper when he came home and he fell in love with the brand I recently bought. So I am sending him one just for him....

Oh no, Rose.  Maybe they will just deliver it if they notice that there is someone there with the same last name?  ((hugs))

Haha, Thanks!!!!!  It was Penny, I bet, it says Sioux Falls, SD.  lol

Lori, happy mailing!  I'm glad to hear that you feel better.  :)  

Rose, wow!  Wouldn't that make a mom proud?  

Donna, good luck with all the clearance stuff.  

 

I just spent over $50 to mail 4 boxes to my sailor, and I didn't mail any homemade goodies yet.
