~Question on Items I can send to my Sailor~
Hi!
I am new to this forum. My Finance's Brother is on the George Bush CVN77. I am wanting to send him a few items, just something to let him know that we miss him and are thinking of him. Can anyone give me some ideas on things you can, and things you can not send?
I appreciate all input.
Thank you!
Melissa

I send my daughter all different kinds of chewing gum. microwave soup in a bowl, can cheese and crackers. Even when she makes it to eat. The food isnt that great. Unless it is pizza night (saturday) LOL clear the path! I usually ask if there is anything she needs -She always needs stuff like the purex 3 in 1 laundry sheets. I usually try to find a little something just to make her smile. Bubbles or glow bracelet -even if she just laughs and hides it or throws it away. I am sure anything would be appreciated even just a note.
