Care Packages?

[leashr]

Hi all,:wave:

My partner has recently left on 8-9 month deployment and was looking for suggestions as to what i could send to keep is morale high.

I have my list of items i know my partner will appreciate, but thought i would ask the question anyway to see if people had any ideas, which may have not crossed my mind yet.

Any ideas would be appreciated

TIA

A letter a ton of photos and something like banana bread.

It keeps well even just in glad wrap. :)

HTH a little.

That is so sweet. :cloud9:

get a picture of your bubba and then get it blown up to life size and send that off.

I did that for my hubby and he enjoyed having his son with him
Send DVD's of your son and you doing stuff that he will be missing out on.

I sent magazines (not dirty ones) but like hunting ones, and books, some of his favourite foods that are not perishable. Also sent Anzac biscuits for anzac day, just wrapped in bubble wrap in a plastic container. But basically just anything to let him know you thought of him while you were at the shops.

When my DH was a junior sailor, I used to send all the sports mags, cause they would be passed around his section, then the rest of his mess.
Nowadays he is in messes that have subscriptions, but I still send him lollies (usually enough to share with his section, but not always sure he does though, lol), nuts, drawings by the kids, books, occassionally a taped program, sometimes new clothes/underwear, stuff like that.
Don't send photos terribly often except by email now, as he saves them to his file at work and looks at them when he is logged on, used to send him alot though before email was so common. Once every so often I will send him a group shot of the kids to stick up next to his rack.
Hope you are surviving this deployment Leashr, and time isn't dragging too slowly.:hugs:

when DH was deployed i sent him his fav foods from home, collages of the kids which he would stick up in his room, dvds of the kids.
What we also did was start writing to each other in a book. basically i bought an exercise book and started writing things in it and then send in onto him and then he would write some things and send it back. it felt more personal than sending emails back and forth.

When DH was deployed I sent him some books, DVDs, pics of the kids, magazines, anzac bicces, lollies, drawings from the kids, new socks, underwear (very exciting!). LOL
