The Basics, Baked Goods.

His favorite brownie or cookies in a vacuum seal food saver or sealed zip-lock freezer bag. Non-perishables to consider are drink mixes, hard candy or fortune cookies with inspirational messages. Any candy can be sent that won’t easily melt.


Pictures are a Must.

Signs with family members and friends and a hand written message will remind him of home. Card, collage and scrapbook items are easy and light weight to send. These are not only care package items but should be regularly sent items from you and the family.


The Guy Stuff

The following personal hygiene products have been rated the most needed products for our overseas soldiers.


Shampoo, ChapStick, Scope, Deodorant stick, sanitary wipes, tooth brush/toothpaste, comb, razor, floss, lotion. I would recommend an assortment in each care package; we all know you can never have enough toiletry items.


A Few Mailing Tips

Make sure there is proper dunnage in the care package, when you shake the box, nothing inside moves. Check mailing limitations and requirements to the country you are mailing to, some imported items are forbidden. Keep in mind all incoming mail is open to search.
