Ideas for Care Packages

We all want to make deployments easier on our loved ones and many of us send care packages. Below is a list of things that my husband personally likes to receive in packages and it might give you some ideas to get started.

1. Kool Aid Singles

2. Foot Powder

3. Oreo cookies

4. chapstick (depending on where your loved one is stationed)

5. magazines

6. wet wipes

7.deoderant

8. dental floss

9. chewing gum (get the type in the plastic bubble packaging in case it melts)

10. small teddy bear

I have found that going to a dollar store you can get perfect things for care packages and it's affordable! You can buy greeting cards, stationary, some board games etc. Keep the packages small because they don't always have a lot of space to store things.
