Any ideas for a halloween package. I wana make it fun and to lift dfs spirts up. Hes really missing me, and especially now since we just found out we are pregnant. I want to send him some good treats for him and his fellow guys and some fun stuff to make him laugh. To make him feel better even if for a little bit. Open to any ideas...

I got some funny stuffs from Walgreens and lots of candies for him and the guys. You can probably send him a scary movie.
Have fun working on it! and congrats on the little bean!!!
I have been working on one for the sailor I adopted...
The funniest thing I got was a gummy frog (it is reallllly big) that you "disect" :lmao it has gummy guts in it and comes with a pick and tweezers. I got it at target

I just did one for my adopted soldier. I went to Kroger and got him:
- a trick or treat bucket
- a goblet with goblin on it
- blow pops
- boxes of nerds
- lil debbie cakes
- safety necklaces in the shape of pumpkins (I wrote on them that I needed to make sure he was safe when he was trick or treating between tents :giggle)
- I threw in a halloween card too
I keep mine kinda cheap but you could certainly make it a scary movie night or send him a mask/costume. You could probably do popcorn balls? I'm not sure how well they would keep on their way over but if you find the prepackaged ones it could be a good idea. I didnt see any candy corn, but that would be a nice touch too.
I have another package to put together this weekend so I'll be checking this thread for more ideas. :D

I have one packed up for matt. I used one of those flat rate priority boxes so it's like rectangle and I put a trick or treat bag inside. I put 3 scary movies and popcorn, 4 little halloween buckets with little love notes in side. candy corn a halloween pez dispenser a goo filled tube with severed heads in it and a bouncy ball with an eye in it. Halloween cards and halloween chex mix.

Those caramel apple suckers are good too... they keep for a while, don't take up much space, and are easy to share. :)

Same here, plus I got him a box of boogers. They are gummy of course. Target had great stuff in the $1 section. I got funny socks, a strobe light, a glow in the dark skeleton, candy, Halloween Oreos, a spooky music CD....
