I've always just sent food. I've sent http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=118647 twice.
I'm wanting to send him one for father's day, but I need ideas!

This is one of the pillowcases I made him on his first trip to the sandbox back in 2004:

Another pillowcase was just out of brown camo material made for a travel pillow he has that is smaller than regular, and then on the inside there was a cute little elephant that was holding up an "I love you" sign with his trunk. I put it on the inside so it'd be "our little secret" to share.

He loved both of them.

I sent my DH a glow in the dark skeleton pillow case at halloween--I bought it early enough that I washed it, sprayed myself with perfume and slept with it for a few nights -- then I put it in a ziplock baggie and mailed it to him -- he loved it! And my DH sleeps with a mouse that says "only love you" that I bought him in GE when I was in the hospital.

That is really cute, to put the mushy thing on the inside so its a secret :)

i did a "foot box" once, cuz db told me his boots were destroying his feet.

it just so happened that my mom's woman's day magazine had tips for sore feet in it that month, so i made a copy of it.

i also sent, foot lotion & soak, a giant file & pummice stone, insoles, & tennis ball to roll under his foot for a massage, marbles to put in a bucket with the foot soak, & a pedicure set with files & nail clippers & such. aside from foot stuff, i sent the usual snacks & a card. i got nearly all the foot stuff cept for the insoles at the dollar store.

he quite liked it.
