Does anybody have any somewhat unique ideas of things to send over in care packages?
I've sent a lot of the things DB can really use, but it is all fairly non-exciting lol. I want to surprise him with things!

Any good ideas ladies? I know you all are very creative! TIA!!:D

I use this site for creative ideas.

Do you have a limit on money? A friend of mine just send her hubby a portable dvd player, but made him a dvd of her, and her children and stuff like that. She carried it around with her for a couple of days taking video of stuff.

Um lets see. You could make a card, some cookies with little messages on them.

Im getting dh a PSP for his first package.. It will be a fathers day themed one...

I'll PM you if that's okay.. :giggle

I'll PM you if that's okay.. :giggle

yes go right ahead and PM:D !

Good ideas everyone!!

I'll PM you if that's okay.. :giggle

Ooooo!! Are they naughty?! (Oh gawd, I need hubby home...lmao)

PM me too please!! I need ideas also!!

I'm looking into buying a small camera that takes video images and can burn them to a disc, so I can take movies of dd right after she's born, that way dh can watch it from his laptop. I do the cookie thing too, but I get creative and make unusual ones. I make enough to share, his unit loves it!!

I always send a cd with pics from home... And my husband is a foodie, so I send lots of snack packaged things, like cheez-its and all that so he can shove them in his pocket and eat them in the truck. He's addicted to Sports Beans, I buy them for the whole det now... Jelly Belly makes them and they are jelly beans with vitamins and whatnot in them! I order them from their website.

I'll PM you if that's okay.. :giggle

PM me and tell me too!! lol.

well i like to cut out things from magazines and make him signs...here is the one i just made him tonight! i made him a really cute one last time but didn't take pictures of it! he loves it though. also im working on making him an important dates sign with birthdays, anniversaries, and other important things on it so he can remember...he tends to forget even when hes not deployed :lol

that's a good idea Chelsea!!:) very cute

those 20 question hand held games. they are pretty tiny and lots of fun.

that's a good idea Chelsea!!:) very cute

thanks! he liked the first one i sent him so i figured id send another one! :)

I bought DH one of those hand held games from Walmart..it was under 20 bucks over in the kids toy section and he said all the guys always borrowed it from him..I got him the tetris one.

One thing I did for my wife is I slept with the same shirt on each night for 3 days or so. You would think it smelled real bad but it didn't. After the 3 days were up I sprayed it with the cologne she likes to have me wear and sealed it up in a big ziploc bag. Another person on here put up a canned cake recipie so I am making that for her as well. I really have not sent stuff like dvd's or etc because there are sticky fingers on that ship and I would be upset if someone took her dvd player. I think I might still send her one but I am going to make it so its one you cant miss. I am going to take it apart, spray paint the case a flouresecent orange color and put some markings on it saying its hers. I do not think anyone would be dumb enough to take something THAT bright, lol.

i would tape some of my husbands fav. t.v. shows. all the guys seemed to enjoy that
