Question: My husband is in Iraq what should I send as a care package? am not sure what is permitted and what is not

Answer: Oh, I sent lots of packages. I can't remember them all, but here are a few.\n\nOne was to "keep it cool" (since it gets hot there)- pitcher, kohl-aid packets, ice tea packets, small battery operated fan, ice cream flavored Baskin Robins candy, deodorant \n\nChristmas package (it is that time if you celebrate)-small tree already decorated. You can wire the ornaments on so they will stay through the mail, a stocking stuffed with goodies.\n\nDid you send him a pillow yet? My husband always wanted a nice pillow, so of course, I sprayed it with my perfume.\n\nPicture frames with pictures of you!!! Lots of love letters!\n\nI sent some cheap $1 DVDs from Wal-Mart for him to play on his laptop. Comedies. And popcorn (already popped unless he has a microwave.)\n\nAt Wal-greens you can make all kinds of fun stuff with\npictures. A puzzle of a personal picture of just you\nor the two of you is $20 (Kind of expensive)\n\nCopies of the town/city newspaper will remind him of\nhome. I know our newspaper will mail it there\nfor free. \n\nThe dollar store has cheap, fun games, like chess,\ncheckers, cards and dominoes. \n\nAlso, you can pack things in empty paint cans and decorate\nthe outside of them with modgepodge and pictures or\nmagazines. \n\nThose are the only ones I remember right now!
