First Care Package: sent 10/03/12
I didn't get a picture of the box when it was filled, But I'll give you a rundown of what all was in it.
- Mister loves the smell of Yankee Candle's Macintosh candle, so I bought him a couple of these Travel Tins, and a couple of those hang-off-the-mirror car fresheners. Trying to keep his life non-stinky. :)
- I sent him a couple bottles of hot sauce, because man loves his hot sauce.
- We use Downy Lavender Vanilla dryer sheets, so I sent him a box... Hopefully it'll remind him of home.
- He loves history. Love loves it, especially WWII, so I bought him a couple [or three] books to give him something to read if he has downtime. Later I thought it might not have been my smartest idea to send him war books while he's off fighting one, so I asked him if he wanted me to send him. He actually sounded genuinely excited, so that was good.
- I also sent him a book Men are Better than Women which is pretty raunchy and could be offensive, but it's right up his ally as far as humor goes, so hopefully it'll give him something to laugh about.
- Last, but not least, I wrote him a long letter, and then a couple short ones that he can open throughout the deployment. I figured there would be times he wouldn't be able to call for extended periods, so I wrote one for that situation, I wrote one for if he was missing Little Mister, and scribbled it [left handed] as if Caden had written it. I wrote a couple for him to open on certain dates, just in case a package I send doesn't get there until after the holiday/event. I wrote one for our 'houseaversary' [the date we closed on our house] and just a couple others. I have another stack I am going to send with a later package. Hopefully he likes them as much as I liked making them.
