For my Christmas box, I really didn't have much to send... Mister told me he didn't want me spending money to send him things he will just have to throw away or send home, and he is trying to eat healthy, so baked goods, candy, etc. was totally out of the question.
I decorated the box as Christmas-y as I could... And Mister LOVES The Grinch, so I thought that would be totally appropriate. :)
These are those Mio drink flavor things... He said he liked them, and the Commissary on post has them for about a dollar less than everywhere else, so I make sure to include them in every package. And decorate them with whatever theme applies. :) Little Mister helped on the last one. <3
This was a little USB Christmas tree from Target. 6 bucks, and all the lights light up and it was just adorable. I figure it would help him get into the holiday spirit.
This next one was completely free, just made up a little booklet out of tags with 27 things I love about him. It was supposed to be 30... but I ran out of tags... whoops!
And then I put in some letters. I knew I was going to be out of town and wouldn't have any ability to get him a new years package, so I just added a letter for him to open. Hopefully he followed my instructions. :)
Then lastly, I got these from the Dollar store. I don't even know if they worked, I just thought it could be fun for him to have some goofy guns. Plus, they were on sale 2 for 1, so I thought it was worth it. :)
That is it for my Christmas care package. I sent it out on the 13th of November, just to make sure it got to him in time, and he got it in just a couple weeks, so that was great. Geeze, is this deployment over yet? lol
