Hubby did iraq and korea.
Personal Hygeine (think guy / girl stuff ) so like wipes, shampoo, lotion, sanitizer, chap stick (yes even in the desert its necessary), deodorant, body soap, qtips, foot powder, body powder. etc mouthwash toothpaste, toothbrushes floss
First aid anything bandaids, neosporin, hydrogen peroxide. those hand warmers are nice, tylenol the caplets not the gel caps as those melt. and disposable heating pads are nice as well.
Food - Anything that is non perishable that can be eaten either with a microwave or is like a snack. If you send anything homemade vacuum seal it. ITs about 10 days from stateside to overseas. The holidays its about 16-19 days.
Entertainment. Movies, Cds, Magazines etc. If you know you are sending to a guy, porn is great but its technically not allowed. I sent hubby porn (only wife in his unit to do so btw so that was funny) and after a year he should have had a collection of about 500 movies (not just porn ) and a few hundred magazines. Yeah he didn't come home with any of that lol. I sent books, video games etc.
Phone cards to call home are also nice.
