Question Posted Wednesday August 25 2004, 10:43 pm
My boyfriend is currently in the military, and I was wondering about mailing different types of care packages and fun gift letters instead of boring ones... Does anyone have any great ideas of easy and fun things I can send to him? Or any sites that could help a little. Thank you so much!

To please people. Let's see....care packages...for one thing, send something sweet, yes, but that he can use. Because it's really stupid, for instance, to send dvds that he can't watch. Maybe send pictures of things he likes (you, family, i dont know) on a hook with a nail so he can hook it to his bed or something? Or a book you know he likes?

ANYWAYS, if its something love related u wanna send, make a card... dont by one, reminisce about the young days of making your own card and do one for ur boyfriend to let him kno u still care no matter where he is in the world... write him something to live for like a poem... and make sure u let him kno u love him alot... theyre over there doing god only knows what, and anything from the outside world helps them get through the day, some things more than others... peace peace
