One of my brothers is going to boot camp in about a week, and the other is going next summer… what are some ideas for a going away gift that he would be able to use there? He doesn’t need a phone card as he has a nationwide plan on his cell phone (I don’t know if he can even bring it?).
Thanks!
Great answers so far! Thanks!
The first one is going Marine Corp. The other is going to the Air Force Academy.

Marie asked:


This year My family has taken on a project to show our support of our soldiers serving in Iraq. We want to prepare 10 gift holiday boxes for 10 of our troops who don’t have much family. We are putting cookies, bread, and making homemade cards. WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW what are some other ideas to put in the box. Looking for small gifts that would be appreciated & liked, and that they might not have accesses too. We were thinking maybe a couple of books? . Your input would be most appercited & Thank you in advance for helping. Go USA!!
I should also tell you that all 10 soilders are people that know me. I have a couple friends serving over there so I’ve gotten to know a lot of guys before they left.
LOL – To each of them I’m sending them something that I know they’d really like, something personal from me. But my whole family wants to be involved so they want extra ideas since I want it to be a suprise I didn’t want to ask them what they wanted.
