A wotif.com gift voucher in the currency of the place will be a super treat and lasting memory.

They really need the socks and will enjoy the fun surprise. Posted on 11/28/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Lightweight Gift Ideas for Family Overseas By spinlake (2) Profile Contact My name is Chuck Spinner. In January of 2008 I published a book of the beautiful and inspiring favorite prayers of 118 wonderful celebrities. The work is entitled A Book of Prayers: To the Heavens from the Stars. The book would make a great Christmas gift for the military personnel overseas. Included among the famous people who have sent in their favorite prayers are Oscar winners; Heisman trophy recipients; Olympic gold medalists; four-star generals; a Nobel Peace Prize recipient; and even a monarch and three former Miss Americas. Prayers have come from the only pitcher to have hurled a perfect World Series game; from the player who hit the shot heard round the world, from the only two-time Heisman trophy winner; and from the only undefeated four-time NCAA wrestling champion. Former Cleveland Browns All-Pro lineman, Doug Dieken, wrote the Foreword for the book. The book highlights both religion and history and illustrates that athletes, entertainers, and governmental officials can and do provide positive models for prayer in ones life. Generals Norman Schwarzkopf and Tommy Franks have prayers in the book. Check out the books website (http://abookofprayers.com) for details on the book, my bio, a sample section from the book, and ways in which the book can be purchased. The book can be obtained through Amazon.com or simply by ordering through the publisher by calling 888-280-7715. The book is recommended in this months (Nov. 2008) Bookshelf section of the Catholic Digest. I was also thrilled to have signed books at the Notre Dame bookstore on Sept. 27th before the ND  Purdue football game. God bless your child who is serving our country through military service. I hope that your child enjoys and is inspired by the favorite prayers of the wonderful celebrities in my book of prayers! Merry Christmas.

What about those mini-whatevers (Zen garden, ticker-tape parade, bonsai, etc...) from Border's?

At another dollar store I bought them each a pair of toe-socks to co-ordinate with their scarf. Each prezzie cost around $7 each and the scarves look very expensive. I even had a few friends from work pay me to knit some for them! They won't weigh much and won't cost too much to post. Personal presents made well in advance of xmas!

Looking forward to other suggestions coz I have family overseas as well.

(Beacause it added too much weight) If they are overseas, maybe there are food items they cannot get over there. I send things like Pop Tarts, Top Ramen, Kool-Aid, etc. Posted on 11/27/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Lightweight Gift Ideas for Family Overseas By lindal (91) Contact How about gift cards to companies that will ship overseas that they might like, and that have web-sites to order from. A digital camera if they don't have one, or web-cam might be super gifts, too. Posted on 11/06/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse
