Christmas Present Ideas For Soldier Boyfriend

My son spent two tours in Iraq with the USMC. Submit his name to any organization doing care packages, and send him anything that will help him keep in touch with you and the rest of his family. Phone cards and prepaid postcards come to mind. Be sure you send him pertinent phone numbers/addresses, just in case he's forgetful. Perhaps you could put a pic of yourself in a non-breakable frame (think artistic matting) and include that with your next letter. Especially if he'll be on duty on the holiday itself, he's sure to appreciate even the smallest gift. God bless you for sticking with your man while he's far from home, and God bless him for his sacrifice for us all.

Find out what his interests are and make him something personal, like cookies or a leather belt his size. Remember that when a friend is far from you, geographically, you can inadvertently daydream about him into something he isn't and then fall in love with a fantasy without any comparison to the reality of daily or weekly in-person visits. So, one gift you can give him is the freedom to be who he really is and give yourself the liberty to grow into the woman you choose to become. Watch out for your own heart.

I was wondering if anyone knew of some gift ideas for a soldier. My boyfriend is in the army, and I was wanting some ideas on what to send him for Christmas.
