My fiance is in the army too. Is he over seas, training or what? I got him a St. Christopher's medal with our initial engraved on the back with a heart. That way he knows I'm always thinking of him.

Anything from you will be special no matter what, My husband went last year over seas i sent him plus his men One small christmas tree and several little wrapped gifts for he and each man so they could have christmas together so they wouldnt be alone I packed a canned ham, yams,canned egg nog, what ever they could put in microwave. And the wrapped gifts were puzzles, razors, pens, paper, word maze books, just small things so they had something to open he and the men all sent thanks home and said it really made it easier for them to make it through the season send lots of dis cameras, poatage and phone cards (sams Club) cheaper and lots and lots of prayers get the schools and churches in your area to send cards it helps them more than you can know God Bless

Get a variety pack of occasion cards and even put in a sheet of postage stamps. It will make it easier for him to drop a quick line to his family & friends. Include some addresses of others you know he would want to write in case he does not have there addresses. You can buy the variety packs of cards at the dollar store for about $2-3 dollars for a set of 12-to 24 all occasion.
Also send small individual sizes of snack packs like chips crackers etc. Like they sell for kids in school in the 24 variety count box sold in your stores chip isle.
Make him a book mark with your picture on it with a special poem you have written or even copied, by using hard stock paper, hole punch, ribbon loop through it, etc. If he reads he can always have you near by to be reminded of your love and patience. Christian book stores sells lovely inspirational bookmarks. You could include a small pocket size bible for him.

My son just got back from Iraq. He said he really liked the soft blanket I sent, and the care package I made up for him;
Micro wave popcorn. Beef Jerky, instant mac and cheese, a small micro wave dish to cook it in.
a small fake tree with home made decorations on it,and twinkle lights.Make a Christmas stocking and. Fill it with little things, Home made cookies, Tasty Cakes,(they last a long while). Also instant soups. If hes in Iraq, the weather there in winter is cold as here. Just because the day temps can reach 130, it still gets cold at night. A special throw, socks, Ziploc bags, phone cards. Remember if you send aftershave, don't forget to put it in a Ziploc bag, just in case it leaks. DvDs, there is no really tv from my understanding.Even hand held games that he might like. Let your mind run wild with ideas. There is no wrong ideas. Good luck! And God Bless him!

You may want to check out the selection at http://www.minimus.biz. They have a great selection of travel-sized merchandise, and sell individual servings of all kinds of food items. For example, in their condiment section, you can find Horseradish Sauce, Mustard, Seafood Cocktail Sauce, Orange Marmalade, and Jellied Cranberry Sauce. They also have personal items, and some great beverage choices. They even ship to military addresses too, although I don't know if that's extra or not.

Well, wherever he is, he would love lots of pictures from home. Get a big Christmas card and have everyone sign it. Make a tape(audio or video) of everybody sending Christmas messages. If he's out of the country food and magazines are good. Best Christmas wishes to both of you.
