Does anyone know what to put n care gift baskets for troops in Iraq?

Does anyone know what to put n care gift baskets for troops in Iraq? the gfts would go to my cousin. He is in Iraq. I would like if the ideas were said by people who were in Iraq or know someone who wanted something or had it. But anything will help. THanks!!!!!

I'd go with Ra men noodles, beef jerky, some type of chips( they might get smashed, but they won't melt) if he can get to the AAFES they have portable dvd players so movies are good... I'd say jolly ranchers but they actually start to melt this time of year (hottest day on record was 142 degrees, probably hotter but thermometer didn't go any higher).Books, mags CD's of whatever is current remember the year there the whole world keeps moving but time stopped for him the minute he left CONUS. Pictures from home, girls, pets, buds,family... If he doesn't already have it a PSP or an Ipod to help kill downtime, most of the guys I was with had a laptop so I could have ripped music from their computers which helps keep you sane, and everybody who had the PSP was playing multiplayer vs type games. Don't try to do all this yourself, it gets waay expensive so maybe you can split this up between family and friends, church groups.... the support base we get is huge so just ask around and always remember whatever he gets that he can't use there is always another guy in the platoon who will always be glad to get something. God Bless and Semper FI!
