He's leaving for Iraq....I want to make him a goody basket that he can take with him. He's 25 and an officer in the Army, what do you think would be helpful to him?
--------------------
like every one else he will be taking pretty much what he can carry with him so would keep the "goody basket" down to the bare minimum is you can, maybe a nice photo album with pictures of all the family if you have time maybe each person could put in a little note from them to him [think sort of like a scrap book but small scale] and then once he has gone start getting a weekly parcel ready of his fave stuff, also some baby wipes and think of things that he likes but might be hard to get hold of over there, maybe a new book of his fave author that sort of thing.............but try and make sure it is pretty much all disposable as when he comes back again he will not be able to carry too much. My son is there [or close ish] and I have been sending deodorant [they don't have the one he likes over there] I get the little travel sizes of some of the items he likes, plus some silly stuff to share out with the others all of which other than letters and pictures he can give on to the next guys or dump out...................also when I do buy him something I send a picture of it and let him know it is waiting for him when he gets back.
