Valentine's Deployment Package

Since it is now after Valentine's Day, and he already got his package, here is what I sent my husband for the day of love <3 .="" p="">

There are 2 packages of Nutella To Go, 4 chocolate cakes-in-a-jar, Twizzler bites, lifesaver gummies, Blow Pop minis, Mike and Ikes, Hot Tamales, chocolate and white chocolate dipped pretzels with valentine sprinkles, conversation hearts, valentines PEZ, Lofthouse heart cookies,  chocolate m&m cookies and plain m&m cookies (in pringles cans for protection). Pretty much everything non-melty from the valentine candy aisle. My husband said everything arrived safely, except some of the pretzels broke. Now he'll go into a sugar coma from eating it all.

Christmas Deployment Package


My husband is deployed. So, he didn't get too much for Christmas. We'll get him some things when he gets back, but I wasn't about to ship a bunch of stuff to him that he didn't need or couldn't use. So I decided to just send him some fun things this year.
For his Christmas package I did a "12 Days of Christmas". I scoured the internet for ideas, including lists of things people usually send to military members. Here is what I came up with.

1st day of Christmas -1 game of Battleship
2nd day of Christmas -2 cans of Pringles (he likes chips)
3rd day of Christmas -3 Fiber One bars (he is on some health kick)
4th day of Christmas -4 bags of combos
5th day of Christmas -5 hot chocolate accessory sets (marshmallow snowmen, peppermint sticks...)
6th day of Christmas - a card game of Fact or Crap (there were 48 cards, so '6' x8)
7th day of Christmas -7 small bags of candy (peppermints, candy coal, and orange jelly candies since we always get oranges in our stockings)
8th day of Christmas -8 bags of popcorn (4 different flavors)
9th day of Christmas -9 hot cocoa mixes (3 different flavors)
10th day of Christmas -a pair of Christmas-y socks, so he'll have 10 comfy toes.
11th day of Christmas -11 chocolate candy canes
12th day of Christmas -a tin with 12 gourmet butter cookies in it.

I had a little room left in the box, so I sent him some chocolate pudding, a travel sized nutella (comes with little bread sticks for dipping), and a back massager (it's plastic and looks like a hand). He says he'll put out a tip jar now and offer back rubs for his buddies.
