My honey left last week and I wanted to make sure he had a care package fairly quickly after arriving in country. He kept talking about how much he couldn’t wait to get down range so he could get back to working out. I figured this was the perfect first care package!
Inside:
Current issue of Men’s Health (hopefully he hasn’t read it yet!)
Two three-packs of Mio
Cliff bars
Pistachios
Sunscreen & lipbalm
Ibuprophen
Instant ice packs
Thermacare heat patches for his sometimes cranky shoulder
A little travel clock that tells the temp
And a little love note (of course!)
I can’t wait to hear how he liked it! I’m planning “themed” care packages for this deployment. What types of themes do you think the guys would like?
Hi! Just found your blog and love it! So strange because my husband left the end of June. Im in the process of starting my first packages and want to do some themes so I share what I end up doing! Im still waiting on an address too before I can send them! Thanks for sharing

Aw, thank you, Desiree!! I always make a package knowing my honey will share with his guys, so there’s always extra for them! I’m working on Christmas packages now – they’ll probably be up on the blog next week!
