This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I could give you a million "reasons" why this didn't happen until now, but they'd all be excuses. But it's finally something I can say I've done. My cousin was recently deployed overseas and I thought now is a better time then ever. I have a face to put with the package. My mom, sister and I put together enough stuff to fill two boxes! Some of the stuff we put in the boxes:
- 5 Hour Energy shots
- Power Bars
- Energy & Protein bites
- Candy (Laffy Taffy, Life Savors, Life Savors mints, cookies, Worthers Originals, Twizzlers)
- Gum
- Maple Syrup
- Crackers
- Chips
- Trail Mix
- Gatorade powder mix / Crystal Lite
- Kleenex, hand lotion, chap stick, toothbrushes, wisps, hand/feet warmers, floss
It was so nice to put together something that was so easy for me to do, that I know will mean so much to my cousin. It makes me want to put together another box for other soldiers. Whether its for soldiers who are deployed overseas or are still in the US, but stationed away from their family.
This is so sweet. I should do this for my cousin too - he was recently deployed. What a precious thing to do.
