Send a birthday party in a box. Create a themed party with noise makers, balloons, party hats, place settings and goody bags for about 10 people. Include birthday treats that your soldier can share with friends. Send a digital camera along with the package so they can take pictures and send them home.

Valentines Day
Take an article of your clothing your wardrobe, preferably one that is a favorite to your Soldier. Take this article of clothing and cover it in your cologne/perfume and send it to your Soldier. It will be a sweet reminder of you and one they will be able to hold onto until they return home to you!
Create a notebook for your Soldier. In it write your Soldier love letters and poems. You can also write to them about how you are proud they are serving their county and then pick a date that you will celebrate valentines day when they return! You can also fill your notebook with fond memories you have had together.
Make your Soldier a collage of pictures of the two of you. You can also use magazine clippings to make up words or phrases that represent your relationship. For the girls, add a more personal touch and fill the blank spaces by applying some lip stick and giving the collage a kiss!
Record a video or just your voice and talk about how much you miss your Soldier this Valentines Day and how you want to celebrate the next Valentines Day with them!

Halloween
Send your soldier 'Halloween in a Box'. Send lots of candy in one of the big orange pumpkin baskets! In addition to all sorts of candy and treats, send decoration that the soldiers can put up around their living space. The spider webs we all see at Halloween are a great idea because they are easy to hang.

The CAMOSOCK®, Military Christmas Stocking, was designed to become a true keepsake for the Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airmen or Coast Guardsmen that receives one. Displaying the stocking will become a wonderful addition to any family's Christmas Holiday traditions. |
Send your soldier a small Christmas tree that they can decorate for themselves. Send lights that can be put on the tree as well as hung around their living area. Be sure to pack fun ornaments that can be hung on the tree. If you got your soldier any small gifts for Christmas, wrap them up and write a note saying to put these gifts under the tree and they are not to be opened until Christmas morning!
Make ornaments for your soldier that have a personal touch. Decorate Christmas balls with motivating quotes. Create ornaments that have pictures of family, friend and pets on them!
Create and advent calendar with any theme you want. It could be a religious, motivation or Christmas spirit theme. Behind each calendar day put pictures, quotes or any message you want to send to your soldier to let them know how much they are missed during the holidays.
Send your soldier items that are holiday scented! This way their living area will be filled with scents of Christmas and home! Please note that you cannot send candles but the scented pine cones are always a good idea.
