Today, we got our very first care package!!! Thanks Mom and Tony! It was an incredible feeling seeing that box with our names on it! We eat just fine over here, but to get a care package full of goodies like beef jerky and fruit snacks just makes the heart happy!
So now, have I made you want to send us stuff?! 🙂 We have had several people ask us for a list of stuff that we miss and how to send something. So if you are one of them, here is the information! And make sure you read the best way to mail items at the bottom! My parents found out the hard way, because we failed to tell them to use flat rate.
Food:
Fruit Squeezes (flavored applesauce pouches…the kids love them!)
Fruit snacks
Fruit by the foot
Dum dums (or any suckers)
Any kind of candy!
Peanut butter!!! (my all time favorite is Walmart Great Value, no stir creamy Natural)
BJ loves any gourmet coffee or Dunkin’ Donuts coffee!!
Jill loves any green/herbal tea!
Annie’s white Mac and Cheese
Beef jerky
Crushed red pepper (BJ’s stock is low, and he eats it on pizza!)
Toys:
Stickers
Coloring books
Crafts
Kid’s scissors
Glue sticks or bottle (for crafts)
Others:
Sunscreen (the quality is not that good here, and it’s ridiculously expensive)
Magnetic Grocery lists
Stationary
Acoustic Guitar Strings (BJ just bought a cheapo guitar, but they don’t sell all of the strings!)
Hand soaps
Candles
A Magazine
A picture of your family
**Anything else that is practical or fun!
Sending suggestions:
Flat rate from the post office is the way to go. Claim all things broadly but don’t lie (example: if you bought skittles, just write “candy”). If you wrap items they will be less likely to be snatched/confiscated. It takes about 4 weeks to get here. Double wrap/ziploc foods, candles, etc. PNG rats love chocolate/peanut butter and will work hard to chew their way through!
