Well the first package to the guys is on it's way and I am anxious to see the reaction they have. I am sure for the guys some of this stuff is available for them in Iraq but others we thought would not be and be a neat touch. Smarties have to be an old favorite of everyone and I found a few bags of them so they got thrown in the mix as well. M&M's (6+ lbs), peanuts, sunflower seeds, beef jerky, pringles, iced tea mix (regular and raspberry), 4lbs of licorice, a very dark roast coffee, ginger snap cookies, cheez nips , potato sticks, large bag of baby wipes, gum, lifesavers (the mint kind) and some other stuff that is not in the pictures. The CD's are actually DVD's of shows I burned from the TiVo as well as some music that was requested.
A box of ziploc baggies later it was all packed into 2 boxes, 1 medium & 1 small and was on it's way. I used the ziploc's on the items I was concerned about breakage during transit. Item's like the tea mix could make a huge mess if they leak and who wants to hear 6lbs of M&M's rattle around? Some bubble wrap to hold it all in place and now it is time to start prepping the next boxes to go out.
Stay safe guys!
Nice job! They're gonna love those packages.
