I know it's early to be thinking about this but if you give me a minute to explain you will understand why I'm asking now. My best guy friend is in the airforce and will be getting deployed this fall, he isn't going to a warzone which makes me extremely happy but he won't be home for the holidays which makes me very sad too. I was wondering if anyone might have some ideas on stocking stuffers (I'm making him his own stocking) ...the list I have so far is a book, a christmas book, possibly a short story written by yours truely :-) and of course candy. As I said he is my best guy friend and we talk just about every day so i REALLY want to knock this one out of the park but I need some help. Thank you so much in advance!

What can I do next?

I hear that all the troops just GOBBLE up chocolate. So - a Snickers/Twix would be my vote. Or M&Ms to share. I am told that they don't care if it melts - they don't get chocolate over there (due to the melt-factor) and they lick the wrapper b/c they miss it so much.

I sent an Easter package to a troop overseas - here was what other moms suggested I send to him/her in the care package: http://www.mamapedia.com/questions/18403374285755449345

Music, his favorite DVD or Christmas DVD, a mini photo album with pictures of his family and friends. You haven't really told us what he is into...what's his fav sports team? There are lots of smaller gifts with sports team logos you could put in a stocking. Have fun making the gift :)

I've already started my Christmas shopping, so it's not to early.

Just a thought...
card games or a deck of cards
other small games like LRC
snacks, like peanuts
puzzle books - crosswords, sudoko
calling card so he can call you and his family
a photo of you

I'm terrible with gift ideas so I won't steer you wrong there.
