The last care package I mailed out had a pair of handknit knee-high boot socks in it for a buddy. And it was lost. I'm still pretty bitter about that.

DH always loved nuts and dried fruit. I often made trips to Trader Joes to pick those up, along with some of their triple ginger cookies.

I also sent some of the silly stuff from the $1/$2 bins at target. Cheesy little games and such...

One of H's buddies got him to drink the paleo kool-aid (oh dear).

Single-serving healthy snacks are ALWAYS a hit :-) I think you have a really good list there. Remember as things draw down, chow hall hours will be cut, and there will be fewer options. Some places are already down to MREs for certain meals, so I think food items like @ojo listed are going to go over really well.

H has a really tiny amount of storage space, and I send a care package with him to open half way. But he is a huge fan of those Mio water flavor squeezes. They make a ton of flavors and some of them have caffeine I guess, so those are a big hit

Costco had a three pack of a brand called Refreshers. I sent those out a few weeks ago and forgot all about it. H said he got to try a packet of Starbucks...are those called Refreshers too? They're fruit flavored with a hint of caffeine. I saw some at Target but haven't bought any because they're as pricey as a legit Starbucks drink.

Thanks! I'll have to take a look next time at Costco
