You could send quite a few things, actually. My college always holds these drive for various organizations, and one of the largest is for soldiers (especially since we got the club for veterans made recently). Mind, I don't remember everything, but this link should give you a list of a good starting point. http://thefuntimesguide.com/2005/09/soldierpackages.php

This guild was founded by a Soldier. Course I'm out as of July. That list is pretty good, but don't send playing cards. Poker chips may be fine, but by the time I got out there I had been given so many sets of cards I generally left some of them their.
Also any hard candy is fine. I don't know why they specified Penut and Plain M&Ms. I wasn't the only one to like the Penut butter.

Recca Hino Interesting, first I've heard of that. They try to keep it down as much as possible- no need to send the peanut butter market plummetting because of a little thing like a salmonella threat. XP Who is this "they" that I speak of? I have no idea. sweatdrop
