Sending shoeboxes?

I don't think you can send aerosols but roll ons or stick types should be ok. They can buy that sort of stuff out there, but not necessarily their preferred brands!

I'm doing it through these guys http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=137786816248806

Aparently the soldiers are going mad for Haribo sweets, especially Tangtastics, we have also started to send them lots of hot chocolate/coffee sachets and packets of SuperNoodles.

My friend sent me a box when I was out there with the best thing ever in them! Wax strips! I was made up as we were only allowed 30 second showers! lol

Oooh and I always go to the beauty counters and ask for samples to send to my friends, a nice treat to remind them they are girls!

My husband always likes a viz mag, winegums, thorntons fudge (seems to cope with heat better than choc) and sachets of cappacine or hot chocolate. Haribos are also popular apparently I think i'll also send some mens face moisturiser. Hope this helps x

No aerosols of any kind. One got out to the patrol base where my husband was and the idiot who got it dumped it in the "poo loo" - where some poor bloke has to set fire to the poo bags. He was injured by the aerosol when it exploded. Seriously, don't send.
