Spoke to my OH a few weeks ago & he mentioned it was still about 37 degrees in the day! But very cold at night!!

Send him a buffalo jacket, he will be happier with that then anything else.

Very similar but not my hubby!

I have a mate - young lad - joins up in Feb2014. I want to get him a going away pressie . . Something really useful and practical that he can use and keep.

Budget is £10-£15.

Any ideas - saucy pics would not be appropriate - I'm old enough to be his mother!!!

Gerber/Leatherman multitool (if you can find one for that price) He'll love you forever

Had a think about what sent my hubby on his numerous tours, Pepperami's (thats a bit of a standing joke in out house) babybell cheeses wax covered and they will survive, primula cheese in a tube keeps for months, random sweets, cuppa soups as he used to work strange hours out there, New undies every month when they sweat they can go thru 4 pairs a day, random offensive tshirts, lego, water guns, water bombs, cured venison/boar sausages, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gels (seal them in a seperate bag), stupid games to keep him and the det entertained etc

I used to send him about 8 parcels every 2 weeks, just make sure that the parcels arent over 2kg (4.4lbs) and well sealed with customs labels on which ask you to list exactly whats in the package, Just write on snacks and make them vague as possible as I found the opened the ones with the more complete lists on and left the ones with a vague description.
