    Here you all go :D I'm absolutely going to do this, our troops are amazing :T flumps and 10p fillers are ideal :rotfl:
    http://www.operationshoebox.co.uk/page19.php

    Please find below a list of all the items that are really welcome out in Afghanistan. To help you we have to tried to categorise these into groups, please try and include a variety of items from the various groups. It is much more fun to receive a box filled with variety than for example a box of soups or toiletries. Please remember fun sized packs are much more ideal and will add to the variety you can send, more so than family or bulk packs. The top 20 requested items are highlighted in red!

    We would however ask you to note that we simply cannot accept either chocolate, marzipan, aerosols, sharp or inflammable objects and with respect for the traditions of the country our troops are serving in we would ask you NOT to include any alcohol or adult magazines which may cause offence and may risk the recipient facing disciplinary action.

    And don't forget to inlude a personal note or message if you would like to.
