OK, we'll go with 12 filled ones for sure, and a few more if I can get another troop involved. I was thinking the girls could get some small things like bags of hard candy (not individually wrapped), sunflower seeds, disposable razors, hand lotion, chapstick, and if I can swing a discount, some Thorlo socks which are just awesome for wearing with boots! How about I plan to make half for men and half for women? I can get some little bottles of scented shower gels for the ladies and women's razors. We'll have some fun with this, and I'm planning to send them directly to Kirkuk; McLynnan sent me the address.
Those are great ideas!!!!! I will go work on this tomorrow. I was thinking the chapstick (I buy 4 or so sticks every time I am at walmart, building me a little box now). Also have some of the individually wrapped Wet Ones.
Ladies you are awesome!!!
I am so sorry to say I can't afford to fully fill my stockings :( I may be able to pick up some things but not much. My first grader has volunteered to make pictures but I am sure our troops would love more then that.
