Many of the Camps don't have a base exchange which means they can't even buy the simplest "amenities". Here's some suggestions:

DVD's

CD's

Any nonperishable food items (cookies, candy, gum, granola bars -- always welcome)

hand sanitizer

chapstick

small individual packages of kleenix

disposable cameras (take a photo of the person packing the camera and then put it in the stocking!)

Wet ones

Hard Candy

gum

dental floss

toothbrush

toothpaste

deodorant

shaving cream

disposable razors

pen/mechanical pencil (with lead)

eye drops

shampoo

bug spray

sunscreen

small flashlight with a BLUE bulb -- not WHITE (remember the battaries)

Lotion

small alarm clock

AT&T calling cards

tiny little "personal" fan (remember the battaries)

clip on lights (remember the battaries)

Tourist type" items indigenous to your area: -- playing cards, Yo-yos, harmonicas, guitar picks

Use your imagination!
