There is a non-profit organization called HeroBox and it's for soldiers who don't get any mail or packages. Once a month on the first of the month, you mail off a package to them for 10 bucks at the post office and the post office gives you the boxes to use. I just signed up and I have a new Hero to write to and send a package to. :) Here is the link in case you're interested. HeroBox
Check it out, it's a great program and 100% deductible on taxes, if that's a concern. The hero gives you a list of things he would like in the following months and you choose what you would like to send. I signed up for six months, but we'll see how it goes and it might become a regular program for me. December 1st is when I'll mail off the first package. I can't wait. He likes to read. I have some great paperbacks for him and he likes music, so that's easy, too.

It's so much fun and the box isn't huge, so you don't have to worry about spending a fortune every month. My guy is really easy to buy for. :)
