So, what else can I put in a shoebox to send out to Kandahar other than food?

I'm sure he'll be sick to death of Haribo and Maryland cookies any time now and he's got enough ground coffee to last him the rest of his tour.

I did send the book 1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off and he loved that so I want some fun ideas for future parcels, which must not exceed 2kg in total.

Thank you kindly :)

well apart from the IOU notes and the toilet roll - always a fav with my father (the toilet roll not the notes)

There is boiled sweets of various kinds, allsorts, DVDs or membership to one of the streaming websites if he has a tablet etc.

Photo's of yourself walking etc so that he keeps getting up todate photos. My mother had a dicta phone where she put down her thoughts on tape and sent that to my dad - nice personal little touches like that.

Because I used the name 'Mr Bun the Baker' to some German friends I had to try to describe how the card game worked and ended up buying a set of 'Jaques Happy Families', which we have played with wine accompaniment and much hilarity. Less than a fiver from Amazon. ?

Tights. I was very friendly with a Lt Col in the forces who practically lived in a tank. He used to wear tights under his uniform to keep him warm.
