Aside from the usually recommended stuf...Hi Chrissi<br />Aside from the usually recommended stuff you could send one of those mini plum puddings (the ones which keep on the shelf of the shop), a santa hat from Crazies or the Reject Shop ($2 for two), I've sent little wire/tinsel Christmas trees (you have to fold one side of them to fit them in the box) and some decorations for the little tree. Just remember that the parcel must weigh 2kg or less.<br /><br />Your magazines could be sent to the troops, but I wouldn't risk sending Zoo to the Middle East, send them to Timor or the Solomons, but just use the regular address for "An Australian Soldier" - you could bundle them up with brown paper and send them as a parcel and keep them under 2kg. That's Life could be put into the boxes for the Middle East, but they're heavy and if the puzzles are done I'd just bundle them up in the brown paper up to 2kg and send them like the boxes but wrapped in the brown paper.kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006292833388885256.post-24708097293992032782011-11-04T16:15:22.972+11:002011-11-04T16:15:22.972+11:00Hi

If the food items are sealed they should be OK.<br /><br />The addresses given by DOD to AFPOs are to Australian Field Post Offices, they only go to Australians.<br /><br />I buy a pack of envelopes (100 self seal letter size) and little note pads (A5) of writing paper ($2 for a pack of six from Crazy Prices) so that if they can reply they have something to write on - and plenty to write home if they can't get to internet access.<br /><br />The boxes have the address lines on the front and on the back the sender's details can be filled in. One person must complete the customs' douane and sign the douane and the box and must present their driver's licence.<br /><br />All the information you need is here:<br /><a href="http://oceanskykhaki.blogspot.com/2010/11/all-information-you-need.html" rel="nofollow">http://oceanskykhaki.blogspot.com/2010/11/all-information-you-need.html</a> Please note that the addresses normally used are not the Christmas addresses.kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006292833388885256.post-71939214148632550082011-11-03T19:19:33.404+11:002011-11-03T19:19:33.404+11:00Are we able to gift wrap the items in the care par...Are we able to gift wrap the items in the care parcel etc soap so the scent doesn't go onto the food items , my work place is hoping to get 10 care parcels together .
