Tis the season! It’s time to start thinking of what you’ll be sending your friends & loved ones again this year.
Here are even more fun ideas…
Great Combo Gift Ideas
Sometimes the best gift is also the easiest gift to send to someone far away (…like a gift basket).
For what it’s worth, I always prefer to give “combo” gifts, rather than giving someone just one item. And gift baskets are great for that!
The following military gift baskets really take the cake because they’re combo gifts, they’re filled with the best items, and they’re the quickest & easiest gift to send!
Best Care Packages For U.S. Military Members
These are the best because:
- They’re prepackaged to include “the best of the best” items.
- These care packages were created with U.S. military in mind.
- The recipient receive a bunch of individual items, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.
- They’re available in a variety of different “themes”.
- FPO extra shipping has already been added into the price of these items. APO is also available — simply choose “APO” or “FPO”.
Enjoy!
What is APO? What is FPO? (This is a layperson’s guide to overseas military mail.)

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money — so I write about “outside the box” ideas that most wouldn’t think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I’m truly passionate about. I’ve worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
