pm sent to you too ;D
Ok folks, we're really only restricted on what we can send by the size of parcel, shoe box, and weight 2kg max.
We can't send chocolate (bugger should have kept that quiet as could have eaten all the chocolate donations myself ;D) no aerosols, no publications liable to cause offence! and no perishable goods.
What can we send well everything else really.
Clothing, hats, gloves - it gets cold, and ideally black in colour
toiletries so the likes of toothpaste, shampoo, shower gels, roll on deodrants etc
Food - pot noodles, packs of dried food, dried soups, oxo cubes, spices, really anything sealed/dry in small lightweight packaging.
Tea, coffee, hot chocolate sachets etc.
Biscuits (not chocolate!)
Cereals (again think small pkts please)
Crisps, peanuts other snaks.
Sweets (no chocolate)
Puzzle books, paper backs, pens, travel games cards.
I'll try and get parcels sent with the recipent in mind so shout if there is anything specific that you'd like to receive and we'll do our best to send it to you.

it sometimes crashes, but for me, it's been a lifesaver.

We now have 3 recipents for parcels, two are due to deploy soon, I'm still waiting on the BFPO address for the person already in theatre and will get a parcel off as soon as I've got those details.
