Please don't feel obligated to send anything, a few people have asked of some things I've been missing from home, so here are a few things that would be amazing to receive on monthly mail run:
letters! pictures, newspaper clippings from home, funny stories or articles, magazines
granola bars, cliff bars, pop tarts, protein bars, nutrigrain bars - these are great when I'm biking in the "bush"
cheese- any kind that would send well like powered alfredo mix
dried fruit- apples, berries, oh man, anything!
beef jerkey, chicken or tuna packets - anything protein, also those 6-pack crackers- like cream cheese and chives, etc
your thoughts and prayers!
I hear padded envelopes may be slightly cheaper than boxes, also try to send AIR MAIL or it could take 4-6 months to get here. Lastly, just put something generic like "non perishable gifts" with a value under $50 on the declaration form. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
