If you don't have a friend or a family member in the service you at least know someone who does. I have family in the service and I think about them ever day. I started my Military Care Package section because I know how excited soldiers get when mail call comes and they get something special from home.

Today's special is.....

American Pride!

Regular Price: $64.95 - Sales Price: $49.95 - A 23% discount!

If you don't personally know a soldier, but want to send something to show your appreciation, you can go to our adopt a soldier program and send a personal thank you :)

Send a thank you gift to a soldier

Every year on December 25 the majority of Americans pause and enjoy the Christmas holiday. While Christmas has very clear ties and one of the largest religious celebrations for the Christian Church it is also a cultural holiday, with celebratory activities enjoyed by Christians and non Christians alike.

Christmas is a time of generosity, love and celebration. For children young and old it is a time to give and receive holiday cheer and enjoy traditions new and old.

This year, we have added a new Send a gift to the Troops campaign. This program helps customers send a Christmas Thank You gift to an anonymous soldier. We have a list of soldiers that we can send gifts to as well as their wish lists. If you are interested in sending a military care package this year. Just send us an email or contact us at 800.846.1078.

Have a safe and Happy Holiday!

Military gifts for the active soldier

A military gift is a great way to brighten a soldier's day, whether it is a soldier you know or not. There are many great organizations that have regular drives to collect such gifts. By donating you are not only doing something that you makes you feel good, you are doing something to brighten the day of someone who is going to great length's to protect and serve this great country of ours, The United States.

But what do you wonder can you give?

Lets start with some of the basics that anyone from home may want and need.

1. Snacks: You know there are some goodies here you can't get in other countries. Why not pack up some potato chips, pretzels, can soda, cookies, granola bars, hard candies, sunflower seeds, beef jerky, nuts, jelly beans, etc and put them in some nice care packages?

2. Bathing necessities: Bath soaps, lotions, body powders, deodorants, wash cloths, soft towels, toothpaste and brush, shampoos, conditioners, mouth wash, disposable razors, shaving creams, etc.

3. Stationary products. Pens, pencils, envelopes, funny cards, etc.

4. Lip balm.

5. Disposable cameras

6. Long distance phone cards

5. Socks

12. Body wipes, hand wipes and antibacterial creams

13. Shampoos that require no water

14. Flashlight and extra batteries (all sizes)

15. Ziplock bags

16. Coffee, Gatorade
