Birthday in a Box

Send your soldier Birthday in A Box.

Go to the party store or Oriental Trading and get funny stuff like GI JOE, Hannah Montana, Spongue Bob, Over the Hill etc:
  • cups
  • party hats
  • plates
  • napkins
  • noise makers
  • treat bags
  • streamers
  • Oriental Trading has personalized banners
  • pinata (and the treats to go inside it)
  • cookies or cupcakes (keep the icing on the side)
  • video of you, family and friends wishing him a happy birthday
  • cake in a jar
  • even a birthday cake!
  • regular balloons
  • helium balloons already inflated (tell them you are shipping it and to make it extra full)

Send this to him if you think he will "invite" his friends or send it to one of his buddies so that he can properly embarrass him on his big day!

  1. My husband's birthday is in two days. Luckily his mom has sent a "birthday" box, but I'll definitely have to put this into consideration later. I always teased him that he really needed a Hannah Montana calendar to take over there. He opted for Chuck Norris, haha.

    Anyway, saw this a bit ago, and thought that it might be inspiration for another package -- "toys": http://storypaintings.blogspot.com/2009/01/care-packages.html
