I used to send my best friend candy, movies, books I thought she would like, magazines. She also requested cans of spaghettio's.
At one point she sent home a desparate request for new underwear!
We mostly e-mailed her pictures but made sure she had some prints of her favorite spots in the woods and near the ocean. I'd suggest no disposable camera's. We bought her an inexpensive digital camera so she could upload and e-mail us pictures. Memory is so inexpensive now that she would just mail home memory cards for us to transfer to DVD's for her.
Ask what they want. It could be odd stuff. One thing Sue wanted was a pair of real hairdressing scissors for the lady who came to the base. She was using dull kitchen shears and having a real tough time with Sue's tough, kinky hair. We found a beautician willing to purchase the scissors and sent them off.
