Bombay mix
Small annoying puzzles
Top trumps
Humbugs
Savory treats, cheese twists etc. as many people send sweets
Patriotic flags
Shower gels and posh soaps (aerosol cans are now removed by the BFPO)

Also send what you like. I was recently out in theatre and we were passing out many parcels to the troops. All I know is that the boys in the FOBs were very grateful. It annoys me that the MOD has some ridiculous policy of sending presents only to personally known troops. I say send them and we'll deliver them. It is a small amount of joy for people who have an indescribable time.
