So, this popped up on Facebook the other day and I thought it would be great to send a couple of care packages to our troops in the Middle East for Christmas. I know it’s been going on for years but this is the first time I’ve seen the address pop up in front of me.

If you keep the parcel under 2 kg, Australia post send it free.

I bought two postage boxes (for a male and female) and then went shopping, having to fill each box but keep it just under 2 kg. I chose food stuffs over toiletries as they are heavy and you wouldn’t get much in for 2 kg.
This is the tip of the iceberg as far as what you can put in there. I just thought they’d like things that they haven’t tasted in a while. A bit of fun! I also added a pack of Twinings Australian Afternoon tea, a good pair of socks and an Aussie Christmas card, thanking the soldier for their service and a wish that they stay safe.

It all packed up well and I was just under the 2 kg mark. Each box cost about $40 to put together

If you’d like to send a box of cheer, the cut off point is December 8th.
