Do a sexy photo shoot! ;) I know it sounds cheesy, but I'm *sure* he would love it (as my friend in Iraq is forever complaining of his sexual frustration!)

My wife and I were in a long distance relationship for four years before I flew out to meet her and moved in. So we celebrated four years of anniversaries, birthdays and holidays while being apart.
I'd say something meaningful, if you can. Something like... A scarf, ponytail holder, etc. that has you favorite perfume on it. Something that he can see and think of you. Or a good luck charm of some sort. Something little, that he can possibly carry around with him.
Is there a book he'd love to read? Or do you know of a favorite of his? You can get him that and write a note inside.
I'm not sure how things are where he is and if he has time for hobbies, like gaming, etc. But speaking as a gamer myself, a video game he would love to play would probably be good too.
Do you know when he is coming home? Can you get something like movie tickets or plan somewhere to go, something to do and send him that? So he has something fun to look forward to?
These are just ideas and I'm not really sure what guys want, but still. :P Hope they help and hope you find something fun to send him!

My BF is currently deployed to Afghanistan. In his first care package, I got one of those stadium blankets (I bought one from my college) and slept in it for an entire week. I then rolled it up sleeping bag style, then wrapped in two trash bags to keep the scent in. HE LOVED IT!!!!!!! Because he can smell me as he falls asleep, which he finds really comforting.
You might also think about getting him a dog tag embossed with you and him so he can always have it on. I want to do this once I have a cute pic of him and I!

Aw where do you get the embossed ones? I sent him a hand made pillow and a build-a-bear for valentines.. I'm just not sure what I should get him..
He's pretty much good on everything, I might do the picture thing cuz he's been at me to give him pictures for a long time now (not just sexy ones)

When my hubby was deployed, I tried to think of thoughful gifts. Each care package had a theme. For example, for St. Patty's Day I got him Lucky Charms, Irish Spring Soap, green candy, etc. Stuff he could use but was also festive!
By the way, is this "KC" from MSSN?

Well.. now i gotta think of something awesome! I did the pictures (just a few) and wrote a nice letter, but he sent me a necklace from Tiffany's :) I'm super stoked about having this necklace, not for the place its from but what it represents SNOWFLAKE! woo

When I was deployed, my favorite things from home were:
1. Letters from children across the U.S. - this made me almost cry every time. I wrote every single one of them back too.
2. A picture scrapbook from the family/girlfriend - This gave me motivation and something to look forward to.
Tell him thank you and Good LUCK!!!
