Knowing exactly what to send to your spouse while you are away is not always second nature, but it does not have to be over-complicated! I have gathered some good recommendations of what to send to make that distance that much easier. If you’re ready to wow your spouse, read on!
Top 10 Recommended Items to Wow Your Spouse From a Distance!
1.Those transportable games that kids love? My wife spent over an hour during a long road trip playing with one of our son’s games. From foam footballs, sporting electronic games, Frisbees, Hacky Sacks, playing cards, and even yo-yo’s, these items surprisingly will be a hit.
2.Toothpaste, floss, eye drops, lip balm, lotion, pain relievers, hair products, etc. Choosing their favorite brands they use at home will let them know you are thinking about them and bring some comforts of home.
3.Cotton socks and underwear. Make sure the garments are made of 100 percent cotton rather than a cotton blend.
4.Reading material such as, paperback books, current magazines, comic books and even word games and puzzles will be a big hit to help them pass the time.
5.Phone cards are a great thing to send so that your spouse does not have to purchase their own cards when they have a free moment to call you. You will be able to shop around to get the best price for international calls.
6.A small scrapbook filled with mementos from home is a great way to reconnect with your loved one while they are away. Did you have a great family vacation last year? Or do you have ticket stubs from the last baseball game you went to? These are great reminders of home and will let your spouse know you are thinking of them.
7.A homemade CD or downloaded into ITunes of your spouse’s favorite songs. You can include a few personal songs that you know will make them think of you like your first dance song from your wedding.
8.Homemade goodies, such as cookies or brownies are another great way to let your loved one know how much you care for them. Just be sure to pack these in an airtight container so they will arrive in good condition.
9.Easy to eat protein-packed items like beef or turkey jerky’s, tuna, energy bars, summer sausage are great examples.
10.Along with your personal letters, consider sending self-addressed envelopes with stamps too! These are one of the best ways to connect with your spouse. You are guaranteed to wow no matter how much or little you write, because at the heart of your letter is something they love-YOU!
