I will walk into Hallmark, CVS, Walgreens and even flea markets to find unique and creative cards. (My favorite company is Papyrus - but it's expensive). I collect Peacock themed cards too. However, my silly little cards never seems good enough to send to the people I love when their soldier is about to deploy. I am thinking of starting an idea list of different care packages for the families and spouses of deployed soldiers and send them. Random acts.... popcorn, skittles and a good funny movie? Maybe a box of tissues? Bubble Bath soap. A CD of upbeat, fist pumping, want to dance around in the rain music!
What are some other good ideas?
I always told my husband through college that I needed to begin a website for people looking for gift ideas. I think we could really help some of these spouses feel special on a gloomy day!! There is operation love, but maybe an operation dancing in the rain to give gifts anonymously to women we know need a good pick me up!!
What makes you get out of your funk?
I came from the weekly round up and somehow ended up on this post! I love how thoughtful you are! My husband is deployed right now and I know that even a little note of encouragement would brighten one of my many gloomy days :] Great idea!
