Before He Left Letters
I wrote notes for every week all year (it took forever!). Not knowing what communication would be like, I figured this would give him a sense of home no matter what happened. I send them in his bag before he left, so he has been opening one every week. I also included special ones for holidays/birthday.

Before He Left Box
I didn't take photos of this,
but we bought the following and shipped it before he left:
Toiletries he loves in large bottles
Mattress Pad (think college status)
Comfy Sheets (dark colors)
Extra blanket (fleece type)
Good Pillow
It arrived about a week after he got there and he says this was the best box he ever got. It makes it so much more comfortable to be there for a long time.
After the arrived he asked for the following:
Serge Protector
Small lamp with clip for bed
Alarm Clock that runs on Batteries
FootLocker to store things in

The Start of Boxes
Once we knew he was really leaving, I started grabbing ideas for boxes when I could find things cheap. I kept them in a big bag under my bed and then the first week he left popped up all the boxes and started sorting. It was a good start to the themed boxes and left plenty of space for perishables I would buy to add in every month (food requests and such).

I wish I had kept better record of what I added in these.
