Question

i want to get a birthday gift for my best friend who is serving over seas.i always send him care packages and burnt cds so i want to make this one a little special.i attached a few links of stuff i was thinking i would get him.please let me know if you think he would like them or if you have any other ideas.he has a million dvds so i dont want to get him any more.i cant get him a gift certificate cause we live in different states and they might not have the store in his state.i guess i should also let you know that he is my x bf but we still love each other very much.we arnt together cause i suffer from severe depression and i have to get myself better before i can take care of someone else. he is coming home in oct and is coming to see me and im going to cook him dinner and make a cake. i might see if there is a concert in my area when he comes but it is so hard to get stuff like that cause i wont know an exact date till like 3 days before he gets home. i am the only one that has been writing to him this whole deployment. a little about him: he will be turning 30 and he likes country music,tattoos,wrestling,beer and he smokes.he is very much into being a soldier and loves his country.he has been in the army for 11 years and is a lifer.thanks for your help!

Answer 1

I really like the double dog tags and you can personalize it with whatever special message you want.  I was actually thinking of getting the same thing for my boyfriend but haven't quite made up my mind.

If he is religious, he may really like the one with the cross though.

Answer 2

i like the lighter the best .  I am a practicle person and would go with something you know he can use like the lighter can i make a sugestion get him a nice 100 dollar gerber multi tool or pocket knife or a really nice zippo that is more than 20 bucks and get in engraved.

I am an armywife and i can tell you my husband loves his gerber multi tools and pocket knives he uses them every day at both work and home he sounds like a country boy and wold apreciate that

or if you know he needs some nice military gear like a camel back or and assult pack check out these sites listed in my sources its expensive but i guarantee you he will  apreciate it especially where he is at

Answer 3

If he smokes then the lighters are great :-) You could also get him lighter fluid to go with it.
