Thanksgiving ideas for soldiers?
My husband is currently on his 2nd tour in Afghanistan. Today he called me and asked if I could send some thanksgiving decorations for the tent that he works in (he’s an aid station medic). I sent Halloween decorations, and I was planning on sending Christmas but I have no clue what to do about Thanksgiving. I went to Target, couldn’t find anything, same with Wal-mart. I never decorate for thanksgiving so I’m kinda clueless on what would be easy and not too expensive to send. My husband is the only married soldier out of the guys he works with so I can’t get help with the costs from the other wives in the unit. But what type of decorations would work for thanksgiving? It can’t be in the way or too big?
Are you in area of the U.S. where the color of foliage changes in the fall?!
Send some leaves – Oak, Maple, Acorns,etc…..
find a basket shaped like a Cornucopia, fill it with hard candy, tootsie roll,etc…
Fall colored streamers, unfoldable pumpkins, turkeys are some things that you could buy to send. And they’re all inexpensive. WalMart, Kmart, or Michaels would carry stuff like that.

go to like your local dollar tree or some place like that- usually they have fall type decorations and things like that pretty cheap…. just look for anything in fall colors or turkeys or something…. good luck 🙂

Try party city. It’s a store with all kinds of decorations. I think they even have a website. Good luck and thank him and you for your sacrifices.

We normally decorate with fall colored leaved on strands little pumpkins and gourds etc
Go to a party store or a dollar store. They normally have cute little trinkets that would work.

Best bet would be the dollar store, thats where i would get my stuff to decorate my cubicle when i was working. And right about know you could probably also find stuff for xmas too.
