Thread: what to send for valentines day to hms raleigh?

hi, my hubby is at hms raleigh,

im struggling for ideas what to get and send him for valentines day,, then i have his birthday 8 days later...

we usualy get him something he wants or needs for the outside world but in there what realisticly can i get?

anyone else sending something down?

jo xx

Its difficult cos they're not allowed so much stuff - it seems harsh but it's to get them used to being away without creature comforts.
How about sending some IOUs? Could be for serious/normal stuff like DVDs or breakfast in bed. Or it could be "IOU a week without running a mile and a half".
Gets round the problem of him not being allowed much and will probably perk him up and make him laugh.

You can get some IOU's from amazon (naughty ones included!) or just write them in letters... Write an IOU on A4 laminate it and then cut it all up and he can piece the IOU jigsaw back together (you can tell I have far too much time on my hands!)
not sure what's allowed / not allowed in training.... how about a pair of your underwear / stockings etc with a hint of perfume etc on them...(though may get a name as a crossdresser I suppose!)
I recently sent mine the Edward Monkton Love Story book and he loved that as it said it all but in a lovely non soppy way!

perfect,love the iou's idea! got a few good things in mind, thanks ladies x

Underwear is a good idea.. Saves him shopping for his own for the passing out parade B-)

I sent my OH with a card and we are going to have a night away when he comes back for a triple celebration, because he is missing our anniversary too xx

Chocolate - it always seems to go down well with my OH... love the IOU idea...

so can u send presents and IOUs and will they be kept private or will they read out your saucy promises out to everyone?? lol xx

Depends on the integrity of your man...

Personally, at HMS Raleigh, I've no idea what happens at mail time, mines on a ship and that means all the valentine stuff had to be sent over a week ago, based on when they are likely to get mail drops, even now, I have a feeling he will not get it in time... ... darn it!

If you think as a bonding "thing" he's likely to share then do an IOU .... and let him fill it in maybe?

Oh I know my OH wouldnt share it, I was meaning do the officers read it out or is mail private??x

It's private - they will open packages to stick the probe in and make sure there's nothing suspicious but they won't read things x
