I have sent harmonicas.  Lots of yo-yos and hackey sacks.  I sent a set of dice and a copy of the rules for Bunco after mentioning my Bunco group in a letter and my guys asking what Bunco was. 

It's such fun connecting here AND on Facebook!  :)  Anything to help with the soldier support network. 

I am registered on that site and they DO pay out.  Another is Clear Voice Surveys.  I've had good luck with them, as well.

I am still here, too!  I haven't been on this forum much at all in the past year because I haven't been on Anysoldier much.  Nearly all of my contacts this year were folks I had supported on previous tours and they didn't register this time around, knowing they already had a base of support.   They are all heading home ...

I got a super fun deal at Walgreens today.  They had signs marking their Halloween candy down 50% but there were no original prices posted.  I asked the manager what the prices were and she said the gummi candy was $1 a bag.  These were 11 lb 14 oz bags with 54 indidual bags inside.  I said, "Cool!  My guys in Iraq ...
