The first item is a hand-carved wooden camel--just in time for Christmas decorations.
Jared also purchased sterling silver hand-crafted mini jewelry boxes. I have been keeping one on the windowsill in the kitchen so I have a place to store my wedding rings while I cook, bake and do dishes.
Last but not least were four handmade soaps. They are all different scents and were molded after rocks. I am using my favorite shape first. It is pretty neutral smelling, and it hasn't dried my hands out after using it. He said he paid about $20 for the four. That's steep if you ask me, but I suppose the seller needs the money more than we do.
Thanks again to everyone who sends him mail and gifts. He really looks forward to mail call!

Those are so nice and I think it's very thoughtful. Some co-workers and I were having lunch at a favorite Chinese place and since my wife is pregnant, she is craving those soups always available at the oriental buffets. So, at the end of the meal, I requested a bowl to go. We all rode back to the office in the same vehicle and one of my co-workers asked me if my wife would be jealous of me for eating out that day. I told him "No. I am bringing her tribute." One of the female soldiers in the vehicle laughed and said "Yep. As long as a woman knows you were thinking of her, then you are usually 'good to go.'"
