SendingtoSoldiers.com - Sending gifts and items to BFPO

Easter Hampers 2011 for BFPO addresses.

Boxhappy have added their range of gift boxes for Easter2011 to their website here.

The boxes contain a range of sweet treats securely packaged in sturdy cartons which they hand deliver to RAF Northolt for forwarding to BFPO addresses worldwide. 

Shop and raise money for Forces charities at the same time

A new British Forces shopping website has launched; ShopForces.com.

The site is a handy directory of UK online businesses and shops - most importantly, each time you follow a link from the ShopForces website and make a purchase, a donation is made to two charities, SSAFA Forces Help and The Royal British Legion.

So, next time you are going to make a purchase online, be it from Amazon, Boots or anyone else, go to ShopForces, click on the relevant shop link on their site and your work is done; if you proceed to make a purchase from the relevant store a commission payment is made to ShopForces and money is then donated to charity.

Full details on the ShopForces website here.

X Factor Finalists Help For Heroes Charity Single - not the greatest of songs...but who cares!

Unless you have been living on the Moon for the last week or so you will be aware that The X Factor has done something rather surprising and rather good.  They have released a single with ALL (my understanding) profits going to a very worthy charity.

The single has been recorded for Help for Heroes, a charity that provides support for wounded servicemen and women.  You should be able to buy the single through our Sending to Soldiers Shop here (it is coming in and out of stock all the time).  Buy it there...buy it anywhere....but buy one or several!

Gifts from the Yellow Ribbon Foundation

I was on the excellent  Yellow Ribbon website earlier today.  They have added a range of nice little military themed gifts available to send to UK and BFPO addresses.   

The   "Troubles" Kit Bag  comes in lovely olive green velvet.  Inside you will find the following all safely contained in a plastic zip-lock bag: a rubber, a pin, a marble, elastic,a sweet and a penny.

The bag is available for just £2.00 inclusive of delivery charges.

The site also has an excellent range of Combat Bears available for £10.00, again inclusive of delivery charges to a UK or BFPO address.

Just what purpose they serve will be revealed on the label attached,along with the quirky words to "Pack up your troubles..." This makes a great gift to brighten up anyone's day.
