Welcome to the first edition of “101 things to send him when he’s deployed.” If you’ve been following @JanesList on Twitter you’ve been catching our daily tweets with unique ideas of what to send your loved one who is deployed. We’re asked all the time about where the list is posted. We’ll post 10 items a week right here at Janes-List.com and then we’ll add the entire list of 101 on a permanent page of our blog in June. In the meantime, you can receive updates to our list by subscribing to our blog or following us on Twitter. And if you have any suggestions to send us for the list, email jane@janes-list.com.
