Christmas is just a few weeks away, and many of us find asking ourselves, “Hmmm, what should I put in my honey’s stocking this Christmas?” “What does he/she like?” Well, let me tell you, as simple as it may be, some of us find it quite hard to figure out. 

11 Stocking Stuffers That Must Be In Your Soldiers Stocking

So, here are some great stocking stuffers for your soldier:

Fusion Jerky – YUMMMS! They come in all sizes and flavors. Great snack if he/she is deployed or not. However, soldiers get tired of the usual and many times Beef Jerky can be full of msg and preservatives. I recently had the pleasure of trying out Fusion Jerky in SpouseBox a few months ago and it was awesome. Fusion Jerky is an all-natural, high-protein, low-sodium delicious tasting gourmet jerky made without gluten, preservatives or nitrites. Flavors range from Chipotle Lime to Garlic Jalapeno plus much more. The bags are on sale at their site for $5.99 (usually $6.99). Lastly, they come in the most awesome colored bags!

Military Energy Gum – It’s no secret alot of military peeps love energy drinks and coffee. “

Via the site: “The Military Energy Gum formula was developed exclusively for Military and Security Agencies and was selected by for use in First Strike Rations by the Navy Seals, Army Rangers, and Special Forces. Chewing one piece delivers 100 mg of caffeine five times faster than pills or coffee. Recommended by the The National Academy of Sciences for situations requiring fast action and clinically proven to improve physical performance, alertness, thinking, and marksmanship for fatigued soldiers. First Responders, Firefighters, Police Officers, and Security Personnel have also found Military Energy Gum to be a powerful, compact, fast-acting tool for stopping fatigue.” Get it here.

Hudsalve Military Grade Lip Balm – Who wants chapped and dry lips?! No one! Being in harsh conditions can cause your lips and skin to do weird things. Hudsalve is a lip balm developed in the 50’s by the Swiss Army. Not only is it a lip balm, but a mosquito repellant and skin protection. Perfect for sending in a care package and definitely their stocking.
