Gift Giving Advice: What's Most Needed In-Theater?

I am trying to put together some care packages for some soldiers, both male and female that are currently in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am trying to find out what's most precious and hardest to get over there. What I don't wanna do is send a bunch of stuff that they can get by the case load at the PX or something.

Some things that have been mentioned as being valuable are;

Batteries; AA , AAA and Surefire
Wet Wipes
Tobacco, Cope and Skoal
Phone Cards
CD's and XBox games
Magazines like Car, national geographic, Gun, etc....

What else? What would you give your eye teeth to have while you were there or what would you want most if you're there now?


Thanks fellas-

I posted a link to a website here that is updated regulary with numerous care package sites. Those sites have lists of items that have been requested.
