Default What can I have sent to him for Bday?

My man's birthday is coming up and I would like to send him something. I know I can send a card but I would like to get him an actual gift. Does anyone have any information on this? I've heard about sending books through amazon but was wondering what all was allowed.

Thank you,
Nicky

The only things you can send are books, magazines, and paper and evelopes. Everything must be sent from a varifiable vendor though. As long as it comes from a real company and not a person, it doesn't matter where you shop.

Books are almost always very appreciated, it "takes them away" from where they are, even if it's just for a little while. This is a link to 1st Choice Used Books, a used book store that sends books into a lot of prisons and is "approved". Their books are super cheap, starting under $1 per book, and they have a huge selection
