Lt Col Charlie Brown: Thanks for this. For those who are going to give to Toys for Tots, please think about getting things for teenagers instead of just the younger children. Toys for Tots provides for a lot of children who are in foster care, which includes teenagers. I know every year when I drop of things like makeup kits, Axe shaving/body/cologne kits (the smell personally gags me but it's big with teen boys), teenage books, etc., those are really appreciated.

Plus one on the gagging phenomenon. I'll keep your comments regarding teens in mind when shopping. Thanks!

SSG Paul Headlee; Lt Col Charlie Brown: Teen girls are pretty easy...just go to Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and go down the makeup aisle to find the palettes of eye shadow, nail polish, lipstick (are we even wearing that with the masks?), barrettes/hair ties, etc. The boys can be a bit harder so I usually get the Axe (meh) gift sets. If I'm at the hobby store I always go looking for the Revel car or airplane kits, which are also pretty popular for the teen boys.
