How do i send christmas cookies overseas to my boyfriend's military base?

I want to send christmas cookies and brownies to my boyfriend in Kuwait and i don't know how to perserve the food or if its even possible. What is the best way to do this?|||Yes cookies are awesome. They can arrive fresh just have to seal them up.





consider these tips|||Sorry hun but anything you send now will not make it in time for Christmas. Any packages going overseas needed to be sent out by Dec 4th, but you can always go to your local post office and check with them. I just sent cookies to my hubby for christmas and all I did was package them in one of those nice Christmas tins and sent it out he got them and they were just fine. There really isn't a way to "preserve" them but when you take them to the post office make sure you tell them its perishable food inside the box. I always use the flat rate boxes to send stuff overseas because they are only 10.95 to an APO or FPO and don't forget a customs slip when/if your going to send something.|||I have a sealer that I purchased at Walmart that vaccums all the air out and seals your package tight. That is the best way you can do it. But mail is moving much faster then it used to into the bases so you might be okay to just ziploc them and try to get all of the air out. Although the deadline to get packages there by Christmas was December 11th. I'm sure he would still be excited though!!|||Pack them in small zip-lock bags or vacum seal them in small qualities place a lot of padding around them so they don't break up. Ship Express mail on Monday if you want them there around Christmas.








Added: Send Plenty for everyone|||put a slice of bread in with the cookies and they'll stay soft for at least 2 weeks.|||Why don't you just express ship them?
