Father's Day gift basket ideas?

It's my husband's first Father's Day and he's going to be gone. I want to send him a special package with goodies. I was going to do a flat rate box that ships in 2-3 days. Any ideas on what to put in the box that might ship well? I am thinking oatmeal cookies, coconut macaroons, pictures, or a picture frame. Do you have any other good ideas? He loves food, beer, etc., typical man stuff.

hey,I am sure you have some cool photos of your husband,then why not collect them all ,choose a nice song,and make a slideshow show for him？ It is special and touching!

I got the inspiration from here : http://www.ourpix.com/photo-dvd-movie/fathers-day-dvd-slideshow.html#208
