We have sent care packages to a cousin that was there and also to a coworker. Here are some ideas:

Toilet Paper
Any toiletries - shaving cream, razors, etc.
Newspapers or something from the area he is from
Panty Hose - I was told this helps in the desert to prevent chafing....
Snacks like Pringles, cereal bars, slim jims, beef jerky. If candy, I would suggest things that can't melt like Twizzlers, etc.

M&M's. They don't melt in the heat. Plus, if you go to their website http://us.mms.com/us/ you can have some personalized. His name and rank, or maybe his unit name would be good ideas.... Black and Gold for Army; light blue and white for Air Force, Crimson and Gold for the Marines and Blue and Grey for the crabs ...

We make up boxes at work and send out and I always put in Beef Logs and Ritz crackers. The parents of the soldiers that I work with always tell me those are a big hit. :)
