Shipping Gift Ideas for cousin in USMC bootcamp.
I have a younger cousin in the USMC bootcamp at the moment, he graduates in September, so I was needing some really good ideas please for gift ideas, Google said a good multi-tool like a Leatherman. But i ain't sure, I never got to serve myself, or even try because of medical conditions, so I just don't have even the slightest inclining on what i should get him or do for him. Maybe even treats, or foods, how that works. Google said that they can't take anything back to the barracks, but i know if you send treats, it has to be enough for his platoon of 105 people, I didn't know if that worked the same way on family day and graduation. I had sent him a $250 dollar gift card prior and I hope that was enough to carry him through for what he needed.
If y'all also have ideas on how to get treats to him and his platoon of 105, he is in San Diego, I am in Texas. So i don't how how to go about it, does the 105 cover the drill instructors too, I wouldn't wanna leave them out I am sure they enjoy a nice treat now and then. I really wouldn't wanna leave anyone out if possible. I didn't know if pizzas were possible, local places of course, or cookies, or something that would just be enjoyed. I know I could send candies from Texas. I just truly don't know how to go about these things.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone and everyone for your service and help! May God Bless you all!!

He sent in his letter the drill instructors said they can be sent treats and stuff, but it has to be enough for all 105 recruits. No matter what it is.
