I have deployed before but have no experience in a deployed environment in it's very beginning stages and am now looking at it from the perspective of a military spouse wanting to take care of their loved one. Regular mail and a PX may not be available so I really want to help her get as prepared as possible.
What are some items, recommendations, tips, suggestions or ways in which life could be made as comfortable as possible? I'm talking about personal space in general & ways in which you "decorated" while living in a tent. In all areas of hygiene for a woman. Things you hadn't thought of bringing but that you wish you had. Things you wish you had brought more of. What are some ways you amped up those MREs or what filling and delicious food and snacks (not junk food) that could be easily made and/or also last the duration of the deployment?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Baby wipes laundry detergent powder, Landry bag, small mirror is an always. Perishable food type items you can mail, it will come may not be all the time but will be there. This sound funny but pillow, dvd's for laptop, extra blanket. Go to Bass Pro or a camping out doors type and walk around it will come to you. Potable Shower, but I don't think you will need that, not like your invading Baghdad for the first time. She needs to make friends with Engineer unit that will be there or find one. 550 CORD take the Leatherman that was issued. extra sox plenty of them and boots. writing tabs, pins cards of small games.

It might be beneficial if your unit takes power tools with them. To include electric saws and extra blades.
