They'll be fine! I can't tell you how many things I've shipped to the desert, Diego Garcia, and all over the world! You'll need those Gladware or Take-Along containers. They're like cheap plastic containers with lids, packing tape, and some wax paper or foil. Place a layer of cookies, then wax paper or foil and repeat until the container is full. Add a layer to the top and then put the lid on tight. Tape the lid all the way around. It makes it airtight. Put as many containers as you want into a box and wrap it like you usually would. The less things are able to move around the better it will be. Include Christmas cards signed by as many people as you can. Get his family and friends involved and stuff.
Try to send cheer up things or things he needs. Candy, snacks, puzzle books, cards, even toiletries are nice to have. Sometimes hand lotion and some lip balm can be a Godsend!
