Venison Brats

I try to think of things to put in a care package for my husband who is serving his second deployment to Iraq. We are from Wisconsin and I want to make a bundle WI theme full of stuff at home.

So far, I thought of things like:
Ripon good cookies (made in Ripon, WI)
Racine Kringle (Made in Racine, WI)
Things of all our sports teams (Packers, Brewers, Badgers, Bucks)
Something Summerfest (Milwaukee, WI)
Something of a cheese (which does not need to go in the fridge)
Berres Bros. Coffee Some (Made in Watertown, WI)

I also thought brats or venison, but I do not know how to keep them while I send them, they can be outside.

Does anyone have other ideas of things that remind you of WI or WI? I am also going to our city and state papers and perhaps a postcard of a cow laugh.

Thank you!
