I'm deployed away with the military for the next few months and will be leaving my fiance at home and will also be missing Christmas/NYE & her 30th. I already have her Xmas/birthday presents bought or planned, but what would be a nice leaving gift box to add to the following:
* Penis moulding kit (we'll make before I leave)
* Vouchers/gift cards for her favourite stores
* Framed photo
* A photo book of all our Snapchats
* Addressed envelopes to my deployed location
* Copper purse insert with a love message on
Looking for cute & sexy stuff to include. We'll be able to Skype occaisonally but not really in private.

First, please stay safe while deployed.
Second, I would do an advent-style message of the day kind of calendar -- Short (and maybe even some long) hand-written love letters to her. One for every day of your deployment. It will not only make her feel loved every day that she reads the new one, but will also be a cute countdown until the time you're back home.
Similarly, maybe arrange a number of different things for her to do - again as a countdown. Leave them in numbered envelopes with dates to open.
Maybe one's a mani/pedi gift certificate.
One a massage
One a gift certificate for her and a girlfriend to go to a paint & wine night.
Etc.
Depending on your budget - it could be a once a month thing - or even a once a week thing. But, it would be things to keep her busy while you're gone - remind her of the fact that you love her - and again, a countdown of sorts, because once she's out of envelopes and things to do - you're on your way home.
I love the photo idea too - but, maybe you could do a series of photos of just you - sometimes cute - sometimes funny - sometimes sexy - some with you holding messages - etc.. One a day for her to open.
Occassionally arrange for flowers/chocolates/etc. to be delivered - home and work. Randomly. Not any rhyme or reason. You can set them all up for dates before you leave with an online florist, with cute love missives.
Long distance relationships are hard. Long distance relationships in the military are even harder. But, with love - trust - and communication, you can make them work. I have several family members and lots of friends in the military, here in the States. I have seen relationships fail and endure. The difference is truly those 3 things -
Love
Trust
Communication
