Why? A web browser will work. 

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/

Pull the packages you want and save them on your choice of
media, then bring the media over to your off-line box and copy
them over. apt or dpkg can install from the files.

What you lose this way (besides time) is having apt calculate
which supporting packages you need. However, 

https://packages.debian.org

will happily tell you all the dependencies of any given package,
and then you can get all the dependencies of each of those, and 
so on.
