Small gifts for brother to send overseas?

Maybe like, knitted/crocheted accessories and stuffed little toys (love mochimochi land). I also just bought Collage Discovery Workshop by Claudine Hellmuth and it has a whole bunch of techniques and how to's done with like, awesome painted backgrounds and picture transfers and a whole bunch of really awesome mixed media type things, like, maybe a collage done on one of those super mini canvases would be fun to receive. T-shirts can also be packed up super small if you get those like, impractical tissue-thin tees that come in the three-packs in the men's underwear aisle. Could always make him one of those.

Oh, also keychains and maybe like, personalized school supplies. My grandpa used to do the most diy things with office supplies/everything in the world. Like, he had made magnetic pencils that stuck to the fridge/other metal places. Or you could buy a set of metal stamps and stamp something into wooden pencils.

Could also make him a mini picket notebook. Like, totally redo the cover, or go all the way and make the paper with a super mini frame (I've bought them at Michaels before for like, 2 bucks with a coupon) and staple some window screen or pantyhose to it, then like, make the pulp with either recycled paper or cotton fabrics (which you have to boil first, but I won't go on with the whole paper making process since there are tons of tutes online) then when the paper's dry, you could sew all the sheets together with a leather/other fabric upper/backing. Everyone loves pocket notebooks! Or not, lolz.

I love all Emily's ideas, also how about customizing a set of small headphones, phone/mp3/ipod accessories, if he's into those types of things, infact, what kind of things does he like? That'd probably help us with ideas towards what you could make for him

Humm..He likes crosswords, coffee, music, books, coumpters, traveling...If I think of more I will add some. Thanks for the help!

Book cover made of newspaper crosswords?

mini packs of coffee? crossword books, candy...

Maybe ATC's with parts of crossword puzzles, nice parts of songs, quotes?

Kenadie watch what snacks you send, anything with food coloring molds like crazy before it can get there no matter what you pack it with to keep the moisture out

Ooh ATC's with crosswords that sounds cool.
Bookmarks regular or corner ones if he like books with little cartoons posted on them are fun.
Tiny crossword books would be fun too.You can use the Green book how to to create any 8 page book so options are endless for that one.
