Help needed

Hiya

I sponser a child through the world vision programme

Every year I do a few shoeboxes for the Samaritans Purse appeal and thought it would be nice to send my sponsered child one for her birthday (in March), however I'm not allowed.

Gift are only allowed in a maximum of a A5 envelope.

So I want to think of ideas as too what I could send. She will be 4 in March

Thanks
Give me the boy until he's seven and i'll give you the man.

    A5 isn't very big is it...on first thoughts colouring crayons and paper, would a personalised story book fit I've seen quite a few in adverts etc in the run up to Christmas or just a normal book but small, what about a photo and letter from your family and a little bracelet, some socks or tights or other item of clothing which would fold up small, pretty sparkly hair bands/slides....:confused: um if i think of anything else i'll come back to you.

    Thanks

    They don't don't speak english so a book would be no good.

    I usually send her stickers, crayons, photos and a letter (which the staff translate)etc

    Like the idea of hair clips and a bracelet
