Brother & SIL new cat slaves

Hi all
My brother & SIL have just got their first kitten today (rescue). They have the basics litter tray, food bowl ect
However I want to make them up a care parcel for the kitten (their in Scotland I'm in Essex). As it will be a while till I see them.
Any ideas of what I could put it in. I was thinking some treats & a few toys maybe a Tesco voucher for food to get her started but wonder if anyone else had any thoughts?
**Just learnt a bit more about the kitten if anyone is interested it's a little girl who their going to call Bubbles (brother is a Hammers supporter). Apparently the mum had her legs broken and was dumped in someone's garden pregnant with 9 kittens. The bloke who runs the cats' home is keeping her and says she is fantastic and has made a brilliant recovery**

One of the best toys

Good for the digestion

Start buying good quality food

Almost inevitable that at some point the kitten will need this, half the price the vet will charge

Mine hear the crack of the pipette and go running! LOL
I suppose if you're posting, light items are best? I gave my sister one of those soft fleecy blankets with the pawprints on when she got her cat - its on the end of the sofa and has become a favourite sleeping place
From an MSE perspective they are quite cheap in places like B&M!
The flea/worming treatment is quite a good idea especially if its their first cat they might not have thought of that stuff yet! I have tried effipro instead of frontline this month as its cheaper (on Vetuk). Sorry waffling now

No thanks for all the tips.
I must admit I'm so excited for themFirst Date 08/11/2008, Moved In Together 01/06/2009, Engaged 01/01/10, Wedding Day 27/04/2013, Baby Moshie due 29/06/2019 :T0 -
The best toys in the universe are at Purrsinourhearts shop, I think Tan will post right out to your brother if you ask. All profits go to cat charities and every product is 'road tested' by the regulars on the forum before it is sold. You NEED a Da Bird with a Da Mouse and Da Sparkler attachments for variety. The cat play cubes also go very down well, they can linked into a tunnel or singles/ pairs can be get leapt on and rolled around inside!

Kittens will generally get more pleasure from quality toys than food treats, it's healthier and will hopefully lead to less destruction of furniture!Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -

frontline is rubbish, they will be better off getting something from their vet.Cats don't have owners - they have staff!!
