How to 'wrap' tickets bought for grandchildren to make it special??

I have two grandchildren in Australia and 3 here in UK.
We are very lucky to all be meeting up in Sydney next year and I have bought tickets for Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb as Christmas presents for them all.
A bit selfish, I won't be going, but hope the photos of them all together will be the biggest gift for me.
Any suggestions as to how I make the tickets look a bit special for them? Ages vary from 10 to 17.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was built by the British company Dorman Long who built bridges all over the world.
There is a extensive list of them on Wikipedia, if you could get prints of the various bridges and include them that might add a bit of interest for the Grandkids.Play with the expectation of winning not the fear of failure. S.Clarke1 -
Make into crackers?
Find a number of nesting box sets & put the ticket into the smallest, then wrap & include clues in each layer?2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

I did a moonpig card for my husband. There was space for 7 photos and writing.
When it was his birthday we were going away for a few days with the dogs. He so wanted to go somewhere hot, so I booked a week in a hotel. Then had the card posted for his birthday. There was photos of the aeroplane, a map, a calendar with dates. I think I put the wording as today, hunstanton, but looking ahead......
Theres some personalised Sydney harbour bridge cars on Amazon.4 -
I did this for one of my relatives when I was giving them a voucher. Started with a big box and smaller and smaller until they found the voucher in the smallest one.oystercatcher said:Tickets in a box and then make a 'pass the parcel' type package , with or without clues ...
It went down a treat. Mind you, if sending to Australia that may not work the best 😉0
