Help

As you might remember, our family sponsors two World Vision children. Lenah from Kenya and Vinicius from Brazil. Throughout the year we send them letters and cards and little gifts. I especially try to send something around their birthdays. The trick is, we can only send 6x9 inch envelopes. No big packages or boxes. Lenah just turned 9 in August. She's easy to shop for. Stickers, pencils, notepads, headbands, necklaces... There are tons of little things that would make a 9 year old little girl smile. And Vini's birthday is coming up in November. He will be turning 15. I have no idea what to send him. None at all. Any ideas?

Inflatable beach ball or something similar? for some reason that is all I can come up with.

Baseball cards? Those may be a little culture-specific though. Comic books maybe... If you can find them in Portugese. Yeah, that's a tough one.

Thanks, girls. Both good ideas. I'll let you know what ends up going in the package.
