Idea for Christmas Gift That Will Fit in an Envelope?

My boyfriend lives in Seychelles (it's close to Madagascar, but that's not the point). I want to get him a Christmas present, but I can't spend very much on shipping. I want to be able to fit it in an envelope that you'd send just a letter in, as well.

Write him a poem on pretty paper, send him a nice photo of yourself, and perhaps make some "gift certificates" by hand for redemption when you are together again.
I hope that helps.

A charm? a small pendant? Does he wear an earring? Sticky bubble wrap on both sides when you put it in the envelope.

I make narrow "pockets" which each hold a candy cane; one pocket is decorated to look like Santa's suit, another has a mustache with Santa's belt below, another has a little critter holding candy cane pictures, another has a picture of a snowman with a tag that says, "Love Never Melts", etc. They're ideal to mail. Instead of the candy cane, you could hand write a little note telling your honey why Christmas is so special to you knowing he's in your life, or something to that effect.

You could send a pre-paid gift card available through either Visa or Mastercard; that way it can be in the amount you can afford and he can purchase something he wants anywhere that accepts credit cards. Also, for a romantic touch, be sure to leave your lipstick kiss print somewhere on the inside of the card with a little squirt of your perfume ;-)

How about origami. It sounds a little corny, but you could use fancy paper and make something you could fold up to put in the envelope. He could hang it up to remind him of you. A gift certificate to an online service he likes might be nice, too. Hulu 0r Netflix maybe?
