There is a passport cover made out of heavy denim, with an aeroplane embroidered on the front, a pocket on the back with a button catch on the front, and lined with left over fabric from the curtains in her girls' bedroom. Thanks to Jessica for the tutorial that got me started.
An 'Aeroplane Survival Puzzle Book' to help fill the hours from Melbourne to San Fransisco. Inside is a 'Spot the Difference' - I used a photo of our kids and changed it in Photoshop... lots of fun to make! - a crossword with clues that I made up that relate to my friend, a word search with names of her special people, Sudoku, lateral thinking puzzles, dot-to-dot and a few other time fillers.
And of course, some lollies in case/when a quick sugar fix is needed.
