Ideas for a postal present for a 4 year old

So thanks to you lovely lot I'm very well on the way with my Christmas shopping, however, I'm stuck on ideas for my husbands 4 year old nephew in Malaysia. I have lots of gifts to post internationally and it gets so expensive. Last year I bought some t-shirts and shorts with a little toy which were never posted due to them moving close to Christmas and me giving responsibility to my husband to post after Christmas Hmm, so this year I need to send something nice.

Usually I'd do a little present to post with the card and something from Amazon but it seems Amazon aren't in Malaysia. Toys and books seem heavy to post and clothes not very exciting now he's 4.

Any ingenious ideas??

Book Depository has free delivery on children's books direct to any destination!
(Unless you particularly want to giftwrap it yourself?)

Or maybe have a word with the parents as to what local attraction/park/activities you could buy him a pass for?

Personalised story book with his name. We did this a lot when our DN &DNs we’re young and we lived abroad.

Dose he like football? Maybe a football shirt with his name on

The great thing is it will be warm in Malaysia so you can buy things still in the summer sales to send over.

Dobble is an excellent idea. Or similar card game like Phase 10, Uno. Or Orchard Toy Game.

Personalized story book and t-shirts with prints sound great! Maybe a mug or a bottle with a fun print, too, but make sure you wrap it carefully. You can also make him personalized pocket or desk calendars with characters he likes or a small coloring calendar. It takes literally zero place in the parcel but it's a nice adding.
