Gift ideas for friend moving to Singapore

Good friends of ours will be moving to Singapore with their three children in the summer. We were hoping to have a collection and give them a joint leaving gift. The trouble is, we have no idea what to get! I should think the budget will be somewhere between £100 and £150. As the family have very little packing space, the gift can't be too bulky. Does anyone have any suggestions? We had thought of getting travel vouchers, but it doesn't seem possible to 'buy' airmile vouchers. Are there any type of gift vouchers that may be useful in Singapore, but can be purchased here? Are there things one can't buy in Singapore that would be good to take with? Any suggestions will be greatfully received!

Books are very expensive. Amazon vouchers?

What about a box set for a tv series? TV in Singapore is not great! We always watch box sets and have seen True blood, the whole of Mad Men, The Wire, Downton Abbey amongst other things. Or, what about an apple tv thingy so that they can download their favourite programmes?

this doesn't cost alot of money, just time and patience! how about a photo album of you and them together, pictures collected over the years, you could ask other friends to contribute, this would mean so much to me and they can look at it when feeling homesick...

A kindle?

Thank you so much for all your suggestions! The album is in the making already :) . I love the other ideas, too, and think we may put together a little 'survival kit' consisting of DVD box sets, Amazon vouchers and apple TV or Kindle, depending on our budget. Any other ideas, of what we should put in there?
