ideas for honeymoon hamper to post abroad

Am struggling to think of a silver wedding present to send to friends in Europe (they're not in to "silver" so photo frames etc are out).

Was thinking of putting together a "re-live your honeymoon" hamper. Got as far as massage oil, romantic CD, chocolates, bath confetti.... then am stuck.
Any thoughts? Got to be careful it doesn't get too heavy else postage will be more than the contents!

Or is it a daft idea? Any other thoughts welcome

I think it's a lovely idea.
How about some photos if you have them, and a newpaper/publication from their wedding date or year.
A couple of scented candles or floating bath lights might be nice too.

Silver wedding napkins

A book - love poems, quotes on marriage, jokes about marriage, whatever would suit their tastes.

A mini decorated fruit cake

Mini bottle of champagne

Two bottles of those champagne bubbles you get on tables at weddings.

Could all be wrapped in silver tissue paper.

excellent, excellent ideas - many thanks to you both. Married, not heard of floating bath lights - where would I get those from?

(and need to find a lovely box to put them in which will double as postage protection - any ideas? Used to get that sort of thing from Au Naturel but closed down round here)

You can get floating lights from iwantoneofthose.com

Thanks Supergreen. Was hoping to get everything tomorrow and get in the post by Saturday (but not the end of the world if I don't). Anyone know if I can get the floating bath lights in a shop rather than online? Must get some silver "25" confetti to put in the box too. Am beginning to feel more confident about this idea thanks to you lovely people!
