long-distance wedding gifts..

[sara3]

my older sister, who lives in Australia, in getting married in January. it's her THIRD TIME!

we're not that close but I'd like to send a gift. they live in the middle of nowhere, and are doing up a shack of a house. they keep a lot of animals.

any ideas of a reasonably unbreakable gift I could post? the budget is.. I don't know, £50-ish.

thank you :o)

Could you buy something from an Australian website and have it delivered directly (maybe a hamper of treats or British food)?

[giveup]

Dont buy anything heavy or the postage will cost as much as the gift.
