you need to really think about this ... and talk to the person receiving...and what country you are sending to..
when i participated in an international round robin we had to send the packages to england without insurance...because when we insured it the recipient had to pay BIG BUCKS to pick it up...it was really crazy...to pay for the packaging/insurance/postage then the person picking up had to pay an additional $50+ to get it. so first contact the person...and ask questions about what they want on it...if it's a surprise gift then contact the post office . now for our round robins we put (gift) in the place on the customs slip and no more than a $20 value on it...so they do not have to pay a crazy amount to pick it up. also, check into other shipping options...maybe there is a way to send an insured package with someone outside the postal system???
