definately postcards of your country, teas or coffees, specific country candy, fabric/threads from your stash, handmade goods are great. while i have sent secret pal packages overseas i have yet to receive one from across the way but i would want something representative of their country in my package. you may have a travel bureau near by that has little do dads such as pictorial books, descriptions of places of interest. you can do refrigerator magnets as i think i got one of a red phone booth from one of my friends travel.
i'm thinking of some more things and will post. as you build up your seap box of things to send, you will have time to do more cost effective shopping and get things on sale or find things from thrift shops.
ok here's more ideas:
scottish plaid pencils/pens
magnets
tea towels
bookmarks
a small pkg of those delish cookies
a kilt air freshner
bagpipes or map of scotland keyring
shot glass
