[quote=Anonymous]OP, while these suggestions are very thoughtful, I would not do any of this. I move a lot for work, and all of these GIFs would really annoyed me because I would have to deal with either storing them for packing them. I love the sentiment, but it would be a burden to receive most of these things. I travel journal? No thank you. It’s just another thing to store or add weight to my suitcase.    Of all of these, taking her to dinner is the most practical, but even that is a bridge too far. Whenever I am preparing to go out of town, I have so much to do, and sometimes honestly the offers to get taken to dinner or lunch actually end up stressing me out because I need those times to pack and get ready.    I would give her a nice handwritten card with a nice note in it, and also include an Amazon gift card.   She can add the gift cards to her account balance immediately, so that she does not have to keep track of the gift card for two years.  She has the flexibility to use it either now for ordering her needs related to her upcoming trip, potentially in the country depending on what arrangements the work place has made for her to receive packages, and after she returns she can use it as well.  In the alternative, or in addition, if you could get your hands on some Fijian dollars to put in the card, that would probably be really awesome.   And definitely definitely send her care packages while she is overseas. That is going to be appreciated far more than any travel gift or dinner.   You sound like a very nice friend.[/quote]
