How bout these for starters?

* small packs of tissue (General Dollar Store)
* small box of different colored gem clips
* small highlighter (2 inch. size)
* roll of lifesavers (with note, call Mom for
all life saving needs
* small standup calendar (banks, insurance
companies give them for free)
* Book of stamps (to write home)
* prepaid calling card

Right off the top of my head, this is all I can think of...if I come up with anything else, I'll post.
