I have put in some private messages, one for each night, and left lots of space for him to put momentos, such as tickets, sweet wrappers etc to remember his trip. Then of course there are the photo mats, onto which he can mount his favourite snaps when he gets back.
I have used the fantastic Portebello road papers by Papermania for this. The tags are again from some jeans. I used a martha steward punch. The embellishments are all from my stash, they include a bluebird, a memories zip pull, and of course the Union Flag.
