What are some ideas for a Wales/Welsh themed gift basket?

My boyfriend studied in Wales for a year and is missing it dearly. For his birthday, I would like to make him a gift basket with items from Wales or represent this culture; however, I know nothing about Wales. So far, I have a rugby tshirt, some tea, and a book called" Y Mabinogi / the Mabinogi." I am looking for some candy, movie, comic, games, etc. suggestions. Anything he may have encountered during his stay in Wales, which he really cherishes. Thanks for the help!

What a great idea! How about a daffodil, harp keyring, welsh flag, welsh love spoon, litttle rugby ball, dragon soft toy, brains pint glass, welsh choir cd (glanaethwy is really good or Bryn terfel), something made out of welsh slate, welsh learners book, welsh souvenirs like a fridge magnet, beer mat, stationery and umbrella. Some of the above mentioned might be difficult to get hold of out of Wales, but most of it you can get over the internet, from a shop such as this- http://www.thewelshshop.co.uk/ http://www.na-nog.com Food wise you could try baking your own welsh delicatessens- Welsh cakes- http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/databa… Or bara brith, fudge, leek and potato soup or some welsh fudge.
