I suspect you could fit a whole bunch of them into a $9.50 ($7.50 to 
Canada and Mexico) Global Priority Mail (Airmail) Flat Rate Envelope. 
You can only put up to 4lbs of them at a time in there, but it's still 
less than half the price of "normal" Airmail to Europe, etc. There's a 
list of qualifying destination countries here:
