It can be something small.....
When I traveled to Costa Rica I noticed that the kids were playing football (soccer) with just the bladder from a worn out ball. When I came back home I went into a Salvage store - one that gets stuff from wrecked 18 wheelers or storm damaged areas, etc. They had a huge box of sports balls so I picked out several of the soccer balls and deflated them. On the next trip south I threw a couple in my bag. When the kids showed up to play I gave them one of the new balls for their game.
A box full of hackey sacks from Oriental Trading or similar does not cost much and they dont take up a ton of space if you scatter them around in your gear - as you give those away you gain a little room for the things you pick up along the way.
