It depends a lot on the country you are shipping from. I send from Japan, and have to figure 30 to 40 USD for the shipment on top of the 50 USD for the gift. Depends on how heavy items.
Main things to think about are customs/import restrictions, restrictions on what can go in airmail, and finally making sure things don't break.
