Less of a chance of a suitcase getting lost than a small plain box. Plus I'm sure there would be someone in your aunt's town that could make use of a small suitcase.
This is a good possibility, plus I may be able to insulate it a bit with newspaper or something against potential melting on the tarmac. Perhaps if I only check my bag through to CDG, then re-check it on to PRG during our long layover there may be less chance of the bag getting lost.

You do realize which IBB you're posting on?
