I like the commemorative quaich idea Todd, it's got the right symbolism and is portable. It could be accompanied by a 'guest book' folks could sign etc..

My mate Shane (left, and my other mate Dave, right) with the JLU (North) travelling flag at last years Burns Bash at Ferintosh.
The flag is carried by any member of the unit who goes off to somewhere interesting and it has been photograhed around the world (quite often in Bali apparently) in interesting situations and with interesting people ... I believe the flag has it's own facebook page which documents it's adventures.
Incidentally. The X Marks Saltire was at the same function in Dumfries.
Some other flag pics:

Ditto... If Jamie won't re-consider donating the airship to the membership of Xmarks, then I think a Quaich would be a good idea. There are different sizes and shapes. Some are made roughly 3.5" diameter or so and very shallow (more of a decorative thing). I think that would be a good start.... it would fit in a small box (the size of a VHS tape) and be reliatively light to ship. It represents welcoming and friendship. It has nothing to do with 'old ideas'. I think it sounds perfect.
