Best way to ship something very small and fragile to Australia. Meaning least likely to be in pieces when it gets there. Let me know your ideas. Gogogogogogogogogogogo.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest.

padded envelope, small wooden crate, cardboard box with packing peanuts, It depends on the shape I guess.

Necklace that is a 1:1 reproduction of a key. How do I ship a key that's more likely to fall apart than the average to Australia?

I just hope you know I'm going to have to show her this.
Mostly because she'll find that hilarious.

you could tape it to a piece of paper so it doesn't move, then put it in a padded envelope.

Also partly because this is her Christmas present and I've showed everyone but her. Hoping to make her crazy.

Easiest way is bigger packaging.
I'd do bubble wrap inside of a small tupperware container, inside of another box (of decent wall thickness) with peanuts or other material around it. Use clear plastic packing tape and carefully tape over the shipping label- so you can see and scan it but it won't be damaged.
That's how I ship fragile electrodes. Haven't had any problems yet.

Use cardboard, tape it to one piece, then tape another piece on top of it, have the corrugation of the cardboard 90deg off from each other to help it resist folding on the corrugations.

I shipped a license plate to a friend in Australia.
So there's your answer. Keep whatever bauble you're worried about, drop your state's license plate into a FedEx flat mailer, drop it in a slot, ?, profit.
Why does everything have to be about me? Don't know, just does.

Wrap it in a plastic bag, get a box.
Put bubble wrap in the base of the box. Put in bagged item. Surround and cover with more bubble wrap.
Seal box and tape it well.
Also put some tamper-proof tape around box to discourage anyone from messing with it while in transit.
Take picture of box.
Then get a larger box, put some bubble wrap on the bottom, put smaller box in larger box.
Then put more bubble wrap around and on top and then seal the larger box.
When shipping it, spend the extra money on a courier service that includes tracking the package of who handles it at what stage.
If the box the gift is in is in the shape of a hard drive, you might want to get some hard-drive-style packaging and using that in addition to bubble wrap:
