Great idea! My friend Alicia gave another friend and myself an "aerial survival kit" last year for Christmas and it is fantastic! There were several items, including a travel set of nail clippers and file (so you don't snag the silks), hand cream and Epsom salts for the bath.

I would also add Arnica gel for the inevitable bruises, especially from lyra; Badger Sore Muscle Rub balm -- http://www.badgerbalm.com/p-480-sore-muscle-rub-original.aspx and there are other rubs, oils and balms on their website; and sticky gauze wrap to protect the hands when spending long hours on lyra. 

And maybe some legwarmers ;-)

If I got this gift basket, I'd be pumped. My suggestions would be Cramer's and maybe arnica gel. I know you can make an arnica salve homemade- I tried once but it didn't turn out that great. Not sure about everyone else, but I have a real bad time with bruising on the lyra. You're adorable for coming up with this idea!

**Whoops, didn't see Kinetic Kristens suggestion for arnica until just now. Oh well :)

Thanks for great idea's, I really like the Arnica gel suggestion it's not something that we have used before so in the basket it will go :)
