If you know someone who works with cloth, you might consider:

1) Pass these scans to a photo printing site (CVS Photo 29c, for example);

2a) Mount the photo on a suitable backing (cut up shoe boxes work well) & mail that postcard;

2b) Depending on the number of prints, put them in a small photo album.

Makes a nice gift.
