The cast iron thread got me thinking about a cool gift idea for my brother. Has anyone ever put a kit together?

What would you put into a cast iron cleaning/seasoning kit?

Last year I gave a 12" lodge skillet, chainmail scrubber and Cooks Illustrateds "cook it in cast iron" as a gift. It was a hit.

No kit necessary

A scraper, some oil, some kosher salt

Rinse out with hot water. Give it a quick dry, then pour in some kosher salt to scrub out out any crap stuck on. Rinse again.

Put on stove on medium heat, spread a thin layer of oil around the inside. Cut heat when dry and oil is cooked on.
