Making an altoids tin into a portable beading kit

[bebemochi.livejournal.com]

Hey everybody! I was inspired by this tutorial to make a portable beading kit for a friend's birthday. I'm not a beader (?) myself, so I was wondering what would be best to include in the kit. I assume beading needles, thread, and containers for the beads themselves, but is there anything else I should add?
If you have any other suggestions for the kit, I'm all ears!
