My cousin is going to spend 2 months in Europe (she's going everywhere) and for her birthday I want to send her a survival kit. I thought of toilet seat covers and hand sanitizer, some kind of translator dictionary that hopefully has a few languages in it (know where I can find one?) and a wallet chain. Any other ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

That's a great thing for you to do. I spent 6 months in Europe a few years back. Here are a few things I would suggest.
1- flip flops for showering in hostels and travel hotels
2- dryer sheets (like Downy) they keep a backpack smelling fresh
3- travel pouch/purse- no wallets, pick pockets are everywhere especially high tourist destinations
3- Nalgene bottle- you would not believe how hard it can be sometimes to get a drink of water without paying $5 for it.
4- currency converter cheat sheet- most countries are on the euro but it helped me out a lot to quickly calculate prices.
5- some extra money to mail things home during her trip. souvineers and momentos add a lot of weight to a bag after a couple cities worth of visits. She'll love you for this, trust me.
Hope she has a great time, its an amazing experience.

the translator you can probably find online-travel laundry line-great travel book-the eyewitness guides are good-she should pack light and maybe a monochrome color scheme-she needs at least one skirt-aspirin tylenol or other over the counter meds that she takes-when you have a headache its way harder to read italian....individual(trave paks) of kleenex-they can be used in countries where they charge for the TP...
