I remember Kirsty Young when she first started on channel 5 news.
Actually, I might send a recording of "Desert Island Discs" back in time to a young Roy Plomley, with a note attached to it saying: "Dear Roy, This is the future of broadcasting. I've tasted it. Make a radio show based on this format and you will be famous. Love, ZR" and watch the temporal fireworks from afar with a box of popcorn.

What object do you send back in time?
A zippo lighter.
Where do you send it to?
The pe-historic caveman era, say a million years ago or so.
Why?
Predestination paradox.

Oh, oh -- how about a list of things that will happen, in sealed envelops with dates on which to open them, sent to myself via the Post Office (sent back in time, pre-stamped).
When I get them, with a note saying not to open them until the date marked, I will open each and it will be about an event that occurs. I'll come to TrekBBS, forecast, then be hailed a a fucking GOD.

Back to the original question.
I would make things today that improve with age. Send them back in time enough to age them properly, then dig them up in the current time and sell for a profit. Since I haven't changed my timeline, it should work. (maybe?) Thinking mostly of things like Cognac and Bourbon at the moment. I'm sure there are other higher ticket items, wine? Of course, send them back to a safe place for aging and make sure to use period authentic labeling and such.

I would send some sort of modern engineering manual back in time oh say about 100 years or so, so hopefully, we'd be that much further ahead, and perhaps the we'd all be living in the Terran Star Empire by now.
I'd send a box containing as many texts about Nazi Germany in World War II and the concentration camps to Stanley Baldwin at 10 Downing Street with a note detailing just enough then current top secret Brittish information for them to realize I speak the truth and telling them hat they need to do more to rearm and prepare for war.
It would be timed to arrive in the summer of 1935.

i think i'd send a years worth of Playboy magazine to Victorian England. it would arrive in a top class restaurant one copy on each table.
of maybe a modern car to arrive just after henry ford makes his model T with a note saying
"sorry I made this earlier"
be intreasting to see what he would have made of that

I was thinking something along those lines, like a copy of the New York Times showing every major event that's occured in the last 100 years and sending it back to 1900.

A current picture of myself.
Me, back in 1999.
To show what will happen in ten years, so that I can either change the future, or just brace myself for the horrendous onslaught to come.

I'd either send JFK back in time to assassinate infant Hitler, or infant Hitler forward in time to save JFK from assassination. Or I'll send my grandfather back to assassinate my grandfather and take his place, thus becoming my grandfather.
Let's just put it this way. Someone is getting assassinated... or not.
