The Freefall Welcome Basket is offered to newcomers in an effort to make their stay in the Freefall forum as comfortable (and safe!) as possible. Many of the items are mentioned in the strip itself, others at sundry places within the forum threads. Oblique references include science fiction in general, engineering, aviation, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Wolves and Dogs, Strange Things to Eat, Unicorns, the Pharsicle, and many others. Enjoy!
Another thread that discusses the Welcome Basket is here.
-- NOTE: Thank You Selden for all your hard work and time you put into finding all of this information contained throughout the "Freefall" Forum. I know future Newbee Explorers will come to appreciate your work. [[*Hug*]]

I've always thought there needed to be a Chaos-Driven Random Object Materializer (may be called a 'magic bag' elsewhere) in the welcome kit. After all, where does all the other stuff in the basket come from?

I do believe that Florence would like "Microwaveable Haggis" to be included in the "Welcome Basket".
Okay, this post is really gonna need a "Mr. YUCK" sticker.
I'm glad this topic came up again, you won't be.
There is such a thing as Microwavable Haggis. It's called "Cup-a Haggis". And no, I'm not joking. Essentially, it says to take the left-overs from Haggis, and "...freeze them in ice-cube trays. When they're good and frozen, pop them out into freezer bags and store forever in your freezer. Whenever you want a quick haggis fix, take a cube out of your freezer and put it in a microwavable mug, throw in a beef bouillon cube, or a single-serving envelope of freeze-dried beef bouillon and 6 ounces of cold water. Defrost in your microwave, usually on the "defrost" or 1/3 power setting for about 1 minute. Then microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, depending upon your microwave, to bring it to a boil. Let it cool a little... and enjoy. Double the microwaving time for more than one serving."
I also have the recipie for "Haggis Lite", and regular, old, "Haggis", which I can assure you all is digitgrade disgusting!
So remember, the next time you tick me off, I'll unleash THAT on you. And if that doesn't work, I have a recipe for "Moose Nose." Twice as disgusting as you think in half the time!

That is just so completely WRONG! I'm in tears laughing here.

A towel for protection against shaking canines
Techvac keybouard cleaners and screen wipes are a definate necessity

Cleaning the stomach was bad enough, "skim the scum off the surface at regular intervals", but, "lungs are not edible according to the USDA", pretty much put me over the top. Moose Nose? You don't want to know about Moose Nose... And then there's escargo... "you have to cook till they expell the contents of their stomachs..."
SERIOUS MR YUCK!

You mean it's not a chew-toy for the dragons?
How about a "Chineese Menu" for the baskets? A bunch of standard items, plus one (or more) list(s) the recipient can choose one (or more) item(s) from. (Or maybe coupons they can redeem for a few of the optional items.)
