Default Sending small package to Germany economically

Just tapping into the general wisdom here.
I need to send a small package (electronic item) to Germany and it must be tracked with delivery confirmation.
It's not worth much and not urgent so I don't want to spend a lot.

It's small, would fit easily into a box 15*10*5cm, and weighs under 100gm packaged.
The likes of DHL want about £30 which wouldn't be worth doing at all.
Are there decent/recommended alternatives? £5 would be great, £10 just about acceptable.

Edit: It does need to be sent this week, so I can't wait for possible help from German visitors to our annual meet.
