You could put them all in one folder and zip the folder. That will still
bring the filesize to around 12mb or so which is still too big. You can
then upload them to your webspace for the other person to download.
Alternatively, I see you use hotmail, why don't you send from that address?
I think Hotmail recently increased the message limit to 10mb each, so you
could send 3 different emails.

Try sending them by Dropload

http://dropload.com/

It's free to use, I have done for almost a year and assure you they don't
misuse your email address for spam.

"Dropload is a place for you to drop your files off and have them picked up
by someone else at a later time. Recipients you specify are sent an email
with instructions on how to download the file. Files are removed from the
system after 7 days, regardless if they have been picked up or not. You can
upload any type of file, mp3, movies, docs, pdfs, up to 100MB each!
Recipients can be anyone with an email address"
