Christmas
 

Hi everyone, Just noticed on another thread someone mentioning xmas.

Question for you. I have a lot of family in Oz, mainly qland and some near the Blue Mountains and I would like to get them pressies.

Does anyone know where I can get some form of oz shop/store that would gift wrap and deliver pressies in Oz???

Just wondering if would be cheaper as well than sending over a parcel.

I am sooooo going to watch this post! I am just about to buy Chrissy presents and send them, so will be interested to see. I know Angus & Robertson book shops will wrap gifts and send them to an address you specify but am interested in other stores too. :)

Hi
If you wish to send some pressies in Aus try http://www.petersofkensington.com.au/

They have a broad range of products, gift wrap for free and deliver Australia wide. They are based in Sydney. I have used this service alot. They have perfume, foods, some very unusual things, (I bought my sister an automatic opening rubbish bin).

Just a suggestion, hope it helps as it is much cheaper than posting, better service and more choice as you do not have to deal with customs.

Regards

I know these two online gift shops. However, I have never used them and therefore, can't vouch them!!

Guess I should be getting those Xmas cards sorted to send to the folk back in the UK. :-)

does anyone know if any of those accept payments from overseas though? That has been my problem with buying pressies for people overseas in the past - you get right to the checkout and then they won't accept payment on a UK card!

Hi All,

Here's a good one www.gifts2thedoor.com

They've got a huge selection, deliver the goods themselves in the Perth region and use Auspost for the rest of Aus!
They even throw in a free wrapping and giftag service and are very, very reasonably priced too! ;) :)

Give them a go! :D

Cheers

Re: Christmas
 

I forgot to mention that you can also order from the UK!! ;) :D

Re: Christmas
 

will have a look for you. I can name tons of shops that do delivery. But only debenhams who gift wrap. give me a couple of days and I will find out places in the uk that deliver gift wrap for xmas.that also accepts pmts etc from oz. ;)

Hi,

I saw someone mention www.cumquattree.com.au earlier. I have actually visited the store in Perth and it is gorgeous!! I didn't realise they had a website - I have just been on and it is beautiful. Pressies for bubs, mums, dads..... Delivery seems cheap too at $8.95 anywhere within oz - with free gift wrap... They have got a couple of cute little clocks, I will check if they send to UK too since i wouldn't mind some things for me!
