Not sure if this is the right place to post but does anyone know of any web stores that sell Australian themed gifts to send back to the UK. I am mainly interested in gifts for kids and babies as a few of my friends back home have recently had children.

Thanking You in advance
Simon

Hi Simon, I too had the same problem and came across a web site called www.smallpost.com.au They specialise in childrens gifts and take care of the shipping back to the UK. I have used them several times now and hey have always been very efficient. They are competively priced and a no hassle solution which suites me fine.

Hope it helps

Australian geographic shop.
Their online shop doesn't seem to have the vast range that their physical shops do though.

I usually shop at the geo shop for pressies for our rellies kids.

Year before year I bought a little baby suit from one .. size was up to a year old going off memory ( they came in Wombat's and kangaroo sets). The wombat suit set that I bought for a nephew comprised of a little brown romper suit with the words I'm a wombat emblazoned on it, a hat with ears and a wombat soft toy, all which came in a little canvas wombat bag - it was light to post. I think it just cost me around $15 at the time for this suit set.

Also picked up a few soft toys that were suitable for young children/babies - a possum hand puppet, which looked very realistic - that was around $29 I seem to recall.

Anyway, for kids and big kids alike ;The geo shop is another good option . But I'd actually go to one of their shops because their online shop doesn't seem to have anywhere near their full range of stock.

cheers

Had a look at www.smallpost.com.au and have ordered a few items, got a very quick response to my order. Will let you all know when the gifts get there.

thanks for all your help.
