The weeks are flying by and we need to start thinking about Christmas presents. A friend is flying back to the UK end of November and has offered to take back any post/parcels we might have to be posted - a great opportunity to post some Xmas presents. Does anyone have any ideas of original flat pack presents to send? We don't want to send anything too bulky. Any ideas, anyone who is used to doing this?

Thanks, Dawn

Picture tea towels, you can get some really lovely ones. Also there are a lot of places that do souvenir tea spoons in little boxes - they have pictures on the handle of the spoon.
Pens and pencils with pictures of Aussie animals always go down with with kids and don't take up much room, and t-shirts of course - they are always a hit too.

I was going to send everyone I knew in OZ a present but by the time P&P was added to the small heavy gift it meant the cost was more than the present was worth. This year i have sent books from Amazon to them as a gift order and gone on to OZ sites and ordered gifts in OZ to be sent to them. This way I do not have to worry about p&P the item and sending something small to keep costs down. Have also sent things from the OZ Ebay site to friends out there and they are going to wrap them for me for the big day. I know it is not the same but have sent all the usual t-shirts and tea towls etc before.

I was told about a really good website the other day:

www.hamper.com

They do nice pressies (not the old tin of ham crappy hampers!) and even aussie themed hampers & can quote prices in au$.
