Default Christmas present websites - help needed

Family in the UK are looking for websites to order presents for my kids from. Idea being presumably to cut down on postage. Anyone have any ideas? They need to be able to send purchases to Oz in time for the big day. So far we've found a good one based in Asia selling CDs, DVDs & games which will deliver free of charge but I really need a toy one too, digimon, Bionicles etc.

Thank you!

Have you thought of eBay? A lot of the stuff on there is new, based in Oz, and can easily be delivered to an Oz address.

Hi Loopy

The grandparents are putting money into a bank account in the uk for us to use for buying the kids pressies from them, more work for you i know but you might get more for their money, and you get to decide on the gift
