On line gifts to the UK, Xmas is coming. ??
Just wondered if anyone had any favourite sites, that they reguarly used or could recommend. I'd prefer something with an Aussie flavour of course.
Do people really send food hampers over, that used to be a big thing years ago, doubt if it is needed in any way shape or form these days.
What do you send ?
Or do you just go down the local shops, and make up a parcel yourself ?

Thornton's Choccies always go down well
And for cards (all types not just Christmas) try www.moonpig.com , all the cartoon greetings cards and many more you can find in the newsagents but you can personalise them with names etc. Works here in Aus too, I ordered a couple and they arrived next day with an Aussie postmark so must have a distributor over here too. Good for late birthdays for overseas recipients as you can even write inside the card online.
