Sending Presents
I need some help please my daughter son in law and 3 granchildren are moving to Perth mid feb. I would like to get them some presents for when they arrrive. So they don't have to worry about carrying them on the flight also I thought it would be a nice surprise. As I don't know anyone in Australia can any of you help please. If I send a parcel over when would be the latest I could send it. Also flowers can I order on interfora?? Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hi Patricia,
I normaly order prezzies for my partner and my 4 year old son (they are in Brisbane) from giftsaustralia.com efficient and quick and much cheaper than sending a parcel, you can also order flowers with them, or your local flower shop as long as they have the interflora sign.
Regards

Hi Patricia,
You can order flowers fron Interflora.co.uk to be delievered in Australia or go to interflora.com.au for the Australian site (in AU$ instead of £ though).
Internet shopping is not as good as it is here in the UK, although I do order presents from Amazon.co.uk for my dad and the delivery charge is not too bad.

Re: Sending Presents
We had some gifts sent to us this year from the UK and both couples used a company called www.wishlist.com.au - they are Melbourne based and not sure what area they cover but you have a look at their website to check it out.

Thank you to all of you that replied I will try the websites you have suggested.
My husband and I moved to Spain last March and found our local message boards really helpful. So has my daughter using the Australian ones. We are really looking forward to visiting her once she has settled. So thanks once again.
