Online shopping
 
I have left it a bit late for sending stuff to the UK for christmas, so am planning on ordering from UK sites.
Has anyone found any good ones who will deliver straight to the person in the UK?
Thanks? :)

Most online sites will allow you to deliver to someone else. As long as you put your details in the invoice section you'll be fine.

Amazon is always a favourite.

I always use good old Mark and Sparks, they do a gift wrap and card service as well for an extra $4 I think it is, can't go wrong with Marks.....

Just spoke to a uk friend this morning and she said, due to all the snow they had, alot of online shopper sites are not confident they can deliver on time and im sure M & S is one of them.

Have used Gifts to the Door http://www.gifts2thedoor.co.uk/ really really good, they email you when they get your order, email you again when it been sent and and then email you to say it's got there, plus if you have a problem you can either ring or email and they answer you very quickly
