Default Sending Christmas Gifts from UK

My son and daughter in law today have moved to Singapore to work and live. Has anyone got any tips as to how I can send a gift for Christmas , the only firm I can find so far is Interflora.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there and welcome to the forum

What about some gift vouchers from some Singapore stores perhaps? Hopefully some Singapore residents can advise.

That is a good idea. Please to say my son and his wife have landed safely in Singapore. I have tried to contact M & S in Singapore but they dont reply because their 'in box' is full if you please. What a way to run a business.

So it is back to the drawing board , thank you for your suggestion.

Must be some other stores I would've thought.

In the 60s there was a store C K Tang in Singapore town. Does C K Tang still exist or has it disappeared over time. You can tell I am getting on as my memories are from a long time ago.

If anyone knows of any stores in Singapore , trustworthy ones, that do sell vouchers I would be most interested.

Thank you. What a good site.

Oh yes....I was down in Singapore for a few days a couple of weeks ago and walked through there. I've just googled for you and see that they do gift vouchers. Here's the link:

Blimey I am shocked. They always were a bit like Harrods and I had hoped they would still be in business.

Thank you for the link.

I have emailed them this morning and they have replied already, what an efficient lot they are, unlike the M & S outlet in Singapore which just shows an in box stated as 'full'.

These people are very good and you can pay by Paypal so secure. They do all of the currency bit for you.
