Gift for someone in Estonia...

Not sure I can find anyone to help, but here it goes:

I've been trying for the last 2 days to buy a department store gift card to a friend who moved to Tartu, Estonia. Has to buy many new things so I thought this would be nice.

I could have get, thanks to a friend, a card for one but they don't have a store in Tartu :mad: (no way my friend would do 2 1/2h bus trip for shopping!)

the other big one, you have to buy them in the store (in tartu or tallinn) - I can't find anyone (friend of friend of friend) that could go and buy one for me. I even contacted the store to check there was no other way, said no.
Found a site selling them online but can only post to addresses in Tallinn :mad:
(again contacted them, but they replied only tallinn was possible)

I would have like to find some store like ARGOS... :confused:
Could only find pixmania, who sells gift certificate and have an estonian site, but my friend does not need anything from pixmania really.

I decided, instead, to get some currency and send it (hoping it won't disapear in the mail).

BUT if anyone here, from Estonia maybe, know any other store I could try (online store maybe), i really would like to do something like that (a bit of a challenge for me :p )

Thank you.

    yep, had a look at that -
    but I'm thinking with the postage fee I feel a bit like you don't get as much for your money (amazon "Rest of the world" delivery fee).
    also I was looking for something a bit more 'local' :)
