Postable Presents

Rachel85

We have family we'll not be seeing at Christmas and so will need to post their presents. For those in the UK its possible I may be able to order things from Amazon and have them gift wrapped, etc, or use a courier (I've looked at Martin's article, and I could get a decent price given enough time..). However DH's brother, plus his wife and DS(11) and DD(9) live in New Zeland! So I need to think of things which are as small and light as possible to be posted. I don't really know their likes and dislikes, so something generic would be best. They never buy us anything despite being loaded, so don't want to spend more than £10 on each of them.

If anyone has any ideas for the people I've mentioned that'd be great. Or any other ideas for small, light presents for anyone else who has to post things to use.

Thanks in advance!

Initial thoughts... posters, pictures and photos (mounted on foam?) or calendars. Clothes can be light. What about a DVD or CD they are not too heavy either...

Thanks - can't believe I didn't think of DVDs for the kids, I could get them a Christmas film each for not much money. I like the photo frame idea too as I could even get one in a plastic frame which could be light enough and it could be for the parents to share (I know that sounds a bit stingy but they don't get us anything so it really is just a token gift).

Thanks!

I have family in America,Australia and France, I use Amazon.They have a gift wrap service too and postage rates are very reasonable.

Amazon are doing fab deals on DVDs if you are doing DVDs.
