HI, Hope someone can help I need some ideas for a female birthday for someone living miles away. Infact any ideas for other family members living as far. Because I'm running out of ideas, and I don't want to keep sending money, also I hate sending money by post because I've had people I know send money and it has got stolen! Anyway any help will be great, thanks

If you order from Amazon they will deliver to another address, you also have the option to say if it's a gift then they won't know how much you've spent:) I use it quite a lot.0

I use amazon too with the gift option. Other companies such as Thorntons, M&S etc do the same thing. You could do Balloons by post or flowers. The options are endless really as most companies will deliver to alternative addresses.
Check in the code forum for free p&p or other discounts before you buy.0 -
thanks both :beer:.. Don't know why never thought of them. I will have a look:D0

Agree that Amazon are good, I also use Play.com a bit but their postage takes a little longer. Depending on where you live how about something local to you that they won't generally get where they are? I moved to Scotland 2 years ago so will often send family little Scottishy items and they will send me things from my old area that I can struggle to get up here.0

i find this company good and you can google a discount code of 10%. they usually have a few under £20, I usually deluxe for £5 then use the 10% code so ita nearly the same price as the original bunch.Thank you to all the money savers:beer: for all the wisdom, companionship, bargains, competitions and ideas:T you have made a transformation to our household, Thank you, it would have been so much harder without you and together we are amazing :A:smileyhea0 -
Hi I've used Amazon to send gifts to family that's worked well. I've also had an orchid delivered to me from M&S from one of my friends which was really nice, a change from a bunch of flowers. Also we've had presents from Tesco delivery on Birthdays - Beer/wine/choc! which was really nice.0

The other option is to get their favourite wine / luxury food delivered to them?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Most of the women are fond of jewelery so, I think you must send item related to jewelery, or if not possible you can send a gift card.0
