Pressie help - overseas in laws

Afternoon all! :)

My other half is Polish and his parents live over there - they dont speak a word of English (when I met them this was a challenge but luckily my OH was an amazing translator!)

I have sourced a polish christmas card which he has written to send off soon but would like to post a small something also as a christmas gift. But I am stuck for ideas?!

Obviously any food item is out and they don't drink. I have some photo's to send to them but I wanted something small and light but with a personal touch.

Any ideas from you lovely peeps?

  • If you can find the right wording/phrase, how about a painted wooden sign something similar to
    'Near by, or far apart
    You'll alway be close to my heart'
    Obviously in polish.
    If you made it yourself or commissioned someone to, it could be as small or big as you wish.

    Failing that, some companies offer gift wrapping and postage to overseas so you could order something to go direct to them? I'm not sure what companies do this, but a little research should tell you

  • Thanks for your suggestion Carla, I'm not very "crafty" really but will look into this.

    I wanted to send the gift myself with the card as its more personal and the cost isn't really an issue - as long as its not too heavy it costs a fortune!!
