    This idea may not appeal, but just in case.... Have you thought of buying an item on ebay using the ebay site local to his country and asking the seller to send direct (all you need to do is enter the delivery details at the time you checkout)? Means you don't see the item, but if you choose a seller with excellent feedback, may well be a good solution.

  • If it's just something small to go with your other prezzies, these lift out puzzles are quite light and are lovely I think.

    My little boy is 17 months and only starting to show an interest in these now.

    Thanks for some nice ideas folks... I do like the Early Learning Centre maybe a voucher for them would be a more sensible idea...
