Receiving money from abroad

Options
I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope this is the right place.

My parents live in the Caribbean (Grenada) and my mum would like to send me a small amount of money as a Christmas present (I'm guessing maybe £20-30). She has been unable to set up a PayPal account there so asked me how she could do it as her bank would charge her £20 for transferring it from her account to mine.

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

    This is really more of a financial question than a Christmas one so I'd be inclined to repost on Budgeting & Bank accounts board.
  • She could try Western Union.

    Any method she uses will attract a fee though.
