Google hasn't been my friend on this one, so looking for some bright ideas! My lovely Japanese friend's birthday is coming up next week, and I have left to too late to post a gift to her in Japan (without it costing a small fortune!). I'm wondering if there's some fabulous service where I can buy a gift in Japan and have it sent to her locally. Or failing that, a gift voucher locally? It can't be an unusual idea, as postage is so cray to Japan, but I can't find anything like this. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find a service like this please?
