Looking for Lightweight Gift Ideas for Family Overseas

RE: Looking for Lightweight Gift Ideas for Family Overseas Post By Shellee (Guest Post) (07/01/2008) Have you sent some of those freeze-dried fruits and veggies? What about those mini-whatevers (Zen garden, ticker-tape parade, bonsai, etc...) from Border's?

At another dollar store I bought them each a pair of toe-socks to co-ordinate with their scarf. Each prezzie cost around $7 each and the scarves look very expensive. I even had a few friends from work pay me to knit some for them! They won't weigh much and won't cost too much to post. Personal presents made well in advance of xmas!

Looking forward to other suggestions coz I have family overseas as well.

(Beacause it added too much weight) If they are overseas, maybe there are food items they cannot get over there. I send things like Pop Tarts, Top Ramen, Kool-Aid, etc. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Lightweight Gift Ideas for Family Overseas Post by lindal (57) | (11/06/2004) Contact How about gift cards to companies that will ship overseas that they might like, and that have web-sites to order from. A digital camera if they don't have one, or web-cam might be super gifts, too. Report Spam or Abuse
