Boxed toys tend to be manageable and easy to wrap, but if you want to buy something like a doll or a breakable item which does nOt come in a box, you can always buy gift boxes from stores like Paperchase, WH Smith and many department stores.

there may be restrictions on what the country will allow in.

need to reciprocate quickly when a card or present arrives unexpectedly, the Post Office s special delivery
service could save your blushes. The last posting date for special delivery is Decem
