NZ'ers - GAP Clothing?

[JeMeSouviens]

NZ Mums, are there GAP stores in NZ? Long time since I've been there. I'm wanting to send something over to my cousins DGC's and can't think of what to get them. GAP always have cute kids clothes, but no point if they can get it there.

TIA

Nope. No gap here. Sob.

[JeMeSouviens]

Thanks TLK, have just realized it's the opposite season down there though to what is in store, but I could get something for next winter I guess. Mmmm

[ScroobiousPip]

Ooh, yes, I expect Gap will be a very welcome gift.

I get my mum to buy up stuff in the UK sales - so summer stuff at the end of summer, winter stuff at the end of winter. That way we get clothes in season, at a fraction of the price.

It's great being able to shop in the end of season sales , MIL buys up half of Pumpkin Patch in their end of season sales and posts it over for DS :-) GAP stock branded tee shirts and caps all year round don't they?? Or online they might have a summer clearance section.

I'm a shameless freeloader. I havn't bought clothes for the boys in the 8 years we've been here, just put my order in with family for the sales and low and behold it appears in the post

I also freeload by casually mentioning key words like trainers, jeans, socks, calpol, bisto etc while chatting on skype to my MIL. Then they too magically appear in the post. I love it!!

Gap has finally opened here in Melbourne and Sydney too to we Aussies are no longer deprived. I won't be telling MIL though

Ha ha, sounds like downunder MNetters are singlehandedly keeping Royal Mail in business.

I even order wool from the UK. It's cheaper than buying it here. If only we had some sheep.

Wow, seriously? That just seems

[charmander]

Wow on the wool front the littlestkiwi.

Although I have to say where I am in NZ I am surprised to have realised there are a lot more cows than sheep (Fonterra rules). Even the man at SheepWorld (for all your sheepy needs) said there were millions less sheep than there used to be.

[NoMoreChocBiscuits]

Charmander Australia surpassed NZ for number of sheep per head of population sometime in the late 90's. (now who's calling us sheep shaggers).

I have Sanitarium Marmite sent over here.

[charmander]

Well, fair enough NoMoreChocBiscuits. You have a lot more room than us!

How do you get stuff though customs? Sorry should start my own thread. Actually you must be in UK if you are having Sanitarium sent over. Or not

[ScroobiousPip]

NoMoreChoc - we should do a swap. I have to get my parents to bring proper () marmite out to NZ. None of that Sanitarium stuff in this house!

[NoMoreChocBiscuits]

Did that sound like I'm an Aussie? No am a Kiwi, hence so happy Aussie has more sheep . In UK though.

I like your thinking Scroobious!

[charmander]

Sorry NoMoreChocBiscuits, I am off work sick at the moment and my brain is not working properly. You are quite clearly kiwi when I reread it!
