Sending to Aus

I need to send a celebratory gift and card to a friend in Brisbane. Postage from the UK is hideously expensive, so I was wondering if there was a website/online store anyone could recommend? Sort of like an Australian John Lewis where they can ship straight from there? Or any other ideas?
Thank you!

I know it's not directly answering your question, but check out parcel hero, their shipping cost is SO much less than parcel force/royal mail.

I live in Brisbane. What are you thinking about sending? How much do you want to spend?

Fortnum and Mason do international shipping and some nice gifts?

Might that work out, £-wise?

Thanks for the quick replies! I'd like to send a gift for a new baby. Probably £20 tops x

Bonds is great for new baby. Think all your basics as is cotton on kids (both should get something in your $ range, plus bonds was 40% off recently.

If looking for something a bit fancier try country road or seed. But you might need to up Your budget. All do shipping. All Australian companies.
If all else fails next deliver here and is cheap comparatively speaking.

A lovely book they can read to the baby. Look on the book depository, free postage worldwide.

David Jones or MYER should be able to help.

My parents always use amazon austrialia for new baby presents, normally books.
