Ask friends or family in the US to buy them for you and post them to you. My SIL has done this frequently for us.

You need a company that will give you a US address to use for parcels which then ships it to the UK for example

I use a lady in Florida called fairytale personal shopper and she ships to the UK for cost plus $15.

She's very good, sourced me a decendents costume for DD and puts baskets together when we go to Florida on holiday.

No idea about how to do what you're asking op, but I am desperate to go to a target! 😁

Don't forget that you might well get clobbered with additional charges by customs and Royal Mail if you're buying anything over $15 I think.

Be mindful that you will need to pay import duties on top of international shipping costs. They can be shockingly high. I have family in the US and they send me stuff all the time (not at all requested by me!) and it gets expensive (even when it’s a gift and you aren’t paying for shipping on top). Definitely look up what the cost will be on the value of the items before you commit.

You'll have to pay VAT on anything above £15 in value, including shipping, plus an £8 handling fee per parcel, and customs duty if it's worth more than £135. Keep that in mind when you order, so you're not surprised when you get the notification!

The easiest way to get them is through someone you know in the US, but there are people who do this as a business or you can get a US address to use as a PO Box and then pay to have everything in your 'container' shipped to you - but be aware that some big US sites won't ship to those anymore.
