Help! Ideas for birthday present for fit active 80 year old that can be posted to Australia

5 replies

I’d like to send an 80th Birthday gift to my Auntie in Australia. She’s very fit and active, enjoys art, theatre, golf, wine, travel, eating out and bush walking. She’s diabetic so doesn’t really eat sweets or chocolates. When I’ve seen her wear jewellery before it’s been silver and very simple modern designs.

Any ideas? Budget probably about £50

A voucher for her favourite local wine?

Thanks, I’ll see if I can find out what’s nearby. Difficult when you’re on the other side of the world.

She is visiting the UK later in the year and we’ll have a family celebration then but I’d like to send her something on her actual birthday.

We have friends in Australia and usually buy online from their local Bottle Shop.

Order something locally. I've ordered sausages, flowers, wine and more consumables from businesses local to people who live far away. Even if it doesn't mention delivery on a small business website, it's worth messaging them to explain and ask. I got my relative's favourite local florist to do a cheap monthly flower subscription - it helped that it was only a few hundred yards away.

If the currency is a problem, open a cheap multi currency online bank account e.g. Revolut or Wise.
