Help with Australian present

12 replies

Hairyhat · 19/09/2019 16:11

Hi, sorry for posting in AIBU but I wanted the traffic and not sure where I should post this.
I want to buy a lovely young woman a present for her 21st but she lives in Australia. Is there something I could buy but she could redeem via online? Or can I get something sent to her address without paying massive postage costs? Some company that's operating in Australia.
I don't know her very well but I know she's into gaming and is very studious. She works so hard (at Uni) and doesn't have very much money so I was hoping to get her something to say happy 21st but was useful (to her) too. Does anybody have any thoughts?
I'm so out of touch!
Also the birthday is the end of this month!

I get my friend Amazon vouchers. Make sure you buy them from the Australian site and in Aus Dollars. You can have them posted (from Amazon Aus) to the friend or email vouchers.

I use this website to send gifts to my friend in Aus - it's like the Aus version of not on the high street and you don't have to worry about posting something from the uk as they deliver all over Australia: www.hardtofind.com.au/

Myer and David Jones are the two big department stores in Australia. You can order stuff online from the UK and get it delivered to an address in Australia.

For an Australian friend I looked online at local restaurants in her area, and found one with good reviews. Then I found them on Facebook and asked if they did vouchers - they let me pay by credit card, and then posted a voucher to her for me. She LOVED it!
I’ve also sent vouchers for places like Ikea which has Aussie stores, and Bunnings - their equivalent of B&Q - which you can buy online and get delivered to the recipient....probably not fancy enough for a 21st though!
Also local florists could send a nice bouquet that you pay for with a credit card.

Oh great thanks for these suggestions. I will look into them now

M&S and Next both have Australia sites and you can pay by PayPal with normal postage costs

auspost.com.au/shop/gifts. Australian post office, there are lots of gift vouchers. I often use it for family.

Mark's and Spencer have an Australian site, they have some nice gifts.

I love David Jones for ordering and sending gifts!
