Mail order toy/clothes companies in Australia/Canada

[lulupop]

We have some friends who live in Australia, and some other friends in Canada. Christmas and birthdays are always hard because the cost of posting actual items from here to there is so high, and I don't really like just sending money.

I want to find a good children's toy company in Canada which I can buy from online and just have them send it direct. Any suggestions?

Same thing in Australia, only clothes I think as the children are older. Help me ladies!

Don't know about Canada but in Australia and NZ there is a lovely kids clothing company called Pumpkin Patch (if you Google it you should find the website)which does good value, good quality and fun kids clothing. They also have a couple of branches in the UK but don't do mail order here.

thanks annh - anyone else got any ideas?

amazon.ca do toys
toysrus have stores all over Canada, think they might have a Cnd website as well
Please Mum is a nice kids store (clothing though, not toys) also MEC do nice sporty clothes for kids, MEC has a website not sure about Please Mum though ( and MEC has free delivery until 7th Dec I think!)
Chapters.ca is like amazon, they may do toys too
