A lot of on line companies are small businesses. I'm sure they would be happy to include a note from you with the gift. Then you could send just about anything from smoked salmon to plants. My DD in Australia is always sending fruit trees to my husband. Well she was, we have 6 now so have called a halt. I'd always love some nice plant supports.

I recently enjoyed two separate days out with old friends. I am unlikely to see them for at least several months. In both cases I was taken out for a lovely meal and not expected to pay for my self. Now I want to send a little note with a postable gift and would welcome suggestions. Gift tokens don't seem quite right.
About £12 would be right, more would embarrass I think. They are in their 70s, in one case a couple with a lovely garden, not especially big but beautifully kept and colourful. They might like some special biscuits. The other friend is a single woman, well travelled with bright original taste in furnishings, I wondered about a cd or book for her.
All ideas welcome!
