There are lots of items they can't get over there I have been sending for 20 years and sometimes you do have to bite the bullet and accept the postage etc but talk to the parents as being over here you have no idea what the little girl has got already even in books or even what she is into personally I would never buy any of my grandkids when they were primary school age without consulting the parents now mine are all teens or nearly teens they can give me their own wants, likes, needs
This year I got a 'football list' from the grandson ( not getting club tops and socks etc over there) and money for a festival ticket for the eldest, so easy peasy this year
