Many of mine are in Australia. Every year I say I will just send money (deposit it into their accounts) but then I think that is so boring so I buy presents - as light as possible.
When I get to the Post Office I always have a shock, but think that it's only once a year, apart from DGS's birthday.
DD recommended buying from the internet over there, but in fact I have found it cheaper sometimes to buy here and post them. Everything is so expensive over there, despite the exchange rate being better now.
Amazon don't have an Australian or NZ site, they can be ordered but are sent from America so postage could be high, unless it has changed now. I did find a jewellers in Australia that is cheaper than the UK equivalent and will package presents and send them very speedily. They are brilliant.
shysal that's a good idea re the gift tags.
