I think Suzanne was just having a little joke!  But for anyone who is looking for simple presents from the home here are my suggestions:
* uni's limoncello
* flavored salts from FFS
* make up some spice mixes eg ras el hanout and fajita seasoning, peri peri and include some recipes to use them
* the Christmas hamper thread will also have some good ideas

suzanne, if you are having difficulty getting to the shops, online stores are a great place to shop. The Book Depository will send books anywhere in the world free of charge and you can have them sent direct to your SS recipient otherwise the postage from your end would be a crippler.

Sorry Judy I was having a little joke I do all my shopping on-line me and the delivery driver are on a first name basis, just saying life is so busy at the moment I am struggling to get out of the house in the 6hrs the boys are at school

Hally I sent 2 books to the UK recently and they only took a few days but to Aust, yes probably up to 2 weeks but with Christmas coming it may take longer if you leave it too late.

 today l am going to the big smoke to buy my secret santa gift

 l hope l find a really nice gift for them  as sometimes when you have lots of jobs to do you dont get time to wander around the shops and look .

l have  a few ideas so hope it works out

[Amy :-)]

Good luck nazar, I'm sure you will find something wonderful

[meganjane]

My gift will be a mix of home made and bought. It's fun thinking of things to make that I can post and that will last until Christmas!

[Wonder]

I think my present arrived today. I'm only waiting on one online purchase and its something very light whereas this is a very heavy package. I'm very excited and will put it away until our Christmas tree goes up on the 1st December, it can then take pride of place as the first present of the year.

[Amy :-)]

Exciting news Wonder! And you are one of the patient ones who can wait until Christmas

[obbie]

Wonder how exciting..

[astarra]

Yay, Wonder.
