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.

I agree Judy. Even an Amazon  credit voucher or Kindle Credit voucher. The SS is not like a competition of mothers providing morning tea for a play date. OMG  that scenario is frightening.

It does not matter a jot if you send something you have in the house, shopped for especially or ordered on line. It does not have to be wonderful, inventive, groovy or something you have spent a week making. All it has to be is  fun in the giving. It could be as humble as a card with a message.  I doubt there would be anyone here who would not be delighted with a gift from the heart. The price does not matter.

This is meant to be fun not  stressful.  Re gifting is allowed. A treasure from your pantry. Any porcini mushrooms?  Your grandmothers sandwich plate you will never use.  How about some Himalayan Pink Rock Salt. Anything from Peters  of Kensington.  Just a modest delivery fee there. Have a favourite Thermothingy recipe? Print it out and package up the ingredients from the pantry.

I may send mine some butter, and chicken livers! LOL! Well maybe not.

Any one else  with some ideas for  Suzanne?
