i notice last year a lot of people bought gifts for the kid as well as the mum, and i only bought for the 'mum'.
are we supposed to also be buying for the child or not? i felt a bit bad that i didn't . . . ------------- |

Is up to you how you want to spend your $20 Something small for the child/ren is ok but mainly for the mum as a special treat. Unless anyone dissagrees???

Same here, my SS was nice enough to send something for the kids as well, and I only sent something for my SS... although technically since some of it was edible, meant she 'could' have shared if she wanted to... ;)
Ironically I had never met her before then, but have since had catch-ups with her several times and am dying to ask if she got the joke about the edible part!  ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

Of course you can! Its for all ohbaby forum members
The concept is for a small gift for 'mum' as a treat some have popped in thingsfor the children but you do not have to or have children to get a special treat. |

Might make it a bit pricey to send a package... whoever gets you will just have to be creative and get something worth $20 that fits in a standard envelope -------------

Aussie people posted at their own expense or sent it to NZ to be posted from here so people couldn't work out their match, and they provided an NZ address for it to be sent to them and forwarded on from there. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Oh okay, please disregard my PM, seems a bit much to pay for postage 3 times!
I sent one lollipop to my sister in Auckland the other day, it cost $7.20!! Wouldn't wanna know what anything bigger would cost 
Thanks anyway, hope everyone has a great time this year! x ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Would you be open to shopping online kriss? if you found a website related to what someone is interested in (ie/ someone who loves sewing, you could find an NZ fabric store and buy something and get them to post on your behalf?)
same goes for most stores, they are generally happy to post as a gift for you... might be an idea? then that way there isnt the aus-nz charges. just the exchange rate which is accounted for online. also we can try to match you with someone else in Aus if you would prefer |

That sounds fantastic, what a great idea! Shipping between the countries is just ridiculous. Thanks for that! Hope you haven't deleted my pm hehe x ------------- http://lilypie.com">
