long-distance wedding gifts..

[sara3]

my older sister, who lives in Australia, in getting married in January. it's her THIRD TIME!

we're not that close but I'd like to send a gift. they live in the middle of nowhere, and are doing up a shack of a house. they keep a lot of animals.

any ideas of a reasonably unbreakable gift I could post? the budget is.. I don't know, £50-ish.

thank you :o)

a wok to deep fry locusts, thai style.....haha

Why not make a nice piece of cross-stitch which you could frame? You could make the wording appropriate eg "Congratulations on your Third Wedding Day, hope this is the last". I know, I'm a bitch!

Send your children (and your girlie's free-loading pal).........help around the farm-stead and a quiet couple of weeks for you!

Win-win.....!!!

cross-stitch? me?? btw, it's his 3rd time too!

I'd love to send the kids + 1 ;o)

fluff.. ewwwww..

[sara3]

thank you Ellipsis, I'm looking now.

[sara3]

exactly, S-C... exactly!

What about some snake/spider anti venom.

[sara3]

yeah.. I might leave that to the experts!

[daisya]

Could you "wire" them the money to spend on what they would like...not the same as a gift I know but it might be cheaper than posting something out there?

how about giving her a moonpig moment?

[anneasquith]

sara, what did she " do " with the other 2 ?

[sara3]

no 1) happily re-married in the UK
no 2) still busy hating her in Australia

daisya, I don't want to send money or a voucher, but thanks.

cazzz.. I could do that for a card. I could make something appropriate, "here comes the bride, here she comes again and oh, isn't that her again?"

S-C, do me a copy of yours, pet x
