Care Packages Abroad

<p>Niece is in France this term. Does anyone know the best, and fastest, way to send care packages? Has anyone discovered any European web sites to send gifts from?</p>

<p>Global priority mail works for France; sadly, not for Italy, as I’ve just discovered.</p>

3

<p>I use Amazon.co.uk depending on whether it is a better deal than amazon.com. I agree, global priority works well in France.</p>

<p>Thanks for the Amazon and mailing tips! Anyone know other European retail web sites?</p>

<p>My neighbor’s mother is a major catalog/online French shopper. I will ask her tomorrow if it is a clothes company you are interested in? I know because I keep getting clothes out of the deal, that don’t fit my neighbor, but fit me.</p>

<p>Anything at all. I’m the mom figure in niece’s life and I’ll want to send little gifts on a regular basis. Thanks!</p>

<p>Here’s the online catalog (french) suggested by my friend, <a href=“http://www.laredoute.fr%5B/url%5D”>www.laredoute.fr</a></p>

<p>Happy hunting.</p>

<p>There is a version of overseas’ La Redoute website in English, in the UK.

<p>With Global Priority, it’s cheaper to send the large envelope the PO supplies than your own package. It was amazing how much stuff I could get in one of those envelopes with careful arranging and a little package tape.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! Can’t wait to shop, I’ll feel like I’m in Europe!</p>
