Hey Australians - Gift Question

[Shotgun 1]

I'm wanting to have a gift sent to my Australian in-laws - a plant or gourmet food, or something like that. Something like FTD or Harry & David in the U.S., but those companies don't ship overseas. Does anyone know of a good company to order from down there?

Thanks for the info.

I was wanting to bake something and send it myself, but my husband didn't think I could mail something like that to Australia. Though I'm looking at the USPS website now, and I don't see any restrictions about baked goods. His mom used to send us home-baked cookies from over there, but at some point she was told it wasn't allowed anymore, so we just assumed it wasn't allowed from here either.

Anyhow, I might just go with interflora. It looks more expensive than similar stuff over here, but I guess that's just how it is.

Thanks, y'all.

Cooked food will generally get through, but it will be opened. Put a note in the top with ingredients etc.

If you want to purchase a gift, someone like Maggie Beer is interesting and fun: http://www.maggiebeer.com.au/products/category/hampers.

The big problem with Interflora is you don't know how good the florist will be. Better to search for "wodonga florist" or "albury florist" and go from there.

Yikes, it sounds like a hassle to try to ship any food stuff to Oz. Think I'll forget that idea. Thanks for the link.
