As I mentioned only recently, a very special friend of mine (and her wonderful husband) moved overseas within the past year. Ideas for small and leightweight things that can be easily posted to them for Christmas have been going around and around my head for a while now, so I thought I’d share some of these ideas in case anyone else is looking for inspiration!

 

The ideas with the asterisk* after them are presents that could be handmade. Also remember to check relevant customs guidelines if posting overseas.
