Aussies! Need help for baby gift!

[AmberWaves]

My brother and his wife had a baby girl yesterday, and we were planning on shipping them some gifts. We found though, that it''s very expensive to ship a box to AU (suburb of Sydney, actually), and we''re looking instead to ship from a place in Australia so it''s local.

Can anyone suggest a place to find online that would be easy to buy from? We''d ask the new parents, but we don''t want to disturb them, plus we want it to be a surprise.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks Tgal, I was totally at a loss.

I really don''t know all the sites either. I''m sure the Aussies can help when they get up for the day...it''s still early over there...

Thanks again, it''s really hard to shop long distance when I only know one thing: no pink.

I totally understand that, but I want to make sure they''re going to be happy with what we are getting them. Can anyone give a good suggestion? Perhaps they''ll have too many baby clothes, and really don''t need another onesie (albeit one with the Spaced Invaders logos).

Hi Amberwaves,

You might want to try http://www.bambinipronto.com.au if you are looking for gifts other than clothing. I''ve ordered from their site a few times and have always been happy with their products- I couldn''t live without ''grobags''(baby sleeping bags). Pumpkin Patch is also good for good quality cute clothing. Good Luck!

This looked good too!

Thank you guys SO MUCH!! It''s so hard to shop for someone I don''t know too well. I''ve only met my SIL once, and that was after the wedding two years ago. I don''t know if my brother''s tastes have changed, and my SIL never really said much to me about herself.

I''ll take a look around, Peter''s of Kensington was where they registered for the wedding, so it may be a good idea!

Thank you for all your help!

Sorry I missed this-just wanted to say both pumpkin patch and Peter''s are great- PP clothes are great quality and wear really well and Peter''s service is fantastic.

Congrats on your new niece!

Huge congratulations, auntie AmberWaves!

I third Pumpkin Patch, their stuff is so gorgeous. I buy clothes there every year for DH''s brother and sister (now aged 5 and 7) and have done since they were babies. This place looks cute, and is already in New South Wales so hopefully postage won''t be difficult or costly. Their wraps look adorable.
