IF YOU WANT to send something to Australia, Canada, or whereever your mates may be, now is the time to do it.
1. FOOD
Obviously. Pick out the things they might be missing, the usual suspects being Tayto, their choice of tea, Jacob’s biscuits, and the good Cadbury’s chocolate. You can even use A Slice of Home to get them there on time. Gifts Direct do excellent hampers, too.
An Irish girl abroad would bite your hand off for a haul of Penneys shite. Think makeup, fluffy socks, pjs, hats, jewellery, anything. Honestly, just go in and grab things and but them in a box. She’ll love every single item.
The beauty of the scrapbook has been lost a bit with the internet. Sure, you’ve kept them up to date on every social media platform available but make the effort for Christmas with some physical photos and handwritten letters from a few of their mates and family members. Who wouldn’t love to get that?
