just found out some relative of mine got engaged in Melbourne, Australia, going to be a party this month (in 3 weeks), Engagement party gift isn't neccessary I read, but what would be nice to send out there from the USA? Can I ship Macy's International?
Answer
If you are invited to a engagement party and they are putting on a free feed and refreshments it is customary to turn up with a gift, especially when they stipulate 'no gifts'.
I often have goods shipped from the US to Australia and for it to arrive within three weeks you would have to send it express post which usually takes just under two weeks. Normal Priority Mail can take four weeks. Depending on the weight this could prove very expensive.
Why don't you look up websites of Australian stores like David Jones (top end), Myers, Harris Scarfes, Target, Bunnings, Dan Murphys (grog) and buy something from them using a credit card (Visa & MasterCard are widely accepted)
If you don't know what they would like ring up one of their mothers perhaps. Youngsters of today are into the latest gadgets they tell me

Engagement presents? Ideas?
�-(�`v�
My best friend is getting engaged next month. Personally I think she's too young and the guy is WAY too old but i have to be supportive bcos she's been the most awesome friend to me and i love her heaps. I was wondering if people bought presents for engagements and what u usually buy.
I have no idea. Should i buy something for the couple, or just for her?...they aren't going to live together until they are married so home ware stuff should probably be saved for the wedding gift.
Any ideas for gifts would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks!

Usually engagements aren't really gift giving occasions. But my best friend got me a wonderful wedding planning book when I got engaged. It had planning tips, budgeting sheets and check lists. It was kind of like a binder so there were pocket-folds in it to keep contracts and receipts, etc. I thought that was a nice gift.
I think she just got it at a local book store.
An empty photo album would be a nice gift. I know now that I am married I need to buy a few photo albums to keep all our wedding photos in (not every wedding photo will go in a professional album, but we would like to keep a lot of the photos to look through). So if I had gotten those as gifts it would have been great!
Hope that helps!
