When researching exciting and beneficial gifts for a loved one’s birthday, it is hard enough to find something that you know they will absolutely adore.

Even harder still to source an interesting and useful gift for a birthday, Christmas or other milestone celebration that is small enough to send in the mail to an international friend or relative (and that will remain intact), not cost the earth to send, but still be meaningful enough to be worth something to the recipient.

1. Flowers

The beauty of the modern world and its total embrace of all things related to online shopping, is the plethora of opportunities available to order a beautiful gift from your home in one country and have it delivered safe and sound from a supplier located near to your loved one internationally.

Flowers are the most wonderful gift for any celebration, be those birthdays, anniversaries or any other milestone event and there is a plethora of beautiful and established online suppliers who will be happy to arrange your floral gift. The best bit? Packaging is simply paid for with your order!

There is a wide number of benefits to gifting a subscription, which include access to reading material that your loved one may not have ordinarily been exposed to, expanding one’s mind, motivation to make time for reading and also the relaxing and calming escapism that reading affords the individual.

4. Flower, Plant and Herb Seeds

Naturally and quite logically, one would have to thoroughly research the laws and advice regarding the sending of seeds overseas of the destination country, but often flower, plant and herb seeds are allowed as long as they are able to be randomly checked. However, if the law allows it, the gift of flower, plant and herb seeds is one of the most thoughtful presents for your loved one overseas imaginable.
