I thought it might be a good idea to put this as a sticky until we have finished with this so it is not lost.

Sending to another country is quite simple actually, the person should give you their full address, such as, if i was to make up a US address, you could take the following address to the post office and it would make it to the US:

Daesania
12345 Main Street
Omaha, Nebraska 68123
United States of America

If you put it in that format, that would make it to that address in the US. I would assume that when we PM our addresses, we should put it in the format that whomever is taking it to the post office should have the least bit of trouble mailing it off

that's right. There might also be customs forms to fill in, but they are very easy, and the post-person will be glad to help.
Take advice, too, before wrapping up your stashmas goodie. In the bad old days, customs men used to unwrap all presents when they arrived in the US (of course, that could have been a failure of humour on their parts, but this was before 9/11).

When it's nearer the time, perhaps a list of hints for packaging might be a good idea for those sending things overseas? :thinks:

I've sent tons of stuff overseas, i'd be glad to help with that. You are correct, the postal people are very helpful, i know i was confused the first time i filled out a customs form and they helped me - they do this stuff day in and day out :)

As you can see the sign-up list is now closed, Dawn and I are sorting out who will be sending out to whom, so we will be contacting you all soon individually to get your contact details and tell you who you're buying for!

The wish list thread has also been started here so you can tell your Santa if you want something in particular!
