Delightful Ideas
Choose presents that are light in weight but heavy on joy. Consider cozy socks, marshmallows, hot chocolate powders, or jewelry as great gift options that won't increase your postage costs.
Size Matters
Pay attention to the dimensions of the gifts you want to send. Smaller packages mean cheaper shipping costs, so choose your presents wisely. The maximum dimensions for a small parcel are 45cm length x 35cm width x 16cm thick.
Digital Decisions
Save money by sending e-books, music subscriptions, or online courses, which cost nothing to send. If you do need to send a physical present abroad, check if you can order it within the country you are mailing it to and have it shipped directly, as this is often more cost-effective.
Wrap Smart
Avoid bulky packaging that can increase your postage costs. Use old newspaper as an extra layer of padding or package your gift inside another present, such as wrapping a scarf around another gift.
