I would like to do the same, but worry about the stuff getting lost in transit etc.

How do you send yours?

Last christmas we just sent money. But I don't like doing that unless I have to. Would prefer to send a box of goodies.

This year has been a bit of a bumper year for Forex. We've sent 7 Jumbo boxes already. (Each Jumbo get a medium box for just £20)

The last two boxes we sent did take 8 weeks to Davao though (5 weeks to Manila and 3 weeks from Manila to Davao :doh)

Anyways, in the 10 years we've been sending, we've never had any problems ---
touch wood ----- Hope I haven't spoken too soon, the xmas boxes will be going soon.
