    It's my godchild's birthday coming up. She lives in Australia with her dad, my brother.

    I don't have a clue what to get her. She will be three years old in February. I have to have something in the post soon so it gets to her in time.

    Can I get some gift ideas from after hours?

    Fairy door is a GREAT idea! Afaik it's and irish design, you can make the story up with her over Skype and it's an easy out for any other presents you have to send!

    The fairy doors are really popular with this age group. My nephew is 3 + loves his. Now they probably don't know about them in Australia so would be good to give a bit of background when sending them.

    Another option in the future if you ever want to buy a lage present that you can't send by post is to buy from an online toy company based in Australia for example toys r us + then they deliver it for you. We did this for our nephew + it was no hassle at all.

    Order off amazon or ebay australia. Amazon do gift wrapping. It cuts down the delivery time massively.

    Or just order straight from an australian toy shop.

    May I suggest a frozen doll. I doubt there's a three year old girl on the planet that can't recite that word for word.

    Name a star after her. I did this for my godchild and although he was only one at the time I could tell he loved it.

    Seriously though it's a great sentimental gift and comes with official certificates and documents (including the location of the star in question) that she'll be able to keep for the rest of her life.

    A lorry load of stuff from Ali Express delivered to her for free.
    Should set you back no more than €20
