Sending a gift basket or hamper to Australia from the USA?

Q. Hi, I live in the USA and need to send a nice gift basket/hamper to Australia. I have spent countless hours online with no luck. The best USA gift basket sites have very limited choices in international delivery, while the Australian hampers would be nothing original. Does anyone have experience in ordering a quality gift online to be sent out of the country? At this point I feel like my best bet is to shop for an Australian hamper to be sent within Australia. I just wanted some neat american cheese or wine I guess... Thanks in advance.

A. Before you buy anything outside Australia for sending into Australia, you should check out on the customs pages as there are numerous items that cannot be imported in (without a special licence).
especially food products.

Have you thought about perhaps making a little gift basket up yourself? Have a think about items (not necessarily food) that is more Americanised (ie obvious choices for someone sending from aus to us would be boomerang, kangeroo, koala etc) That would be original! (and would probably save you money too!) have a thought as to what the person you are sending to likes!\\

Good luck!

Does anybody know if the Visa gift cards work internationally?
Q. I want to buy a Visa gift card here in Australia- and send it as a gift to my mate in Venezuela.... anyone know if it'd actually work over there... I know that they except VISA over there... but that's all I know. Any help is appreciated.

A. Yes, but only at participating stores. Call them ahead of time

A. It should be good where ever they accept visa cards, it's just like a credit card, and i work at a bank, so we always recommend our customers to use their credit card when they travel overseas. I don't think they should have a problem with it.
