I will have to take a picture of my mother-in-laws garden and post it.
She loves gnomes. Says they guard her garden.
The buggers are just plain weird.

most of the parcels that have been sent to me are open by Australian customs.
However as long as you write whats on there then it gets through. For example if you write "catnip toys" (other than just plain toys) on the declaration then it will get through customs (after they have opened it lol) even though its thought that they wont allow it into the country. Many members have sent me catnip before (even pure catnip)

this is just an example btw.

Australian customs are quite strict these days - but just be honest... I promise I wont read the declaration label and in fact usually chris hides these things from me until christmas

I have had a few questions about restriction on shipping to different countries.

Here are some restrictions by country

Here are restrictions when shipping to the United States.

You may now go back to your previous gnome discussion.

So anyone shipping to a foreign country should not wrap their gift because customs will open it?

OK, just out of curiosity -

can you say "candy" or should it be "chocolate"?
can you say "toy" or should it be "cat toy"?
can you say "ornament" or should it say "gnome" ?

Tracey, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but Indiana is part of the United States, so you can go ahead and send whatever you got me
