I didn't join the gift shep for 2 reasons:
1. Postage to and from Bahrain is terribly expensive
2. The pet shops here are rubbish, so to get a nice gift I'd have to buy stuff off the internet, shio it in, then ship it back out again!
Just as an FYI, I think most Internet vendors will let you ship directly to a gift recipient. I do this when buying presents off the 'net for my family in Illinois, rather than paying to have something shipped to me and then paying again to ship it to them. You don't get to wrap the gifts that way, but it sure is a lot less expensive!
