I've heard space heaters make a great house warming gift.

I want to buy something a bit fancy, but moderately small and light (I have to post it) I'm just wondering what we're traditional gifts in days gone by, or just something nice rather than practical really.
House plants are traditional, difficult to post but you can buy them online for gift delivery to your chosen address.

Don't think the on-line gift shops would serve there, I'll just look for some kind of ornament thingy.
Gifts are a minefield. If they have previously owned a home then they'll probably have everything they need. If it is something for the house then they may hate it and feel obliged to use it. I would suggest the following three options:
1. Something they can eat like a small gift hamper, there are online cheese merchants worth a go.
2. An ornamental candle - if they don't like it they can burn it.
3. Vouchers so they can buy something they do like.
With all three of the above they aren't stuck with something they don't like.

Thanks, her dad's really into cooking so I'm just gonna buy a garlic press, a chopping block with a curvey knife thingy.
I'm also gonna send a tin of Fray Bentos stewed steak and a tin of corned beef cos they love it and they can't buy it there.
