The Ultimate Gift-Giving Guide for Expats

Sitting down to send a gift, card, or letter to someone can be hard to do, but it’s especially hard if you’re living in a different country. If you’re someone who is living abroad and you need to send a baby gift or graduation card to someone in the U.S., it can be challenging to plan far enough in advance so the gift arrives on time, not to mention expensive. Check out or list of easy gifts to mail (or email) and other signature gifts that are easy to send from outside the U.S.

1. Send a homemade video

The beauty of an electronic gift is that it’s free to send, but it also doesn’t always come across as personal as other gifts. That’s where creating a video collage of photos or a personalized video message comes in. It’s both easy to send and it still has a very personal touch. Finally, the perfect gift.

2. Create a playlist

Sometimes you have to think outside the box, or in this case, outside the envelope. Maybe you haven’t created a mixed tape or playlist for someone since you were a teen, but that’s all the more reason to make one now. If you’re looking for the perfect gift, what is better than a compilation of special songs to send to someone back home?
