Mailing nice gifts to China...

[pkfops]

Well lesson learned.  I sent her the photos of the necklace and the banknotes.  She liked the banknotes and thought the necklace was kind of ugly,and raved on how many necklaces she already had.  I love her candor, but damn. My kids are the same way.  I think I will just stick to flowers and cash

 

When she tells me no liwu.  I need to listen.  Saves on disappointment and money!

May not be a good idea to send her jewelry as she can

get the same thing in China for much less.

 

Just go shopping on your next visit.

Exactly. And that way she gets what she wants. My kids are girls and in their pre-teen years. I think I should just expect this is how life is going to be times 3 for the rest of my days

 

I took the daughters shopping for Christmas this weekend and they are happy, even though there won't be any real surprises under the tree.

 

Men buying feminine gifts (jewelry/clothes/etc) for women = recipe for disaster.

I've sent packages via usps a few times with no problems, last time was when I sent her wedding band back after getting it resized along with a few other things. I insured it for $600.00, paid 19.75 for postage and 7.60 for insurance. She always received my packages in 8 to 10 days.
