Any Buffistas in London these days? I'm going to be there end of July through the first week of August...

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Typo - you still trying to figure this one out? Because it might be easier for me to go and buy something for her and post it from here, if you like?
I'm not sure whether Paragon Department Store or Emporium do Gift Certificates, but I wouldn't be at all surprised - they're both super swanky places and there'd be something there she'd like, for sure.

Aha! Yes - this: [link]
Alternatively, a quick google brought me this:
Gift certificates for a hotel, which she could exchange for spa treatment/delicious meal/whatever?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Thanks Fay. I think one of those will work. Her birthday was yesterday, so I got a friend who has been on Skype long enough to qualify to buy vouchers to buy one, compensated friend with a check, and emailed the voucher to her.
But I'll definitely use one of these next year. Probably Emporium: since she lives in ChaingMai I don't think a Bangkok centric gift makes sense.
I'm really irritated at the Skype "you can't buy vouchers until your account is three months old" rule. I'm still trying to figure out how that can possibly prevent fraud.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best wishes for Clara and Fiona and the whole family.
