I have a friend in the USA and it will be her birthday next week. I want to buy her a gift from The Body Shop. However, The Body Shop will not accept my payment as I am based in the UK and not the USA.
I have tried PayPal but still no luck.
I may be able to get the same off eBay but the service will not be the same nor will they gift pack it for me - so I don't want to risk it.
If i buy from The Body Shop here in the UK then it will either be too expensive to ship it out our too long a delay before she gets it.
I have spoken to The Body Shop customer care in the USA but they are fixed with their policy to only accept payments from USA residents.
What can i do?
I know she likes The Body Shop and am running out of time.
Any ideas anyone?
How can I buy a gift for my friend in the USA?

why don't you see about sending a money order to her over night or send her money through money gram or western union this way she could go pick it up and go by her self something from the body shop with the amount you send her this seems like it would be the best thing to do i would say
Is there a way to send her giftcard for The Body Shop like an egift card? Many companies have giftcards available for purchase online on their website and the person receives an email with the card info. If you can't get her something from The Body Shop maybe do something else like flowers or an edible arrangement ( bouquet of fresh fruit shaped to look like flowers). I've sent those to friends and family when I've been abroad.
