Sending stuff home

Christmas is right around the corner. I know that is going to be the most awaited month in a year because everybody can get and give presents. I just hope i can also send the shipping boxes home and get there before christmas. My parents and siblings are expecting some new stuff from me. I already told them i'm going to send them off next week. (Alright, if I have money i will). Husband do not really like the idea of sending stuff home. He knew it cost a fortune to send plus we can never guarantee the safety. It happens 2 times before. Anyway, I have to find shipping services that is reliable or if not i may have take these stuff next time i come and visit.
