How do you send a parcel from the uk to another place in the uk?
Your friend can almost certainly buy some curling tongs for the same as it will cost you to send her some. Better to send money by cheque or postal order. You can send a gift token but that restricts your friend, they can only buy from the shop you got the gift voucher from and, gift vouchers can get lost in the post too. Yes the Post Office is the best for sending parcels but, an expensive item should be insured by sending it registered. You can go to the post office with your parcel and ask them to tell you how much it will cost you to send it by registered delivery. If you think that the cost is excessive then you can say that ‘I can not afford it’ and leave with the parcel unsent. Send your friend the money to buy their own item. They will also get the guarantee in their name by doing this. If you buy it and send it, by law, you are the one who has to deal with it if it is faulty.
