It's my nephew's 1st birthday in a few days - is that the answer?

Haha.

Yea, you can do all sorts of things to get around it. I was particularly fond of shipping computer parts to a relative in the states, then having her open everything out of the original packaging then reship it.

Also, I've yet to incur VAT on items shipped underneath homemade cookies.

This laptop gift cost 35 quid I swear mr HMRC person.
