I bought a kindle a couple of weeks ago, thought that it would make an ideal Christmas present for my girlfriend.

Now I am looking to send it and it seems a bit more complicated than I had thought it would be for a fairly cheap item, with customs forms and maybe import duties etc.

Maybe I am overthinking it and should just stick it in a box with an address label, but I want to make sure that she doesn't have to pay any import duties, I want to make sure it gets there, and as it is a gift I would like it to stay wrapped up and a surprise until Christmas day.

Anyone have any advice or experience about the best way to send such a gift?
