transporting gifts

My aunt is hosting a bridal shower in Florida next month, but we live on the other side of the country. Obviously, we won't be able to fit all the gifts in a suitcase. So what's the best way to get all the gifts home? Mail them all in one bulk shipment from the post office? Is there a cheaper/better way?

    We had our wedding gifts mailed to us. It's not going to be cheap, but we really didn't see any other way.

    The post office is usually cheaper than UPS or FedEx for that sort of thing.  Some of the airlines do shipping, too.  You could call and price it.

    i returned most of my gifts to williams-sonoma and bbb for store credit, and then "re-purchased" them when i got home.

    Can you bring an extra suitcase or two, pack up some gifts and have your aunt and other close people bring them when they travel to you for the wedding?

    Nope, the wedding is in Florida too. That's where I'm from and where all of my family lives. I really like the idea of returning the gifts to bbb and then buying them again out here. I think that's at least worth a try. If it doesn't work, then we'll just have to pay to have them all shipped out here. It'll be a good trial run for the wedding. (Although hopefully for the wedding most people will realize that we live far away and mail them. At the shower though, I think people want to see us open the gifts in person.)
