And by the time I log on they have replaced it with some more sensible drivel and the explanation that it was a code of ethics.

So I got a $20 amazon Gift Card (thank you CP)! What one can buy for that, when shipping is at least $8.5 and electronics have custom fees too...
Organic Turmeric Soap?
Blindfold Cover?
Strainer for pots?
Any idea?

probably a movie or some music. shipping fees render your gift card almost useless.
You could use it to offset the shipping fees on a larger purchase, perhaps.

The fact that your gift card is limited to 20$ doesn't mean that you should buy something for that limit exactly. I have sent my wish-list by mail, but it keeps bouncing on your address, complaining that it is over 25 Mb.
