Choosing the perfect gift can often be hard, team that with not actually not seeing the recipient in person to hand-deliver that gift and you face a new set of issues – will the delivery arrive in time? Is there a safe place to leave the gift and if they aren’t home do you really want them to have to go out and rescue their present from the post office?
Don’t worry though, there is a solution to this problem – letterbox gifts. These are gifts which can be posted through the letterbox so no more having to wait in for the postie to finally arrive and no more having to retrieve the gift from the post office.
Here are a small selection of my favourite letterbox gift ideas:
Swizzels personalised Letterbox Sweet hamper
A lovely gift for those with a sweet tooth. This box fits straight through your letterbox and is filled with all your favourite Swizzels sweets including Refreshers, Drumsticks, Love Hearts, Parma Violets, Squashies, Fizzers etc – the contents may vary from time to time but will contain a selection of various sweets.
Weighing 299g and costing £5.99 this is a gift which everyone will enjoy.
This box of sweets can be personalised with a message inside the box – there are various options you can add for your message, including – Best Teacher, Happy Birthday, Thank You, Get Well Soon, Happy Fathers Day and many more options. You can then add but to 3 lines of personalised text of your choice. You can see the full range of sweets available online on the Swizzels website: www.swizzels.com/shop
Letterbox Flowers
Flowers are a wonderful gift to receive, however, arranging a delivery can be tricky as you don’t really want to risk them being left on the doorstep if the person is out for the day.
Letterbox flowers are carefully packaged in a box which, you’ve guessed it, fits through your letterbox perfectly, without damaging the flowers at all.
A sturdy box where the flowers are carefully laid out side by side and kept moist by carefully wrapping the stems in a wet tissue/packaging. You then unpackaged your beautiful flowers and arrange them into a vase of your choice.
There are lots of different options available – the ones pictured here are called Naiyana and cost £26 – An exotic oriental bouquet of 10 long-stemmed Dendrobium Orchids in a vibrant fuchsia colour.
Letterbox Brownies
Who doesn’t love cakes and brownies? Team that with a surprise gift which can be posted through your letterbox and you are onto a winner.
Wake up on your birthday morning to find the postie has popped this tasty treat through the door and you can have for breakfast or as an afternoon treat or if you are feeling generous take them into the office and share……no I wouldn’t do that either but you could put a candle in them and make everyone sing happy birthday to you.
This gift from Pigs Pantry contains 6 brownies: 2 x dark chocolate, 2 x blondie and 2 x dark chocolate and kirsch soaked morello cherries. RRP £15

A mini pamper set through the post.
