21 gorgeous letterbox gifts that are sure to make someone's day – from pamper boxes to gifts for chocolate lovers
Letterbox gifts are a gift from the Gods when you can't see your loved ones in person or need something sent speedily. They reign supreme as the cheap gifts to beat all others, and they remain a fail-safe and day-brightening gifting choice, whatever the occasion.
Whether you're on the hunt for a birthday gift for her, gift for him or a best friend gift, letterbox gifts have you covered. Not only do they make the entire thing so easy - (all you need to do is choose your favourite and it arrives, pre-wrapped, through their door) - but they're compact enough to slip through the letterbox. The perfect gift if they've already returned to the office and aren't at home a lot.
Though they are small, letterbox gifts are mighty – and despite what you might first believe, there's a gorgeous and huge range of letterbox gifts on the market for you to choose from. M&S letterbox gifts remain a popular choice (they've got everything from letterbox flowers to Christmas letterbox gifts and packages filled with Afternoon tea snacks), but Book Block are experiencing something of a boom. It's not hard to see why: their most purchased letterbox gifts are pamper boxes that contain cosy socks and everything you need to make a first-class cocktail. What more could a gal wish for?!
Elsewhere, Etsy is another epic place to head if you're after letterbox gifts - they have lots of options containing everything from wellness goodies to dried flowers and brownies. Speaking of which - high-street hero Lola's Cupcakes has recently launched a range of chocolate letterbox gifts... and trust us when we say the red velvet brownies are worth dying for.
