Letterbox Gifts – Our Top 10!
Letterbox gifts have been an absolute godsend over the past year and a half, helping us celebrate special occasions at a time when we couldn’t be there. But we think letterbox gifts are here to stay!
What is a letterbox gift?
A letterbox gift does exactly what it says on the tin! It is s sweet, thoughtful gift that fits right through your loved ones letterbox. Maybe there is a special birthday to celebrate, someone who needs a little cheering up or just a lovely little surprise pressie, there is a letter box gift for every occasion. Because there is nothing worse than sending someone a gift only to find out they have been left with the red card of doom saying that they missed their delivery.
We have rounded up our favorite letter box gifts from all over the UK – from Gin in the post to pamper kits. These gifts can all be bought and sent to your loved one and fit straight through their letter box.
Here are our top 10 letterbox gifts-
1. Letterbox gifts for tea lovers – We are huge fans of a good old cuppa (who isn’t?!) but Bird and Blend tea is a cut above the rest. Send your loved one the gift of a monthly tea subscription straight through their letter box. Bird and Blend have an incredible range of truly unique teas, from Pink Prosecco to Pumpkin Pie, the tea lover in your life won’t be able to wait to try them all! Extra points for their eco friendly packaging and tea bags!

3. Letterbox gifts for adventurers – We LOVE gifting experiences. The Indytute has some of the best, unique experiences on offer. With lots of to do at homes kits as well as quirky and fun in person experiences, they offer something for everyone. You can choose to send a gift card and have them choose their own experience, or choose an experience for them and post them a voucher for your chosen adventure.
4. Letterbox gifts for spa lovers – The gift of self care is a gift that everyone can enjoy. Letterbox Beauty was started during lock down as a way to share a little tranquility during a difficult time. They have different letterbox spa kit options to suit different needs and they all include high quality products at really reasonable prices. Because sometimes a moment of peace is the best gift you can give someone!
5. Letterbox Gifts for those with a sweet tooth – Imagine this: You are on your 30039th day working from home. Your morning started with a dreaded zoom meeting and eaten yesterdays leftovers for lunch. It’s post lunch slump time and you make yourself a coffee to get through. Then BOOM – the postman pops some delicious biscuits through your door and changes your whole afternoon! Biscuiteers have created gorgeous, quirky letterbox biscuits to celebrate all occasions. They offer vegan and gluten free options and some of them can be personalised too.
6. Letterbox gifts for Flower Lovers – A lovely bunch of flowers can brighten up the dullest day. At Bloom and Wild, they carefully hand pick and pack your flowers while they are in bud, so that they last longer. The flowers fit straight through the door and even come with styling and arranging tips so that the flower arranging becomes half the fun.
7. Letterbox gifts for boozy buddies - We are partial to a G & T every now and again and one of the best lock down letterbox gifts we were sent was a wonderful gin kit called Drinks by the Dram. It included a dram ( 3cl bottle) of 5 different gins for us to try from all over the world, along with tasting notes for each one. They don’t just do gin though, you can get whiskey sets, rum, vodka, brandy and even absinthe!
8. Letterbox gifts for coffee lovers - know someone who is more partial to a lovely rich cup of coffee rather than a tea? We highly recommend Perkulattes monthly coffee subscription box. Hand selected coffees from around the world, ground how you like it AND they even offer a coffee and chocolate subscription box which sounds absolutely delectable.
9. Letterbox gifts for book lovers - This letterbox gift is for the bookworm in your life.
