The Best Letterbox Gifts for 2021

Let’s be honest, the longer we’ve been indoors, the harder it’s been to get creative with gift ideas. There are only so many bunches of flowers one person can receive on their birthday before their lounge starts looking like a florist!

Ready to send something a little different in the post? Here, we’ve laid out everything there is to know about these lockdown lifesavers, from how they work, to their benefits and a whole host of inspiration. Strap in party people, it’s time to discover the very best letterbox gifts for 2021. 

What is a letterbox gift? 

A letterbox gift is exactly that, a thoughtful gift posted directly through the recipient’s letterbox. And they don’t even need to be home to receive it! Genius. 

As the country has adjusted to life in lockdown, the popularity of UK letterbox gifts has absolutely skyrocketed. From foodie selection boxes to arts and crafts packages, postal gifts are the perfect answer for those looking to send a present to a special someone while social distancing, thanks to the benefits and safety of contactless delivery. 

And don’t fret about losing that personal touch, either. The majority of letterbox retailers offer personalised gift-wrapping options and beautifully designed cards, too.
