Letterbox friendly gift ideas for DD needed please

33 replies

CompleteBarstool · 28/10/2020 17:35

DD is away for her birthday (midway through a 6 week placement ) so I'm looking for something to send her on the actual day.

She's already had her presents from us as it wasn't practical to take them with her but I want to send something fun, cheery or whatever to make her smile.

Where she's staying doesn't have anywhere for things to be left safely and she will be out on placement all day so it needs to be something that will fit through a letterbox.

Any ideas please?

It's a bit of a cliche on here now but Bloom and Wild flowers are lovely.

I was going to say bloom and wild!

First things that come to mind are letterbox flowers (eg bloom and wild), sweets (etsy) or brownies! Not super out there adventurous but could make her smile.

One of my friends got given a letterbox cheese toasty subscription once, a bit niche I know!

ooh that's an idea, thanks both.

I don't suppose they come a "vase" bag do they? (just in case there's nothing to use as a vase where she's staying)

Biscuiteers do letterbox boxes. They're extremely 3xpensive for what they are but they do taste good! (And they're beautiful)

Piglets pantry afternoon teas are nice and letterbox friendly they don't have sandwiches in so they can be posted .

Brownies would be good (if they'd last for a while as --unlike her mother- - she's quite disciplined when it comes to treats!)

Earrings, small necklace, a bracelet, a nice ring. Some of these would even fit in a birthday card.

Letterbox wine is a real thing. It comes in a flat plastic bottle in a thin box.

Don't buy her flowers is a good site that put together different boxes. There are lots of book ones if she likes reading? I use tea time bookshop. I've seen lots of chocolate and cake ones on Google.
