Have you sent anyone something really nice?

[FizzyPink]

I know I know there's lots of arguments for not adding to the deliveries being sent and stopping ordering online but it's my sister's birthday next week and I'd like to send her something really lovely to make her day a bit nicer.
I wanted to send these from Doughnut Time for a bit of fun - www.doughnuttimestore.com/product/the-design-yo-own-kit/66?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=2 but they're currently sold out.

Any ideas?

Have you looked on don't buy her flowers? Loads of lovely ideas.

I sent a friend a delivery from Hotel Chocolat.

I sent my friends some Brew Co tea anonymously. They still don’t know it was me and I intend to keep it that way.

Got my MIL some flowers for her birthday beginning of the month. She said it made her cry as she was missing us all and didn't expect it. I also brought her some shopping around a few days before as she was isolating and I put a birthday cake in with it. Serves 28

Is anyone local to her doing deliveries? A couple of cafes in our area are delivering cream teas and cakes to people. Also some restaurants are doing a delivery service - Cote are delivering meals to heat through or to put in the freezer (as well as delivering wine and meat).

I’ve ordered a gin hamper for my sister, it’s not her birthday til Wednesday so I hope she likes it when it comes.

My friend sent me a neom candle and face cream to de stress after work. It was a lovely thought and much appreciated

I've sent booze and books and some craft things for children. Some via local shops, crafts via Amazon unfortunately.

I got my folks a retro sweets hamper.

I sent my in laws a box of treats from Pudding Parlour. And one for myself.

I bought a friend who is run off her feet as a keyworker some expensive bath stuff and left it on her doorstep as a surprise (during my daily walk in case anyone starts frothing.)

I've done flowers from local places that are still delivering, my mum has sent my sister some cheese & chutney as it's her 40th birthday tmrw! Double check the donut place as looks like they have 2 other types in stock, think the sold out one was their easter one. Some local places to me are doing afternoon teas for delivery.

We’ve sent books to several people via small local book shops.

I bought my mum some bottles from Lyre’s. She’s had to give up alcohol for health reasons and has found the evening very long with fruit squash and cups of tea.
She now has nice bottles of alcohol free spirits to sip and enjoy.

DD2 is staying with her boyfriends family, I sent a Cadburys hamper for Easter to them.

I sent my daughter in law Gower Cottage brownies

Sent my parents a Ringtons hamper

A friend and I are going through our friendship group and sending random presents. We're loving it :-)

This is a great idea. @QueenofLouisiana where did you get those bottles, please? Or if anyone knows a good online retailer for Seedlip, that would be appreciated!

I think you can buy Seedlip and Aecorn from Waitrose Cellar online, both excellent non-alcoholic suggestions. I've also sent a Cornish cream tea in the last (via Amazon) and a gorgeous blanket from So Cosy who I think have a sale on if you're quick

@Defiantly41 thank you, I’ll browse a bit.

My dc sent dd's bf an Easter card +mini eggs to him in Italy.. Poor lad is on lockdown alone.

turnedouttoes if you can wait until Wednesday for shipping, there’s another link option for pre ordering from Doughnut Time?

@JingsMahBucket (love Oor Wullie!)
I found the drinks here: lyres.co.uk/

The customer service was very friendly!
