’Thank you’ gift ideas for someone shielding

11 replies

My budget is up to £50.

I’ve spent ages looking on Not on the High Street and can’t find anything that jumps out as being the right thing.

Any suggestions?

Tricky! I'm currently shielding and would love a food type gift like brownies or posh chocolates
Flowers/jewellery
Luxury bath stuff

I've just sent someone a cut and polished crystal in a little presentation box. It's the type you can hold in your hand and fiddle about with....like a worry stone sort of thing.

Flowers through the post were my first thought but I know they’ve been leaving parcels received in the garage for 72 hours before touching so decided against that and then thought the same issue would apply to food-type gifts.

It’s a bit tricky because I don’t really know her well enough to know what she might like.

I know you are unsure about foodstuffs but so long as they aren't too short a date it should be okay? We had a lovely delivery gift from Betty's (tea rooms in Yorkshire), beautiful box of posh fondant fancies and chocolate eggs for our children. Lots of lovely things on their website and could pick carefully something that will last a few days quarantined in the garage! Nice teas, biscuits etc?
