I want to have a gift delivered that's not flowers

[Poachedeggontoastinthemorning]

I want to send a friend of mine a gift as she's having quite a hard time just now and I live too far away to "pop in", I don't want to send flowers, and for health reasons I'm trying to avoid chocolates/afternoon tea in a box type things. I'm stumped for other ideas though. Any suggestions please?

Thank you everyone- some lovely ideas 💕

I like the letterbox biscuits. Theres a couple od places but Biscuiteers I've used and are good

Not heard of this site before - going to bookmark it. Thank you.

Etsy. Puzzle books and chocolates.

Or Tesco delivery to send booze and biscuits. Your gift might vary.They don't wrap it but it was a good way of sending my dad an alcohol gift without being charged a fortune.

Bloom & Wild have some lovely things, candles, brownies, there is a beautiful velvet bag on there at the moment. I have a referral code so you’d get a gift or money off I think refer.bloomandwild.com/m/ol/yx4dp-8639958bf3

Rarely mentioned on this site, but have a look at QVC who will deliver direct to your friend. Huge range of stuff including (suitable giftwise) jewellry, plants, throws, food, etc.

You get £10 off, I just checked.

Space masks,

A heated blanket

A box of Lego (you can get lego flowers etc now ) - really relaxing to do

Treatbox - I've made a couple of boxes for people and there are so many options it feels lovely and personal

I went off work for a month after a bereavement and my team sent me a gift box that included:

• Face mask
• Bath products (was always banging on about finishing work so I could have a bath!)
• A candle
• fluffy socks and slippers
• herbal teas (I always drank them in the office)
• A deliveroo voucher (£150)
• £150 cash
• A book with photos of funny animals (Animal related job at the time)
• A little crystal with a groove to rub with your thumb for meditation purposes
• A 1000 piece puzzle
• a card signed by everyone

They just made it themselves rather than using a service. It sounds a lot but the circumstances were horrible and all over the media so they did a collection, so guess they had to spend whatever they raised. The deliveroo voucher/puzzle was most appreciated!

These do fabulous bouquets but they are made of fruit, daisy shaped pineapple, star shaped mango, melon, strawberries, orange segments, chocolate coated bits & pieces but all in a gorgeous bouquet … huge selection and lots of different sizes/styles/prices. Not cheap but the recipient absolutely loved it.
Now that I've been looking thru the website again I'll have to think of someone I need to send one to!
