ask for help and suggestions for a specific type of gift that can be delivered?

[HelpMeRhondaMe]

I have a friend who is in a difficult situation and helping a lot of other people - she's a saint really but is very down in the dumps as she's under a lot of pressure from all sides. She deserves something cheering. I'd like to send her a gift that can be delivered that would bring her a bit of fun to her door.

I'm looking for something a bit unusual that would be cheery and fun rather than pampering - so not flower, chocolate, alcohol or those sort of gift boxes that you fill with pampering things. and something that is immediately there and then - so not a voucher for a massage or spa.

I was thinking of something like a squishmallow cuddle toy - a bit joyful and silly - but that isn't quite on point as a bit childish - but meets the immediate, joyful and cheerful brief.

but then got stuck for something better.

Any ideas?

Possibly not appropriate but there’s a company that sends a 3ft cardboard cutout penis through the post. They do one with the message ‘Keep Your Pecker Up’. Only you know whether that would make her laugh or not.

@Yellowpingu so many questions.

How did you discover this?

In that vein (see what i did there) how about a lifesize cardboard cut out of her favourite celebrity.

It came up on social media and I might* have sent one anonymously to my BIL because he’s a prick.

*definitely did. I’m a bad person

What about a personalised pork pie? Obviously not if she's Jewish or veggy, but everyone loves a pork pie, and you could have it personalised to say"cheer up!" or similar. It would cheer me up no end, quite honestly.

What about a comedy cushion? Its a bit like a hug through the post.

A celebrity message. My other half got me one from Ricky Tomlinson (Jim Royale), it was brilliant.
It used to be called celeb vm but they've changed to hi-ya.com/

If someone sent me a pork pie in the post I'd no longer be their friend!!

A really good bullet vibrator ?

I'd be made up with a pork pie!

No penises or vibrators! This has taken a downward turn 😀

It's not that sort of friendship!

And she is down not horny!!!

@TwinCheeks what kind of thing do you mean as a acomedy cushion?

I've just ordered a letterbox afternoon tea from M and S for a birthday gift.

I was hit by a car at weekend and one of my lovely friends sent me a Just Eat voucher so that I don't have to worry about cooking when I feel up to eating, could be something nice for your friend to take some of the pressure off?

A Hedgehug?

Food? Nice cake / brownies? Hamper from a nearby deli? There's a vegan brownie company called Cake or Death (poss London only) that send lovely boxes that always go down well xx

So few people reading the brief..

@HelpMeRhondaMe for a cushion just something cheery your friend likes.

For the dog lover!

Biscuiteers are my go to for little fun gifts when a friend needs uplifting - www.biscuiteers.com

What a nice thing to do for her.

Harrods will deliver and their teddy bears are not that expensive and it will come in Harrods box or bag will look nice. This is the page to the soft toys.

ooh thanks. some nice avenues to explore here
I like the hedgehug and harrods teddys.

@TwinCheeks sorry but I find those dog face cushions a bit scarey!
the pug one looks like he's being held hostage and is trying to communicate without saying so in front of his captors.

M&S do a letterbox selection of Colin’s and their sweets selections.

Can you do in real life those messages delivered by a group of people signing acapela? That you see in movies? I always thought they would be fun and they'd definitely make me smile with the right song / ensemble if I were down
