Pre-wrapped Christmas presents

I’d like to buy my friend some nice presents for Christmas, but I’m abroad and unfortunately because my pregnancy is a bit complicated I can’t come back to the UK for Christmas.

She’s on her own with her daughter, so probably won’t have any presents wrapped up as a surprise.
Does anyone have any ideas for shops that will wrap presents for you and deliver in the the UK?
Budget is up to about £60 (although can be flexible for the right thing). She loves books, photography, silver jewellery and vintage things.
She’s vegan so food gifts are tricky (everyone else is getting a cheese hamper!) and doesn’t really like bath/body products.

Thank you

This is a lovely idea. Selfridges do a gift wrapping service, but also sometimes individual sellers on Etsy will do a really nice gift wrapping if you email and explain the situation. That might be more personal.

Amazon will wrap purchases. Or rather they put them in a gift bag.

@SayAaa thank you so much- I’ve just had a lovely couple of hours browsing through the Selfridges gift selection and picking a few things out!

@Leeds2 that’s really good to know- I’d actually already ordered a couple of little things for her and her daughter on Amazon so hopefully they’ll come in a gift bag (I specified they were gifts because I didn’t want her to see the price so fingers crossed it’ll work!)

Not on the high street would be good for this. It’s a collection of loads of small independent businesses. They sell jewellery, vegan hampers, lots of gift ideas. You can filter by “gift wrap available”.

Etsy would be another good idea for a small businesses. Most things I buy off there are gift wrapped as standard, but you can ask for it as an extra too.

I'm afraid on Amazon you need to actually pay for gift wrapping as an extra, if you put that it's a gift but don't pay for gift wrapping then they simply remove the price information from the sheet and it's inside a brown cardboard box/wallet as usual.

White Company has nice gift wrapping. Nice photo frames and jewels.
