Do your Christmas shopping post-haste with UK indies and creatives! Our #letterboxgiftsday
delivered hundreds of different and exciting #shopindie gift ideas that can be packaged up and sent on your behalf in plenty of time for you to settle into seasonal celebrations.
These are just some of the examples we’re delighted to share (clockwise from top left):
- Clothes. . . like fun boxers for men from Yorkshire’s Jolly Boxers. “A very useful idea and perfect letterbox gifts,” they said.
- Art. . . like black and white original pen and ink art from Swansea’s Rusty and Boots. “It can be mounted, sent directly to the recipient and there's free shipping too.”
- Earrings. . . like a handmade pair from an extensive range offered by Cornwall’s Oceanic Jewellery. “Start your Christmas shopping early with these,” she wisely counselled.
- Knitwear. . . “our soft merino Marlet scarves are very post friendly,” said Shetland’s nielanell. “We can post any of our contemporary Shetland knitwear.”
- Thank you tokens.
. . like ceramic hanging hearts from Lincolnshire’s Ashes & Oak. “Send direct with a personalised notecard for a special thank you,” they said.
- Brooches. . . “how do you get a teapot through a letterbox?,” asked Leicestershire’s Perfidious Jewellery. “When it's a really useful brooch! Wear it as a hat pin, lapel pin, tie pin, shawl pin. . .”
- Badge sets. . . like this Christmas set from Liverpool’s Bluebirds and Daisies. “They’re great for stocking fillers, Christmas Eve boxes, advent calendar fillers or just pop them in a card!”
- Gift bags. . . like attractive and eco-friendly fabric bags from Yorkshire’s Rachel Fearnley Textile Designs. “They are reusable and a gift in themselves. Each one is printed by hand and can be made to almost any size.”
- Finally (centre) pure quality in a package
from Buckinghamshire’s Embroidered by Pauline, a golden hare embroidered and scented lavender pouch. But you'll have to look for other letterbox-friendly gifts on her site. This one's been sold already!
