Hola chicos, do you love receiving parcels and getting all the excitement of discovering what’s inside and what type of gift have you been sent? But at the same time aren’t you fed up with waiting in for packages or having to travel miles to the nearest delivery office to pick them up? If the answer is yes to these questions you are going to love what I’m going to tell you!! 😉
You will be very happy to know that these problems have now been resolved by PostBoxed, so who are they? They are an online gift shop & gift service selling high-quality, hand-wrapped small gifts that are all letterbox friendly. From organic baby bodysuits to handmade artisan leather wallets and fantastic Made in the UK jewellery, you will find a small present for any special occasion.
They founded the company after getting sick of travelling to their local delivery office to collect parcels. If you just want to give friends and family a gift, why should it come with the onus of either annoying a neighbour, standing in a queue or searching your garden for a missing parcel? And while we think using drones or robots to deliver parcels is all well and good in the future, there is only one way of ensuring your gifts definitely make it to a recipient’s hallway: make sure it’s a postboxed gift.
To understand a little better how this works, have a look at the infographic below:
They have a really varied selection of gifts within different categories so it is easy to find the perfect gift. This sounded very interesting and unique, and seems like the perfect service for busy parents like us. I was very keen to find more about it so I was really excited when they asked me to review one of their letterbox gifts. This was exciting as I was very curious to find out what I was going to get!
My gift was sent first class via Royal Mail and arrived the next day. I thought this was fantastic service. If you are in a rush to get a gift to someone at the last minute this would be a really good option for you. When it arrived I was impressed that it was already in my letterbox. It had the perfect size. It came in a normal parcel style box with their logo so it was very clear that this was from Postboxed.
Inside the box, the gift was beautifully wrapped which I was really impressed with. I didn’t want to open it because I didn’t want to rip the paper off, lol. I was very careful anyway as I was also very curious to find out what was inside. It also comes with a custom-made gift card which was lovely and had a really nice touch.
When I unwrapped it, I found a chocolate bar but this wasn’t a normal bar. This was a Omnom chocolate. I have never heard of them before but it caught my eye as it looks really cool and different. Apparently this is an Icelandic brand. How unique is that – very different indeed! It was a Dark Milk & Burned Sugar Chocolate.
Unfortunately, I don’t like dark chocolate much so it was a shame as when I saw it was chocolate I really hoped it was milk chocolate. However Nick really likes dark chocolate so he was the perfect person to try it instead of me. Apparently he said that it was very nice and actually tasted nicer than normal dark chocolate does, so that was great! For lovers of Dark Chocolate this would be a nice little treat but I will recommend you to find out first if the recipient likes dark chocolate just in case, ;-)!! We were lucky that Nick was very happy to try it, lol!
I think this is a great alternative to get your gifts beautifully wrapped so you can send them in a speedy way if you know what I mean. It is perfect for friends and family and they will love receiving such a cute little gift. Their are items at different price ranges at affordable levels. This could be just perfect for Mother’s Day. It is a shame that my girls are so little that they can’t check this post but I guess Nick could do something about it, lol!
I will definitely recommend them and I will use them in the future for birthdays, new baby arrivals, Christmas, Teacher’s gift, etc. You name it, there will be plenty of opportunities to use them.
If you would like to know more about PostBoxed you can also find them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and you can also browse around their boards on Pinterest.
*Disclaimer: I was sent this letterboxed gift in exchange of an honest review. All of this is my honest opinion about this service.
Thanks for stopping by,
Love you all ❤️

Sounds like a great service! The wrapping looks delightful. It’s always a good sign when you hesitate to open it because it looks so pretty! Is this just a UK service?
I thought they were very good as the service is very quick and very practical. I think they can also deliver these gifts to countries within the EU but not outside of the EU. Where about are you? x
Oh this looks so cute. I’m a bit sad it turned out to be something that you don’t really like. It is a good idea. I posted a parcel to a friend who was unwell last week but I’ve now realised it was delivered when she wasn’t home so I feel a bit bad I’ve given her an extra task to go and collect it. This concept is great to avoid that.
That is a really great idea, especially if you are sending a gift and it looks so beautifully wrapped too.
Wish we had this service here on our side of the pond. The wrapping is beautiful!
Oh what a clever idea!I can see this service being very popular!
This is a great idea for sending gifts, I hate having to retrieve things from the post office so I love that they will fit in your letterbox xx
Sounds like a great idea! Our sorting office is on the other side of the city so it’s a massive faff for us to get there – it’s good to know that when you’re sending someone a gift you’re not putting them to any hassle. Thanks for hosting #KCACOLS
That chocolate looks fab! It’s such a good idea to have letterbox size gifts – it makes life so much easier because you know the recipient is definitely going to get it without any hassle their end! x #KCACOLS
a lovely treat to give someone, I’d be very happy with the dark chocolate! #KCACOLS
Ooo I love the idea of this post box sized gifts… fed up of the postman trying to make gifts fit thru the letter box that just don’t fit lol or just leaving them outside in the bin, or garden wherever they fancy really. This sounds fab not a fan of dark chocolate thou mind, but sure they’ll have plenty of other stuff I do like xx #kcacols
Great! I love new gift ideas. Being in New Zealand but having family and friends in the U.K. I’m always ordering gifts online to be posted. I will certainly be taking a look at this website. #KCACOLS
I’d never heard of this company before – what a fab idea, I am going to be checking this out for mothers day! Lovely idea Thanks for sharing hun – now go and treat yourself to some milk chocolate!!xxx #KCACOLS
Oh my this looks like something that I could get dangerously addicted to. Looks amazing and the chocolate too 🙂 #KACOLS
We also tested this out recently and we were also very impressed with the service. They are beautifully wrapped aren’t they and perfect for sending as gifts. #KCACOLS
Wow! such a clever idea! I also have the same problem with parcels delivered at home because we’re mostly out of the day, so our parcels always end up either with neighbors or the collecting office. This one sounds really fab and the package looks well presented. Lovely post and Great Review! #KCACOLS.
The packaging of that is so pretty, and to me the chocolate looks and sounds delicious. I imagine the prices might be more expensive than buying and sending the chocolate yourself. But lots easier and quicker. Could be good for a birthday last minute. The letterbox size is a great idea, as it is a hassle for lots of people to go to the post office.

Think I’ll have a browse at their website. Sounds good. #kcacols lifeinthemumslane
What a lovely idea for sending things through the post that you’ll know they won’t have to go to the post box to collect. Will have a look 🙂
This looks like a lovely idea for sending a gift – what a great service! Great that it suits the letter box too. I LOVE dark chocolate – perhaps I will start dropping some hints around here 🙂 #KCACOLS
Wow sounds like a great service and I would love that through my door! Bookmarking for future reference! Thank you! #KCACOLS
That sounds awesome! I’m a total last minute dot com kinda girl when it comes to giving presents, so this definitely sounds like something worth checking out! #KCACOLS
Oh wow what a wonderful idea! We’re lucky enough to live next door to the sorting office so it’s not a big job for us to get there. But it can be annoying! #KCACOLS
This is such a good idea. At our last house we were always having to go to out local Post Office depot to pick up packages that were too large to go through the post box. It doesn’t happen so much now as I work from home and we have a shed where items can be left, but it’s still so handy. #KCACOLS
I love this idea! I am definitely going to be using them next time someones birthday is coming up. What a shame you don’t like dark chocolate though!!xx
Ah, what a great idea. I am going to check out what they’ve got for mother’s day. x
What a great idea. Shame about the dark chocolate (but not for your hubby!). I love things that come through the post. I am a particular fan of beautifully wrapped things and yours did look really stylish. I can see why you didn’t want to open it. Definitely worth a look. I loved the branding. #KCACOLS
What a fab idea! And the packaging and wrapping looks beautiful 🙂 #kcacols
This sounds like a great idea! It’d be perfect for upcoming family birthdays! 🙂

What a brilliant idea! I love all these postbox friendly ideas which are now popping up, cakes, flowers, and from this anything really 🙂 It’s a shame it wasn’t something you enjoy, but nice for Nick get the benefit! Hubby’s do out up with us a bit hehehe #kcacols
This is indeed an excellent idea. We have all been in a situation when we were not home to collect the delivery which leads either to a visit at your local post office or ringing a neighbour’s bell hoping s/he was there to collect it. This company actually does the exact opposite of Amazon which delivers disproportionate large box even for the tiniest of products.
You are right with the disproportionate large boxes that Amazon uses. Interesting! 🙂
