Last-minute Valentines letterbox gifts with up to 60% off

One minute, it feels like you’ve got plenty of time to sort a little Valentine’s Day gift for your special someone, and the next, February 14 is suddenly racing towards you. If you’re scrambling for a last-minute present and don’t have time to pop to the shops, a letterbox gift is a great option. As the name suggests, these gifts are packaged up and sent straight to your loved one’s door. They’re designed to fit neatly through the letterbox, which makes them ideal if you won’t see your Valentine on February 14. Better still, the recipient doesn’t even need to be home as they slot straight through the letterbox.

Of course, these gifts don’t have to be reserved for romantic partners. Lots of people also use the occasion to treat a special friend who deserves to know how much they mean, or an important family member.

There are classic options like chocolates and flowers, but we’ve also found some lovely gifts that think a little outside the box. One letterbox gift we really love from Moonpig is designed especially for gardening enthusiasts, and even better, it’s currently reduced by more than half price. It’s a thoughtful present that shows you care without breaking the bank. You can find out more about it below, along with a few of our other favourite letterbox gift deals.

If you’re shopping for the green-fingered person in your life this Valentine’s Day, we think this gardener-themed selection makes the perfect last-minute gift. Packaged in a blue gift box emblazoned with the words “someone very special” on the outside, it’s a lovely way to show you’re thinking of them while also nodding to their favourite hobby. It’s versatile, too, so it doesn’t have to be just a Valentine’s gift. It would work just as well for a birthday or simply as a small gesture to say you care.

Inside the box, everything is neatly packaged and includes a handheld garden fork, which is ideal for pots, containers and raised beds, a small roll of twine for supporting plants and keeping the garden organised, and a pack of 10 wooden markers for labelling seeds and plants.

While the box would usually cost £29.99, which admittedly feels quite pricey based on its contents, right now you can pick it up for £12, making it 60% cheaper than usual.

The letterbox gift is available for next-day delivery at a fee of £4.99, so the last day you can order and have it arrive on time is Friday.

Bloom & Wild have a huge range of letterbox flowers, all packaged in boxes designed specifically to fit through your front door. The flowers arrive unarranged, giving the recipient the chance to put them together however they like. They do come with a little guidance on how to assemble the bouquet, but it leaves room to get creative, and you can even split the stems into smaller bunches to place around the home. The flowers usually arrive in bud and are expected to bloom over the following 48 hours.

One of our top picks is the aptly named “Romantic Pick”. It’s a great choice if you’re looking to send seasonal flowers that feel a bit more fun and vibrant than a traditional bunch of roses. That said, Bloom & Wild also offer roses as a letterbox gift. This bouquet is made up of 18 stems, including tulips, stocks, alstroemeria and rosemary, in shades of pink, lilac, orange and yellow.

At £29, it’s a lovely option that won’t break the bank. As an added bonus, Bloom & Wild offer free next-day delivery with Royal Mail, available Monday to Saturday. You’ll just need to place your order before 10pm for tracked next-day delivery.

You can also opt for guaranteed delivery from £5, which is available Monday to Sunday.

In a five-star review, one shopper said: “We have used Bloom & Wild for many years, and they have never let us down. Great quality and excellent service.”

This selection of six cocktails is a clever way to send a ready-made celebration to someone you love without them needing to answer the door. The cocktails are packaged into small boxes that slip straight through the letterbox in one neatly sized parcel. It’s something a little different from the usual gift and a fun way to raise a glass to the day of love, whether you’re celebrating romance or friendship.

Nio Cocktails offers a wide range of drinks to choose from, and there’s also the option to create your own selection. The curated Celebration Box, however, includes six classic cocktails: a Margarita, a Negroni, a Gin Sour, a Mai Tai, an Old Fashioned and a Daiquiri.

The selection usually retails for £39, but right now you can get it for 15% less, bringing the price down to £33.15.

The cocktail parcel currently has a five-star review, with one person saying: “Fab cocktails. Makes a great gift for friends.”
