Love the letterbox hugs - always nice little goodies - especially the socks :) - and lots of variety to choose from. Makes a change from the standard bottle of fizz (although you can get those too!) P... See more

Perfect gift

Great selection to make your own box and very good prices for contents. Some very cute and practical options. Delivered on the chosen day in time for a birthday hug.

Let down by delivery carrier

Parcel has not yet been delivered (over a week). Carrier has twice reported Unexpected issues but offered no explanation or arranged another day. five days ago they said they tried to deliver but nobody answered - they did not go up the long driveway as person was home. I subsequently (five days ago) updated delivery instructions on where “safe place” was but had no futther information on when my friend can expect delivery. Not good enough.

Wonderful small business

Wonderful small business. Great selection, fantastic quality and fast delivery. My friend loved her gift box. I made a mistake in my message, which the ladies kindly amended for me. Will definitely use again. xx

Fantastic, thank you!

I've both received and sent a gift box via Box of Hugs, and the experience each time was fantastic! I recently had a box delivered to my own address as I was giving it to my sister in person, and Anna took the time to email me to double check I had put in the correct address. My sister loved what was in the box, and I will definitely be sending more via Box of Hugs in the future! Thank you!

This is the second time I've ordered…

This is the second time I've ordered from Box of Hugs and I can't say enough good things about them. They are quick, efficient and the item themselves are always gorgeous. My mum said the chocolate was divine and she will order another box for herself. These guys are fast becoming my go to for thoughtful gifts.
