Best Etsy letterbox gifts, from pamper boxes to brownies
You know what they say – good things come in small packages.
Letterbox gifts are a great way to surprise a loved one with an unexpected present, without having to pre-warn them they'll need to watch out for a delivery van.
The problem with ordering gifts online is that it often requires hampering the recipient with the inconvenience of having to wait in for a parcel, or run the risk of them having to rearrange delivery.
Thankfully, many sellers on Etsy have created wonderful gifts that can be delivered even if no one is home.
From delicious brownies to plush pamper packs, clever craft kits to trendy fashion accessories, it's amazing what can be wrapped up to fit in a parcel small enough to slip through a letterbox.

If you know someone who deserves a good pampering, this thoughtfully curated box will ensure they feel well looked after.
Each "Hug In A Box" contains one sheet face mask, a 30ml sachet of Anyah Eco Spa Treatment body lotion, a 30ml sachet of Anyah Eco Spa Treatment body wash, one Anyah Eco Spa Treatment soap bar or shower steamer, a rose and citrus heart bath bomb, cosy grey socks, a “just for you” shortbread cookie, two vanilla tealights, brightening under eye patches and a handwritten card with your personalised message.
Wildflower Dried Flower Letterbox Bouquet | £25 from ShropshirePetals on Etsy
The problem with sending letterbox bouquets is that they require the recipient to trim the stems and keep the arrangement topped up with water and plant food. Not ideal when you want to let someone know you're thinking of them at a busy time in their life - be it the arrival of a new baby, or to congratulate them on a new job or house move.
Dried bouquets are far less hassle and once arranged will last much longer than even the most well-looked after fresh flowers. This dried wildflower bouquet is made from stems grown and dried on the family run Shropshire Petals farm.
The Happy Birthday Box | from £9.99 from EliteTreatKitchen on Etsy
Treat those who love a cookie with their cuppa to this box of handmade shortbread hearts.
Available in boxes of four or nine, with flavours including pink strawberry bellini and raspberry, seal salt and milk chocolate. You could even have a personal message added to one of the cookies (for an extra fee).

These gorgeous soaps smell as good as they look, with scents including lemon sorbet, mulled wine, lavender verbena and citrus blossom.

Pick 'N' Mix Sweet Box | £5.75 from Ohmysweetbaby on Etsy
