We have a range of delicious Christmas presents for sale at letterboxfriendly this year, perfect for friends, family and loved ones. As well as our fantastic Cards You Can Eat, we have a selection of both Mini Gift Boxes and Large Gift boxes packed full of delicious sweets. Whether you are after chocolate novelties, crave the retro sweets from your past, or want a little stocking filler for the kids, our gift boxes cater for all.

These gift boxes are unique to letterboxfriendly, and as with all our products, are sent out to you in boxes which are designed to fit through the letterbox.

New to letterboxfriendly, our Cards You Can Eat are a great adaptation of a conventional greetings card. Whilst from the outside they may look like a normal card, once opened you will find a sweetie treat in the form of 3 Chew Bars. These make a great alternative to the luxury or bespoke online card market.

These are available for purchase as an individual card, in packs of 5 or we can offer an all inclusive service whereby we add your message and send the card direct to the recipient. Check out our Christmas card range on our website.

Have you seen what they’ve done to the Sherbet Fountain? Its gone all modern with a sleek plastic exterior. No doubt this is far superior in terms of food hygiene and product shelf life . However, part of the appeal of this legendary 70’s favourite was its home-mady paper case, and the challenge to eat up all the sherbet before the paper went soggy, so i’m not sure i’m entirely happy with this ‘improvement’. It also seems strange to replace environmentally friendly packaging for plastic as well,this is like the green movement in reverse!

However. the good news though is that the sherbet/licorice combo still taste great, and the branding is still recognisable from the previous version.

One of the advantages of selling sweets is that presents for your family are simple- my kids wanted customised boxes for their birthdays, so naturally I had to do a special box for my husband for his 44th birthday. The obvious choice was to theme it ‘grumpy old man’ because anyone who knows him will know that this is exactly what he is. This is the man who will go on a 10 mile detour to avoid the Tyne Tunnel queues, because they make him so grumpy. Some of his many hates that get him grumbling are, in no particular order, bad drivers (those that dare to be in the space of the road he wishes to occupy), untidyness (even though he’s no angel himself), having to go to the sorting office to pick up parcels which couldnt be delivered (hence letterboxfriendly!), grown men in football replica kits, women wearing clothes 3 sizes too small…the list could go on and on.

So, we made him a grumpy old man gift box and packed it full of sweets. It even made him smile for a few minutes, until he found something else to grumble about. However, he thought it was such a good idea, he reckoned we should sell it on our website, so that we can share the joy with others. So, here it is, our Grumpy Old Man retro sweets gift box.
