BIRTHDAY GIFTS BY POST
Birthdays in the UK are often celebrated with friends and family – but they often aren’t celebrated to the level of many international cultures. There are however a number of milestone birthdays that hold symbolism and require a little more celebration.
Whether someone you know is celebrating their 1st, 18th, 50th or 90th birthday or one of the many in between, it’s always worth showing how much you care. If you can’t physically be there, using DHL eCommerce UK to send a birthday gift is the next best thing.
But what happens when you’re out of birthday gift ideas? What are some of the options when you’re sending birthday gifts by post? We’ve prepared a list of plenty of options so you can impress the birthday boy or girl this year.
BIRTHDAY GIFT IDEAS
If a face-to-face celebration just isn’t possible, then booking a birthday gift courier delivery with DHL eCommerce UK can be the next best thing. From gift cards to experiences, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
BIRTHDAY CHOCOLATES
A birthday staple, chocolates can be the perfect birthday gift to send by post.
By changing the packaging to something more relevant to the recipient, or buying chocolate that can be personalised with icing, you can make a small touch go a long way.
Chocolate in original packaging can generally be sent with DHL eCommerce UK – but be sure to check our page on sending food in the post if you’re sending a chocolatey gift abroad.
GIFT CARDS
Gift cards are considered a birthday gift idea for the uninterested a lot of the time – but they can certainly go a long way when gifted to the right person.
If you’ve zoned in on key parts of conversations with the recipient and know that they are planning a big purchase or are excited to shop in a certain place, then a gift card birthday gift by post can be the perfect addition.
Gift cards can be sent in our network, just make sure to cover the true value of the gift when you book your parcel. UK cover is free up to £25.
EXPERIENCE DAYS
From F1 experience days to cocktail making classes, experience days have become increasingly popular across the past decade. With online retailers and physical shops stocking various experience packages, there are often options for a range of budgets.
An experience day can be sent just like a gift card can – but covering the value of the gift when you book your delivery is key.
GIFT A BOOK
Books can make excellent birthday gifts by post. If you know that a certain genre really speaks to the birthday boy or girl, then doing your research and finding the leading books released in the past few years could be key.
Send a birthday gift that is sure to get the imagination going with what could be their next favourite novel.
Understand how to package books for shipping and ready this gift for domestic or international travel.
SEND HOBBY BOXES
Does the recipient spend a lot of their time knitting? Perhaps they’ve talked about making candles a few times in the past year. Make a care package full of hobby-related items and send it as a birthday gift to keep them busy for a couple of months.
You can find a lot of hobby related items on marketplace websites like Etsy.
