Last minute gift by post .... ?

Hi

I need to send a last minute gift by post to be delivered by Christmas! I dont want to spend much but it is for a 'best friend' who has moved away and I dont think I will have time or chance of getting into town to get something or a voucher to slip into her card and catch last day for 1st class post.

I dont really want to put money in the card but hoped to spend around £5 to be delicered to her by normal post.

Ive tried looking around online but cant find anything suitable.

Anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks :)

  • How about http://www.sugarpoke.com/ ? They send biscuits or chocolates with a personalised card by 1st class post. They have some small items for £5.99.
  • How about some of those face masks in individual packets?
  • Thanks for the suggestions, I sent her an Airial topper pingpong like an Angel and a car sticker and keyring that reads "Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly!" :D She is a spiritualist medium so I think this is apt and she will love them I know.

    Don't count on it being delivered for Xmas now though. We have a mail order business and our supplier said last day for gaurentees was yesterday
