Letterbox Gifts | Meet The Maker

As part of our regular Meet the Maker series we're pleased this week to speak with Eleanor co-founder of Letterbox Gifts. Based in Yorkshire, this female led team of gifting experts take the stress and hassle away from gift buying with a beautiful selection of personalised gift subscriptions, each delivered as a surprise gift set through the letterbox each month.
What sparked your decision to start up your box and how did you get started?
We wanted to make the experience of quality gifting easy and stress free, whilst still being heartfelt and thoughtful. So much care goes into selecting each quality product in our Letterbox Gifts, sourcing only from ethical British companies, then beautifully hand-wrapped in our Yorkshire-based workshop. We wanted to create a Letterbox Gift suitable for every occasion; from moving into a new house to adding a new addition to a family, 21st birthdays to 50 year wedding anniversaries, or simply just because someone needs a pick-me-up, you will always find a thoughtful Letterbox Gift for that someone special.
Describe your box in three words?
Thoughtful, Quality, British
Where did your box name come from?
Our boxes are letterbox friendly, delivered straight through the door, hence Letterbox Gifts!
Are you a creator or curator?
Curator
What is your most popular box?
The Pamper Box and the Pregnancy Pamper Box
How many people are involved with producing your subscription box?
A small female-led team of less than 10.
Which subscription boxes do you subscribe to?
Some foodie & wine boxes!
Name a celebrity subscriber you’d love to have as a customer?

If you could put anything in your box, with money or scarcity no object, what would it be?
We would love to find a way to deliver Champagne through the Letterbox. We already sell Letterbox Wine, but we'd like to add bubbles!
What do you love about uOpen?
We love the option to buy a subscription or a one-off box, as we know shoppers love flexibility.
Do you have any other information for our uOpen audience?
We are launching a new range of premium greetings card next month, which are always included in each Letterbox Gift purchase free of charge, with a personalised message.
We're always adding new gift sets and updating existing ones with new products and flavours, so keep an eye out for updates on our Instagram @LetterboxGift
