About Us

Formed in 2009, Letterbox Friendly is a small family business based in the North East of England. Established at a time when the concept of gifts fitting through the letterbox was still in its infancy, the business was born of frustration, caused by never being in when the postman delivered a parcel. Our bespoke cardboard packaging has been designed to fit through most standard letterboxes, and we hope that the arrival of one of our colourful sweetie filled gift boxes puts a smile on peoples faces.

Different designs

Our Sweets and Chocolate based retro gifts have many different design options for all occasions, such as celebrating a loved ones birthday, providing Christmas candy gifts for the family or just to let someone know you are thinking of them. Whether it's sending your grandma on a trip down memory lane with some old traditional sweets like Midget Gems and a Sherbet Fountain, or just putting a big smile on your child’s face with some strawberry millions and a jelly snake, we've got things covered, with our traditional sweets gift boxes and our kids sweets selections.

Different selections for taste or dietary needs

All our gift boxes have a full list of contents and ingredients on the bottom of the box, and we highlight any allergy specific information, as provided by the manufacturer. As all our gift boxes are always made up to order, where possible if requested  we will try to  substitute items with specific allergy or dietary issues, such as making the gift box vegetarian, vegan or dairy free.  Please note, however, that all weighed products are packaged in an environment that handles products with allergens such as soya, nuts, peanuts, gluten, dairy, eggs and sulphites so this is not always possible. Please ask though and we will do our best!
