Here's Your Definitive Guide to Lockdown Gift-Giving

Christmas is going to look a little different this year. With so many people shielding, we're relying more on being able to send each other presents through the post. That, paired with the fact that a lot of us lead different lives than we did last year, means it's time for you to get creative with the gift-giving, and we've got your back. Here are some great presents for a Christmas like no other.

Subscription Boxes

A subscription box fits the bill perfectly- they're designed to be sent via the post and we have loads of options available- from a Stirrd box for foodies to a WBC YA Book Club subscription for the young adult in your life. Subscription services can be sent directly to the recipient, so you don't have to worry about going to the post office or wondering if it'll arrive on time. Plus, your gift will keep on giving- one payment will mean your loved one will get a present every month for as long as you'd like.

Our Favourites;

Books

Right now, lots of us are looking for ways to travel without leaving the house, and books are great for escapism. Plus, they'll definitely survive a trip through the post if you're sending them to someone who's shielding or if you're shielding yourself.

If you do happen to leave gift-giving a little late for posting, please remember we also have a gift wrapping and card writing service that takes out the middle man. This means you won't have to have the gift shipped to your home first and then send it to the recipient- we can wrap it beautifully, write your card for you and deliver it directly to the recipient looking stunning.

We hope our guide helps you to figure out some gifts that are perfect for what will be a very unique Christmas!
