With so many of us away from loved ones this holiday season, these beautiful letterbox gifts will brighten anyone’s day.

Christmas looks a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t share the joy. Amid ever-changing tier restrictions, it can be hard to get out and hit the shops. And if you’re high-risk or still shielding, nipping to the high street may be the last thing on your mind.

So Platinum has pulled together some fabulous letterbox gifts to give this Christmas, to show loved ones that regardless of the distance, we’re still thinking of them.

It’s been the year of homemade cocktails — and there’s no better (or safer) way to see the holiday season out.

These unique cocktail packages have a selection of flavours to choose from, so even the most connoisseur of drinkers will find their favourite tipple. You could get into the festive spirit with the Festive Christmas Cocktail Box and indulge in a Spiced Negroni, Apple Rum Punch, Christmas Margarita and lots more. Or delight in the Sour box with six different cocktails.

Letterbox flowers are truly a gift that keeps giving — so why stray from a classic?

The flowers are sent in bud, so they’ll slowly bloom once they arrive, within a purpose-made box to ensure the flowers are kept safe. We love the Noelle bunch — the red and gold adds that extra special Christmas touch.
