A special birthday present for a good friend

I needed a special birthday present for a very good friend who was having a hard time. A box of hugs did a wonderful job. I was able to choose individual items which they packed and despatched so quickly that it arrived the next day. Marvellous items. Super fast delivery. Well priced. My friend loved it. Thank you so much to all concerned.

A lovely Surprise for all!

I love this Company because from the other side of the planet it is hard to send a gift that will be appreciated. My Dad thought the Get well soon box was lovely. My 12 year old niece loved her Birthday box and my good friend told me she will use everything I picked out for her 50th Birthday,

You were great

You were great. Ordered the exam box for my granddaughter starting her GCSEs. A nice selection of quality bits and bobs and it arrived the next day!! (Didn’t select next day). She loved her surprise, which was just what I wanted, as I’m too far away to give her a Nanna’s hug. Thanks for doing the job for me.

Beautiful box and high quality items

We had a 'build your own' box made up for our daughter who was about to start her exams. So many lovely items to choose from, all excellent quality and packed up in a fabulous box. Delivery just as expected. Daughter absolutely loved it. The correspondence from the team at Box of Hugs was also excellent (I received a reply within 30 minutes of a query when I emailed) . Could not fault and will definitely use them again!

Great way to show someone you are thinking of them

I set a box to each of my nieces doing significant exams.
Liked the wide choice of gifts and not just the usual brands - different options.
Dispatched quickly and they were both delighted.
