7 best letterbox flowers to gift to friends and loved ones

The bouquets from Serenata Flowers are sure to brighten up even the dullest of days. With 20 stems of bold, beautiful blooms, they smell as good as they look and put the biggest smile on our face. They arrive in the typical letterbox style, inside a cardboard box, but are wrapped in brown paper with a ribbon, to add a level of luxury. Just note, they are delivered in bud but burst into bloom in around 24 hours. You can even schedule them for next-day delivery, if you’ve left it a bit last-minute.

If you really want the blooms to fit inside a postbox, FlowerBe’s small-sized selection is sure to be your best bet. Fitting inside an A6-sized box, these mini blooms are the perfect small gesture to show someone you care. The selection of flowers is a seasonal pick, so you’re sure to get fun, fresh blooms each and every time, and you can choose between colourful or neutral options, depending on your recipient’s taste, and the occasion.

The vase pictured isn’t included, but you can opt to add the vase (£35, Flowerbe.co.uk) to your order. Although, of course, it then won’t fit through the postbox.

We have used Bloom & Wild many a time, and it is yet to let us down on delivery. So, for occasions that really can’t be missed, we’re dubbing the brand as best option for next-day delivery.

The flowers stand quite tall, so you will need a long vase or be happy to cut them down to size. They bloom with a burst of colour that instantly elevates any room (and they smell divine). We like the fact the bouquet comes with a card detailing how best to arrange the blooms. We received one of the Bloom & Wild bouquets with carnations, limonium and statice, but there are myriad other flower arrangements to choose from.

It’s safe to say you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting flowers, but Bunches is here to solve that problem with its fun florist’s pick. Opting for this bunch means you can leave the choice of which blooms to buy in the hands of the experts. With a surprise of seasonal blooms, you can sit back, relax and know the hard work has been done by someone else. We were pretty impressed with our stunning selection.

Each week, Flowerfix creates a new bouquet called the florist’s pick, with beautiful seasonal blooms freshly picked each morning. So, if you aren’t quite sure what to pick, let the experts do it for you.

With roses, carnations, tulips or other flowers of a similar value nestled alongside sunflowers, calla lily and lush foliage, they make for a bursting bouquet.

Almost everything arrives in bud form, so you can watch them bloom from your sofa, meaning they last an impressive amount of time, too.

You most likely know Moonpig as the place to go for personalised cards, but the brand has expanded to offer flowers, chocolates, teddies and a whole range of post-ready presents.

You can find seasonal bunches bursting with colour or more muted bouquets, to suit a range of ocassions.

The particular arrangement we ordered is currently out of stock but you could brighten up someone’s day with one of the brand’s other letterbox flowers options. You could even throw in some of the brand’s other letterbox goodies, for good measure.

While we can’t call these letterbox flowers – the box is so big it would struggle to fit through some windows – this is the best floral postal service we’ve seen so far. Delivering the most beautiful roses to our front door, this option is well worth the price if you’re looking to truly impress. Just make sure your giftee is home, or leave instructions for the blooms to be left in a safe place, as you really don’t want these ones to wilt while waiting to be picked up from the post office.
