Low Fuss Gifts That Are Easy to Post

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact that’s why we’ve put together a list of small but wonderful gift ideas. It's always nice to receive positive post - no matter what your age.

Royal Mail Letter Size Guide

If you’re looking for thoughtful, beautiful, and perfectly postable presents, the Royal Mail’s Letter size guidelines are your best friend. These items must be:

• Under 100g in weight
• No larger than 24cm x 16.5cm
• No thicker than 0.5cm

That means you can send them for the price of a letter stamp – perfect for happy mail, surprise treats, or low-cost gifting.

Check out the Royal Mail guide to post sizes for more info.

Postable Gift Inspiration

1. Coasters with Personality – Work Hard Cat Coaster 

Our Work Hard Cat Coaster is the perfect mix of humour and practicality. It’s one of our best sellers and at only 0.3cm thick it’s perfect for posting.

Coasters are one of the easiest gifts to post- slim, light, and practical. We love this coaster by Betioba (also available as a version for dog lovers too).

2. Hair Accessories That Make a Statement – Kampot Print Hair Scrunchie 

A gorgeous fabric scrunchie like this Kampot Print Hair Scrunchie adds instant style without taking up much space in the post.

Hair accessories are ideal little pick-me-ups,  they feel special to receive, and add a touch of fun to even the plain old ponytail. These Scrunchies from newt are made of a soft, fine fabric - so they won’t add any bulk to your letter.

3. Mini Plant Magic – Plant Animal Chameleon 

The Plant Animal Chameleon is a tiny brass friend that clings to your houseplants, adding a touch of personality to your greenery.

Plant animals are perfect gifts for plant lovers and are super easy to send. They’re ultra-light, flat, and bring a smile with zero postage fuss.

4. Window Sparkle – Magpie Suncatcher Decal 

This Magpie Suncatcher Decal by Fearne transforms sunlight into rainbows – the ultimate mood-booster gift.

Decals are wonderfully postable because they’re slim and flexible, yet they pack a punch with the wow factor when they catch the light. Send someone the gift of rainbows!

5. Art in the Post – Rainy Plockton Illustration A5 Print 

An A5 print like our Rainy Plockton Illustration by Freya Allan makes a thoughtful, frame-worthy gift. This moody, atmospheric coastal scene fits beautifully into standard frames and envelopes alike.

A5 art prints are a great way to send beauty through the letterbox – they arrive flat, safe, and ready to display.

6. The gift of Customisation - Iron on Patches

Iron on patches are great for customising clothing, whether you're adding to a already emblazoned biker jacket or jazzing up a plain old wooly hat. Sending a patch gives your friend the opportunity to customise something themselves. We love this Snake Head Patch.

Simply mounted on a backing card - patches are easy to slip inside a greeting card and send out.

7.  Temporary Tattoos - Lasting Impressions

Temporary tattoos aren't just for kids - these tattoos by Paperself are great for the young at heart and are easily posted. 

Fun for festival goers or someone who is working up the courage for their first tattoo.
