A personalised best friend gift for the mate you never see enough
Best friends do not drift on purpose. One of you moves, someone has a baby, work fills the diary, and a few months become a year. This is a gift for the friend you want back in your life, and a way of actually doing something about it rather than saying you must catch up soon. It works for a birthday, or for no reason at all beyond wanting to see more of her.
What the activities are like
Each of the 12 sealed envelopes holds something to do together, and they are chosen at random so no two boxes are quite the same. Some are a night out or a day trip, others are an evening in, so there is always one that fits the week you are having. A few examples: ice cream sundaes out or in, a games night with old school board games, and a gift challenge where you set a budget and a theme and hit the shops. The 2 blank cards are there to add your own ideas, and a leaflet explains the best way to use the box.
How the personalisation works
Choose a brown Kraft box or a classic black box, then pick your print colour from the options available for that box. Add a name or a short message, and choose one of two fonts. Personalised boxes cannot be returned, so there is a step at checkout to confirm your spelling is right before you order. Each box measures approximately 16 x 10 x 4cm.
For one friend, or the whole group
Give it to one person or to a group of mates. There is nothing age or gender specific about it. The point is simply time together, whether that is two of you or the old group finally in one place again.
Made to be kept, then recycled
The box is 100% recyclable, made from greyboard using recycled and waste paper, and the paper for the cards and envelopes is from FSC-certified suppliers where possible.

Environment
We aim to produce gifts that are 100% recyclable, and we encourage all those enjoying opening envelopes to recycle them after they’ve completed their activities.
Our boxes are 100% recyclable, and are constructed from ‘greyboard’ which is made from a mix of recycled and waste paper. The outer wrap paper is also recyclable.
Where possible, the paper we use for our card and envelopes is sourced from FSC-certified suppliers.
Shipping Information
We wish we could hand deliver every order placed with us. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible – so we have to rely on the postman.
Most items ship for free in the UK. Where free delivery applies, it is clearly shown in the product information, so you will know before you order.
Free UK delivery is sent via Royal Mail Tracked 48 to mainland UK addresses. These are usually delivered within 2-3 working days, but this is not guaranteed.
We offer an upgrade to Tracked 24 (next working day) or express, which is sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
You can choose to have your order delivered to your own address, sent directly to the recipient, or delivered to a Royal Mail parcel locker or collection point convenient for you. Please note the lockers will hold the order for 3 days, and returned orders will be subject to an additional charge to resend.
We also offer free international shipping on orders over £60 to most countries. Our international orders are sent via Royal Mail International, and tracked depending on the destination.
Tracking is provided on all orders once dispatched and will be shown in your dispatch email.
We aim to send your order within 1 working day of receiving your payment. Orders received before 12pm UK time will be shipped the same day (excluding weekends and bank holidays).
*Shipping will be calculated at checkout, and any delivery costs required will be added at this point.
