There are always those moments in life that you just want to send a little something to a loved one. And when you can’t be with them, having a great gift delivered is ideal. Sure flowers are great, but honestly, sometimes you just need something a little more meaningful and helpful. Or just more special.
I’ve personally sent my fair share of flowers to friends and clients, but having something more unique and special is always more memorable if you ask me.
Over the years, I’ve discovered a few great companies that deliver incredible gifts for you. Whether you friend recently lost someone important to them, or lost their job, or just needs a little pick-me-up, these gifts are sure to do the trick. Or if you want to send Mom something a little different than just Mother’s Day flowers, these will bring a smile to her face.
Great Non-Flower Delivery Gift Ideas
Curated Boxes
For birthdays, special occasions or just because, these are a few great delivery gift ideas for her. For Mom, your sister, your best friend, and everything in between.
Bright Box
These curated boxes are super fun and affordable gifts to send to friends. They have curated boxes to choose from or you can build your own. I also love the confetti cards which are full of confetti! A more exciting birthday card to open if you ask me!
Knack
Knack has gorgeous boxes that are a bit more high end and luxurious. They’re also one of the few I’ve found that has a decent selection for gifting to him as well. There’s also lots of great food care packages to send as well through them.
Food Gifts To Send
Sometimes when you’re not well, going through a tough time, just had a baby or surgery, cooking is the LAST thing on your mind. Sending food is always a well-received gift if you ask me. And yes, cookies for a birthday gift is always a good idea.
Spoonful of Comfort
I had a family member receive this Spoonful of Comfort after a surgery and it was absolute perfection. The package included a big jar of chicken soup, rolls and cookies. I’ve since sent it to friends who were going through a rough time and knew cooking wasn’t really on their mind. It’s absolutely packaged perfectly and just feels like home. And if they’re not a chicken soup fan, there are other options to choose from!
Cookie Delivery
Levain Bakery makes some of the best cookies and they deliver in really cute tin perfect for gifting. Getting a box of a dozen cookies is simply the greatest thing ever if you ask me. Perfect for a birthday or to comfort a friend. Tiff’s Treats is a favorite spot for cookies in town and they do delivery. There’s also Crumbl Cookies or Chip City. Always great options for an easy gift that you can delivery same day.
Charcuterie Boards
Boarderie has really fun and festive charcuterie boards. Choose from a variety of options and sizes to deliver the perfect food gift to friends and loved ones.
Goldbelly
Goldbelly is a great food delivery service that has a ton of great brands on their platform. Choose from sweet or savory. There are a lot of options to choose from.
Non-Flower Gift Ideas
Sending flowers is great, but they die! I personally prefer a plant. I love The Sill’s options for indoor potted plants that aren’t overly expensive. They’re the same price as a nice flower arrangement but will last way longer!
So no matter what the occasion is, there is something great you can send a friend or loved one that isn’t just flowers.
