FAQ

What is a good Valentine's gift instead of flowers or chocolates?

Something that lasts longer than a bouquet. Bluebells & Thyme Valentine's hampers, from £85, pair genuine vintage keepsakes — a classic love story, delicate china, an antique brooch or cufflinks — with Welsh artisan chocolate and fudge, so there are still chocolates, plus a keepsake they'll keep. Our letterbox gifts, from £20, send the same romance affordably by post.

Can I send a Valentine's gift by post to a long-distance partner?

Yes — a Bluebells & Thyme Valentine's letterbox gift, from £20, is made for long-distance love. It fits through a standard UK letterbox, so it lands on their doormat even while they're at work, pairing a one-of-a-kind vintage keepsake with Welsh treats and your message handwritten free. For a grander gesture, full hampers from £85 arrive at the door.

What is a romantic vintage gift for him or for her?

For her, Bluebells & Thyme sources antique brooches, delicate china and classic romances; for him, vintage cufflinks, handsome old editions and curious keepsakes — every piece individually found, so the gift is genuinely one of a kind. Both come paired with Welsh artisan treats, as letterbox gifts from £20 or full Valentine's hampers from £85.

Can you deliver a gift the next day in the UK?

Yes — order from Bluebells & Thyme by 3pm Monday - Friday and your gift arrives free, next day, anywhere in the UK through Royal Mail Tracked 24 service. That covers both our letterbox gifts from £20, which fit through a standard UK letterbox even if the recipient is out, and our full hampers from £85, delivered to the door. Every gift includes a free handwritten message with no invoice enclosed.
