BloomPost

What's in the box: A typical order is a slim letterbox package holding fresh, dried or silk flowers, or a small gift such as seeds, a young tree or a piece of jewellery.

BloomPost is a Dutch webshop built around letterbox gifts: flowers and small presents packed to fit through a standard Dutch brievenbus, so the recipient does not need to be home. The range goes well beyond fresh flowers. Alongside letterbox bouquets you will find dried and silk flowers, seasonal options such as autumn roses, young trees and seed packets with themed messages, and gold plated jewellery set with real dried flowers. Chocolate, cakes, wellness items, puzzles and tiles round it out. Gifts are organised by occasion, from birthdays and get well wishes to condolences, new homes and births, with a simple budget filter. The site promises next day delivery for orders placed before 20:00 and shows an average review score of 4.3 out of 5. Sustainability gets real attention: fresh flowers come in compostable film designed to go straight into green waste, and some wooden items are made by Houtgenoten, a workshop employing people from varied backgrounds. The main caveat is that BloomPost presents itself as a one off gift shop. The site does not describe a recurring flower plan, so if you want regular deliveries to your own home, check carefully before ordering. For sending a thoughtful gesture by post in the Netherlands, it is a well rounded choice.
