Where To Buy Gifts
Great Places to Buy Gifts Online in the U.K.
Here is a selection of what we think are some of the best places to buy gifts online in the UK. We have carefully chosen shops that have a large range of interesting gifts and a reputation for good customer service. You should be able to find that perfect gift from one of these stores!
Buyagift
If you are looking for gift experiences then Buyagift are an obvious choice. They have one of the best selections of experiences in the UK to choose from including balloon flights, Ferrari driving and spa weekends. They also offer the more traditional gifts such as chocolate, champagne and hampers. What I like about Buyagift is that they offer a 150% price guarantee on their gifts. If you find it somewhere cheaper within 14 days they will refund you 150% of the price! It means that you can buy with confidence from Buyagift.
Prezzybox
Fun and friendly is the best way to describe Prezzybox. They started as a family business in 2000 and gone from strength to strength. They believe in having a fun approach while maintaining high quality customer service. They have a reputation for very good customer service and they have a large range of gifts on an easy to use website. They even have a “gift wizard” to help you choose gifts.
Devoted to Sport
Devoted to Sport have the best range of personalised sports books for football, rugby, tennis and other sports. If you are looking to buy a football archive book for a keen football fan then Devoted to Sport have a selection of 50 teams. I am usually able to get discount vouchers from them as well to save you some money.
Getting Personal
When it comes to personalised gifts then it is hard to beat Getting Personal. They have a huge range of personalised gifts and some of these gifts are exclusive to Getting Personal such as the X Factor T.V. show personalised calendar. What I like about Getting Personal is that they offer free delivery if your order is over £30.
Bunches
Bunches are an excellent online florist who offer to send fresh flowers by post from only £9.99 and this includes free milk chocolates and free delivery! You can choose the day of delivery and you should allow 1 to 2 working days. Check out their website to see their best-selling flowers. Also, we have discount codes available for Bunches on our voucher codes page to save you some money off your order.
I Want One Of Those
I Want One Of Those is the place to go for “stuff you don’t need… but you really really want”. There are all sorts of weird and wacky gizmos, gadgets and thingys on their website. From iPod alarm clocks, the halarious “sat nag”, retro sweet hampers and retro phones, useful stuff like the vinyl and cassette ripper and the negative film scanner, the stylophone (remember it?) to the “gnome bowling” game, you are sure to find something to make you and your friends laugh at iwantoneofthose.
Firebox
Firebox is the place to find the latest up to date gadgets, games, toys and and other hot stuff. They search the world for interesting, quirky and fun gadgets and gizmos. They then carefully select what they think are the best products. You will often find products on Firebox first before they are available in other stores. Firebox have been around since 1998 and 8 million people visited their website in 2007.
Photobox
Photobox is the largest online photo service in Europe and they have been around since 2000. In my experience they have offered me high quality photo prints at reasonable prices with a quick turnaround. They have a great range of photo gifts from photo books (for weddings and other occasions), A3 photo calendars, poster prints, collage prints and canvas prints of your photos, a framing service and other photo related gifts.
My Favourite Magazines
What are magazine subscriptions doing on a gift website? Well, think about it, magazine subscriptions make an ideal gift for somebody who has a hobby that they are obsessed about! Indeed, they are a very popular choice of gift for a lot of people.
My Favourite Magazines is the online magazine shop for Future Publishing who have a reputation for creating really good magazines for specialist interests. Several of their magazines are the best selling in the U.K. They are really good for cycling, mountain biking, knitting, crossstitching, papercraft, playstation, xbox and nintendo gaming, guitar, rock music, computer and digital camera magazines.
Magazine subscriptions make great gifts for the gift recipient, because it is like receiving a gift 12 times a year! There is also usually a discount on the cover price and sometimes free offers that you can only get by subscribing.
Newsrecreated
Newscreated are part of the same group as Devoted to Sport and they have a very interesting selection of historic newspaper gifts. You can get a gift wrapped original newspaper from the past, a Daily Mirror front page from a date in the past, a personalised spoof newspaper and different themed newspaper books such as royalty or the Beatles. These would make for a more interesting and unique gift for birthdays and anniversaries.
A1 Gifts
A1 Gifts have been around for 5 years and they have a selection of 900 gifts. They hold these gifts in stock and they can delivery to the UK in 1 to 3 days. They also offer a next working day delivery for non-personalised items if you are a last minute gift shopper!
A1 Gifts are particularly good for anniversary, birthday and christening gifts. I like the way they categorise important anniversaries and birthdays to make it easier to choose the right gift for the occasion. The anniversaries are categorised as 1st, 8th, 25th, 30th and so on and birthdays are listed as 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th 50th, 60th, 70th etc. You can then see a selection of gift ideas for that birthday. They also offer a gift wrap service with a hand written card.
Green & Blacks
