Any ideas? Anyone got a website recommendation to send chocolates/bubble baths/etc?

    Have you looked on www.hqhair.com or www.spacenk.co.uk for lovely smellies? They usually do nice gift boxes etc.

    Another option would be Hotel Chocolat.

    I was going to suggest Hotel Chocolat too. I've used funkyhampers.com to send stuff out to customers before.They do all kinds of stuff from baby gifts to fruit baskets.

    If you go through TopCashBack you get a percentage back on both of these sites too.

    Booze or chocolate, innit.

    What's your budget, occasion and who's the recipient? How much do you like them?!

    I'd be cheered by a bottle of champagne or very nice red wine. www.bbr.com Fabulous packaging too.

    Or a lovely letter telling me just how ace I am, maybe with a voucher for a massage or manicure or something.

    This is exactly what I am trying to set up! I am in the first stages of starting up a cake and biscuit delivery service because of people like you FTLOMB - who want an alternative to flowers!

    Ha! Snap, Spangler! We use them for gifts a lot. I may have a slight crush on one of their shop dudes too...

    Prompted by MrsShark - try Hummingbird Bakery or Crumbs & Doilies (latter only if she is nr London) for cake delivery.

    I also like Cricks' idea of a massage voucher.

    I think Funky Pigeon do various things. I've also received a gift of Next wines. They do chocolates too.
