Gifts for friends in isolation: 5 thoughtful birthday presents to send in lockdown

It’s your friend’s gifts for birthday but thanks to at least another three weeks of lockdown on the horizon, you won’t be able to spoil them in person – boo. So, what can you do to make them feel special?

We know how rubbish it is having your best birthday gifts online delivery when you’re locked inside without your friends and family to make a fuss of you (three of the Stylist team have been caught in this position already), but there are ways to get something directly to your friends who are due to close another year in self-isolation.

And ‘directly’ is the important word here, because with Royal Mail under extreme pressure and many delivery services cutting down on staff, it can take a lot of forward planning to pick something out, have it sent to you to wrap and include a card, and then post on to your friend. Frankly, it’s an amount of forward planning that many of us would fall short on.

So, here we’ve gathered some ideas on beautiful, thoughtful and personal presents you can buy online to mark their special day. From flowers and wine to boxes full of personalised treats, these are the gifts we think they’ll love.

We appreciate this isn’t ground-breaking, but it is a classic. Flowers are such a gorgeous gift to send to someone’s door because they don’t need to be wrapped beforehand and most come with the option to write a personalised note.

Plus, because everyone is at home all day at the moment, you can be sure your bouquet delivery won’t be missed. However, if you want to make absolute sure, you can still opt for letterbox flowers from brands like Bloom & Wild, who will ensure that they get to your friend safely.
