Top Postal Christmas Gifts

The year 2012 has been the year of getting brilliant stuff in the post. We even got involved with our very own gift service Go Postal (and we're nearly totally sold out so hurry and get buying if you want one of the last subscriptions).

If you're stuck for a Christmas present for someone special, gift subscriptions are perfect. Here are our top subscription and postal gifts from our Sluttery By Post series.

For reading...

The Willoughby Book Club. It's a tough call between Willoughby's and Mr B's Reading Year. It all depends on who you're buying for and what your budget is. And if you fancy something super special, Persephone's subscription service is another great option. Friends who get books in the post will basically love you forever.

Stack Magazines is perfect if you want to do some reading but already have a completely stacked (sorry) bookself.

For eating and cooking...

The Big Cheese Making Kit. It's hard to explain just how much we want to make our own cheese. If you don't fancy making your own cheese, get over to Farmison and they'll send you some. You'll need some bread to go with it. Hobbs House Bakery can help with that.

The Seed Pantry. This is the great option for the culinary gardener short on space (ditto Funghi Futures). If they've got a little more room to play with, The Gluttonous Gardener has some lovely options.

Crumb. Afternoon tea through your letterbox. What could be better?

Bean & Ground. We've found two coffee clubs recently. These guys or Kopi? We'll leave that choice to you.

The Spicery. Get spices and recipes so you can make perfect meals. Perfect if you know someone who used paprika once and then shunned it to the back of the cupboard.

Cartmel Pudding Club. PUDDINGS IN THE POST EACH MONTH.

The rest...

The Knicker Issue. There's no way that getting pretty pants in the post could fail to brighten someone's day.

Not Another Bill is hugely popular now, working with some gorgeous designers. And some of Domestic Sluttery's favourite brands appear in the new Luxe Box.

Green Gables Stationery. You'd better send us thank you notes when you get your stationery box in the post.
