I love walking around our village seeing hand-drawn rainbows, suns and other pictures up in the windows. These kind pictures bring a smile to the other villagers. Now we are in lockdown, kind gestures and thoughtfulness is very important for our mental health. Remote working while trying to keep up with homeschooling routines, combating boredom and staying connected with loved ones is tough. In support of British businesses during this time, I’ve offered to help Miss Milly get her “Letterbox Loveliness” new venture out to as many people as possible with this blog post and giveaway.
So why not surprise your favourite ladies with some isolation indulgence and a piece of jewellery through the letterbox. And not just that, the jewellery comes in original hand-decorated packaging, designed to make the sender, the recipient, the creator, and even the postman smile! And you really can’t have too many smiles right now.
Brought to you by Miss Milly at www.missmilly.co.uk/letterbox-loveliness, you can choose between a necklace for £15, a pair of earrings for £8 or a matching set for just £20.
Free second class delivery is included, as is tissue wrapping, a gift message of your choice and the original art jiffy bag. You can let Miss Milly know the recipient’s favourite colours and styles by ticking a few boxes and they will carefully choose their most appropriate piece.
And don’t leave all the fun to your friends, why not treat yourself to some lockdown luxury too and jazz up your pyjamas and loungewear. Once it’s warm enough, let’s use our daily walk to wear our favourite outfits and make ourselves feel special.
The Idea of Letterbox Loveliness
“Letterbox Loveliness” is the idea of Sarah Watmore, owner of Miss Milly, a British jewelry and accessories business in Worcestershire that has been supplying gift and fashion shops throughout the UK for eight years. “I’m a big sender of surprise cards and gifts,” says Sarah. “And as a result of Covid-19, the vast majority of my customers have shut their shops and business has divebombed with sales down 99% in the last fortnight.
The idea for Letterbox Loveliness came to me during one of those unintended middle of the night worrying/brainstorm sessions.
“My daughter, Milly, loves to draw and I find colouring very relaxing so as well as hopefully helping the business to survive, it will also provide us with an enjoyable occupation and a bit of art homework. This new offer will be run solely from our home where just the two of us live.”
Letterbox Loveliness is available now. And Miss Milly would be delighted if people could share photos of them wearing their new jewellery on the company’s social media.
Safe Delivery
Safe hygiene will be maintained with hands properly washed before packing orders and again before posting them. The post will go directly into the postbox avoiding interaction with the post office counter whenever possible. Royal Mail states two to three days delivery for second class items although this may vary during the current circumstances. Next working day Special Delivery is offered for £6.99 if required.
