Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, I made a mistake and a real friendly human contacted me! Super friendly, super helpful, all resolved. The gifts were amazing and I loved being able to pick the perfect gifts for my person, great range and well priced. I will definitely use them again, so nice when you are abroad and can send a thoughtful gift.

Birthday Hugs

I was kept informed about my order straight away and shipping information was regularly updated as well. My order was delivered on the right day and my sister loved it!

Absolutely brilliant gift

Came across this company by pure accident when looking for a gift to cheer a friend up and it was just what I wanted. The pre packed boxes looked great but then being able to choose your own items was brilliant and so many things to choose from. I had to stop myself from picking too many items for the box size I had selected. When received my friend was really impressed by the items and the packaging. Will definitely use again. Thank you x

Very good

Concept is great.
I ordered a box of hugs to send to a family member. The contents are good. I would of preferred the tea pig box to the substituted x2 sachets as they are better & also look more presentable in the box, additionally notification prior to any changes would of been helpful to check any substitutions are satisfactory & to ask if I would still like to continue with my order.

Brilliant Company

After placing my oder I noticed I had made a stupid mistake on the delivery adddress. I emailed Box of Hugs to let them know and I quickly got a reply back letting me know that the mistake had been rectified. The box was delivered to my sister who loved it! She took a photo to show me how the items had been arranged, which looked very lovely. I will be returning to Hugs in a Box very soon. Thank you.
