FAQs

How can I personalise my Hug Box as a gift?

All Hug Boxes can arrive with a free personalised message as standard. If you dont let me know what message you would like at the time of paying; your Message Card will say ‘Have a Hug’ on it. As most Hug Boxes are gifts they will arrive with no invoice, so unless you add a personal message to your gift the recipient may not know who its from.

Please let me know what message you would like at the time of ordering. The easiest way to send the personal message is in the ORDER NOTES section after you have clicked ‘Proceed to Checkout’ from the Shopping Basket.

If I do not received the details of the message you would like included with your Hug Box at time of paying (either during the order process in the ORDER NOTES Section or by emailing wendy@hugbox.co.uk) your Hug Box will have ‘Have a Hug’ on the Message Card.
