About Me

From a Simple Need to a Big Hug!

Hi, I’m Wendy – founder of Hug Box, a heartfelt idea born in April 2013 during a tough time for my family. I watched loved ones go through serious illnesses and, like many, I turned to the usual gifts—flowers and chocolates. But after a while, they felt impersonal, predictable… and let’s face it, hampers often cost a small fortune and then just gather dust at the back of a cupboard.

I wanted to send something genuinely comforting, thoughtful and affordable. Something that says: I’m thinking of you, I see you, and you’re not alone.

And so, Hug Box was born – a hug in a box, sent through the post, with love.

Why Choose Hug Box?

Affordable – Hug Boxes start from just £6, with options to add more gifts. There’s something to suit every budget and taste. Feel free to message if you would like to add more items or decorations to your Hug Box.

Heartfelt – Each Hug Box can include a personal message from you, carefully chosen hand packed treats, and lots of love. It’s not just a gift – it’s a gesture of genuine care.

Value for Money – Your budget goes into meaningful, quality contents – not fancy packaging.

Fun & Uplifting – When flowers arrive, it’s often a sign that something’s gone wrong. Hug Boxes are designed to lift spirits, make people smile, and bring a little light in dark moments.

Inclusive – Hug Boxes are for everyone – no matter their age, gender, or situation. From students away at university to colleagues, grandparents, partners, or friends—everyone needs a hug sometimes.
