AD| Hey lovelies, if you’re a long term reader of my blog you’d know that I live away from home (118 miles to be exact) I moved away when I went to university, and well never went home. It always gave me freedom to do my own thing, but still be able to visit home when I needed to or missed my family. Unfortunately, due to COVID19 I won’t be returning home at all in December, having lived with my grandparents pre-university, to me it’s not worth the risk of potentially making them sick however much I’d love to spend the festive season with them. Here’s where Moonpig come in.
It got me thinking of ways to make Christmas special for them, despite the miles between us this December. This is where the wonderful Moonpig comes in, their services and products are so handy for a bringing that custom touch to your gifts even if you are unable to be with your loved ones this Christmas. Moonpig offer a variety of gifts, card and so much on their website can be personalised.
Christmas Cards With Moonpig
I spoke a-lot on Moonpig’s card customisation in my Moonpig Virtual Event Post but in short Moonpig give you the ability to send custom cards to your loved ones. They have an incredible service available for Apple phone users where you can write a message on a piece of paper and scan and upload the message into a card. This isn’t available for android users but they do have a ton of options for customising, whether that is a personal photo on the front of the card, or a message typed by you on the inside.
As you can see here, there is plenty of room to add a message in that your loved ones will really appreciate. You can also have cards sent directly to your loved ones, once you’ve finished the customisation simply add it to your basket and then you can put a gift address in. You can put in an individual address for every card you make in one order, making it so easy to send cards to everyone in your family. Moonpig is honestly the perfect way to customise a Christmas card.
Christmas Gifts With Moonpig
I was politely sent some bits to test out from the gifting range, and honestly I was over the moon with the bits I received. So I’m going to share the bits I received and then some recommendations because there really are some fab bits in the Moonpig Christmas range.
Gin House Gift Set
This is a fab little gin set, it comes with 4 miniature premium gins and 4 different flavoured Fever-Tree tonics. What I loved about this set is that it’s £20, it’s packaged so beautifully. It’s the perfect gift for any gin lover, I’ve personally bought one to send to my sister as she would absolutely love it. Check the Gin House Gift Set here.
Nutcracker Treat Tin
The Nutcracker Treat Tin was my favourite of all the bits I was gifted, I adore the tin that it comes in. It’s such a good size, and it’s just so christmasy. It includes the following:
- Butlers Vanilla Fudge Bag 125g
- CHOC+ Luxury Hot Drinking Chocolate Milk
- Chocolate with Salted Caramel 140g
- Farmhouse Biscuits Oat Flip Biscuits 200g
- Gold Crown Decorative Mini Chocolate Cake
- Stas Milk Chocolate Bauble with Salted Caramel Decorations 80g
- Festive Nutcracker Tin
The tin cost £30, which I think is a really good price for the amount you receive inside. My partner loved the hot drinking chocolate and personally I really loved the Oat Biscuits. Check out The Nutcracker Treat Tin here.
Magical Christmas Morning Yankee Candle Gift Set
I absolutely love Yankee Candles and regularly send them to my nan at Christmas, so I was so excited to get this. It comes with 4 different candle scents. It just a perfect and affordable Christmas gift at £15.

OPI Shine Bright Christmas Cracker Gift Set
OPI products are a great gift for any beauty lover you may know. The cracker is wrapped so well, the packaging is beautiful. I also think this particular product is really well priced at £16. I really loved this and think I’ll be reordering this to give to one of my best friends who is obsessed with nail products. Check out the OPI Shine Bright Christmas Cracker Gift Set here.
Gift Recommendations
When it comes to ordering gifts for family members I am not in the same house with, I always try to look for gifts that are things that they love or gifts I can make personal. Moonpig have a ton of categories of gifts which make it so easy to find gifts that will be a good fit for your needs. I found myself looking at the gifts for her, gifts for him, alcoholic gifts and gift set categories although more can be found under the Christmas Gifts section of the website.
The Grinch Santa Soft Toy £15 – For me this is a must have buy for my nieces and nephew. For any lovers of The Grinch it brings the best cheer.
Daim Experience Gift Box 585g – Do you know a chocolate lover? This is the perfect Christmas gift for friends or siblings! (I would absolutely love to receive this.
Exclusive Reindeer Tatty Teddy – I love how sweet this limited edition tatty teddy is, it’s such a cute idea for a post box present.
Whitley Neill Rhubarb Ginger Gin 70cl £28 -I was gifted some credit by the Moonpig team, and I used it to buy a bottle of this. For me Christmas is about drinking with your loved ones, some of my best memories are from Christmas evening with cocktails or baileys all snuggled watching a Christmas movie.
The Prosecco Gift Set – Want to send some flower to someone important in your life? No worries because Moonpig sent the best quality flowers and this gift set comes with some chocolates and a bottle of bubbly. It also very reasonably priced at £30.
Proudly Vegan Hamper – When looking at the hampers on the Moonpig website, this really stood out for me. At £40 it is a large gift, the hamper includes so many great bits and bobs. Including a bottle of Proudly Vegan Sauvignon Blanc.
The Delivery
This is my second time working alongside Moonpig and both times I couldn’t fault the delivery service. The app will tell you exactly how many days it be until your order arrives, you can even pre-order for the date you would like something delivered (this makes gift communication so much easier if you are sending things to multiple addresses).
The packages are always so well wrapped. I was given some account credit, alongside gifted items and used it to purchase a bottle of gin from the gifts for her section of the website. This is because for me Christmas and cocktails go hand in hand, it’s a small way for me to add a touch of home.
I’d love to know in the comments how you’re spending Christmas, and if you are spending Christmas away from home how you’re going to make it special/make the best of it.

I didn’t realise Moonpig had so many great gift options despite the fact I’ve used them loads before for cards. There’s some really lovely stuff here.
Hi Kayleigh. I didn’t realise that Moonpig do gifts too – I thought it was just cards – so thank you for that. Much of our online gifting is through Amazon, it’s just so easy, but it never hurts to have other options available. And I know a certain somebody that would love the gin set!
I love moonpig for cards but I didn’t realise they had so many gift options too this is fab! With the pandemic this year I don’t know if I’ll get to see a number of my family members so I’ll definitely check out moonpig
