Marks and Spencer has unveiled the perfect edible Christmas present for fans of its iconic Colin the Caterpillar cake, offering a postal treat that combines nostalgia with indulgence.
A Festive Treat Posted to Your Door
The retail giant is selling a range of letterbox-friendly gifts designed to be sent directly to loved ones across the UK. Among the most popular is the Colin the Caterpillar Chocolate Brownies Letterbox Gift, priced at £20.
This sweet package contains six rich, fudgy chocolate brownies. In a festive twist, three of them are decorated with the familiar face of Colin the Caterpillar, instantly recognisable to generations of M&S shoppers.
Shoppers Rave About Taste and Sentiment
Customer reviews confirm the brownies are a hit. One shopper declared them "the best brownies they have ever tasted," while another emphasised their premium status by noting "they aren't just brownies - they are M&S brownies."
Beyond taste, the gift carries significant sentimental value. One parent explained it was a "great extra gift by post" for a son living away from home. "We always had caterpillar cake when they were younger so this seemed like a good alternative," they said.
Another customer appreciated the unique nature of the present, choosing it over traditional flowers for a sister who "really appreciated them."
More Letterbox Gifts From M&S
M&S's letterbox collection extends beyond the Colin-themed brownies. Shoppers can also choose from several other festive hampers:
- A Percy Pig box, filled with sweets and biscuits, for £20.
- An Afternoon Tea box, packed with cake and biscuits, also for £20. This option is reported as a best seller.
- For pure chocolate lovers, a £25 letterbox hamper containing eight bars of chocolate in different flavours.
All gifts can be ordered for delivery with a personalised handwritten note, offering a convenient and thoughtful solution for Christmas gifting. The news was reported by Amy Gaffney on 17 December 2025.
