Marks & Spencer has unveiled a perfect festive treat for fans of its iconic mascot, launching a Percy Pig Letterbox Gift for £20. The convenient parcel, designed to fit through a standard letterbox, is packed with a selection of the retailer's most beloved sweet treats and is already proving popular online.
A Sweet Selection for Superfans
The gift box offers a curated mix of Percy Pig-branded confectionery. It features the original fruit gums, Fizzy Pig Tails, and other fan favourites. The popular Reversy Percy sweets have also made a comeback within the collection, returning by popular demand. M&S suggests the gift is an ideal, fuss-free way to surprise a Percy Pig enthusiast, especially during the busy holiday season.
Shoppers can purchase the gift online and have it sent directly to the recipient, with the option to include a personalised message. The product has swiftly garnered a high rating of 4.8 stars on the M&S website, with numerous positive reviews from customers.
Shoppers React to the Pig-Filled Parcel
Customer feedback highlights the gift's appeal as a convenient and joyful present. One reviewer, Joyce, stated she had bought it as a Christmas gift for a Percy Pig lover. Another, named Vee, commented on the size, noting, "I was surprised at the size when it was delivered especially as advertised as a postbox gift. I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated."
Keg purchased the box for grandchildren, saying, "They are bigger than I thought they would be. Really good idea. They will love them." A delighted grandparent added, "I sent this Percy Pig collection to my grandson as an 8th birthday gift. He was delighted!! Loved it, and I would heartily recommend to Percy Pig fans!! Can't go wrong with Percy Pigs."
However, not all feedback was without critique. One shopper felt the offering was "a little overpriced for what you get" and suggested including a small Percy soft toy would improve the value.
Alternative Letterbox Gift Ideas
M&S is not the only retailer tapping into the letterbox gift trend this season. The brand also offers a similar Colin the Caterpillar Letterbox Gift for £20. For those looking beyond confectionery, other companies have joined the market.
Bloom & Wild sells a Letterbox Winter Afternoon Tea, while Not On The High Street offers a cheese gift box. Etsy also provides options like a Personalised Brownie Slab, starting from £6.99, showcasing the growing popularity of postal presents that require no in-person delivery.
The Percy Pig Letterbox Gift is available now on the Marks & Spencer website for £20, with the retailer noting it is 'selling fast' as shoppers seek easy, celebratory solutions.
