Our verdict on each
Callie
Callie suits gift buyers who want a low entry price and personal touches on a gift box, and less anyone working to a hard delivery date. Its entry price is £11, delivery adds £4, and returns run 99 days across GB, US and CA.
Funky Pigeon
Funky Pigeon suits gift buyers in GB and IE who want a single shop for hampers, gift boxes, personalized gifts, photo gifts and cards, with personalization and next day delivery both included. Prices of £4 suit small baskets, and the £1.80 delivery charge is the part that matters on a single card.

Pros and cons
Callie
Pros
- Personalization is available, and it runs through the whole range rather than a single product line.
- Callie charges £4 for delivery, a predictable add-on to any order.
- Returns run 99 days, wide enough to catch a misspelt name or a damaged box.
Cons
- Next day delivery is not offered, so a gift tied to a fixed date has to be ordered well ahead.
- Callie adds £4 delivery to every order, a heavy share of an item priced at £11.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line for urgent questions.
Funky Pigeon
Pros
- Prices of £4 keep a single card or a small personalized gift within reach before the £1.80 delivery charge.
- Product types cover hampers, gift boxes and personalized, a wider spread than gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts at CEWE and gift boxes and personalized at Bourbon Concierge.
- Next day delivery is offered, and 51.3% of the brands on the site match it.
Cons
- Same day delivery is not offered, so a gift needed today has no option here.
- Support runs on email and help centre, with no phone line listed, while 62.8% of brands compared do take calls.
- A £1.80 delivery charge applies to every order, so low value baskets pay proportionally more for delivery.
Who each suits
Callie
Who it suits
- Buyers of personalized gifts and photo gifts who can order ahead of the date they need.
- Shoppers inside the GB, US and CA footprint who value a 99 day returns window.
- Gifting lists that mix a small add-on gift with a fuller hamper, since the delivery charge spreads over more items.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who need next day delivery, which Callie does not offer.
- Buyers who want a gift card inside the order, a line CEWE lists and Callie leaves out.
- Anyone after bourbon-led gift sets, an area Bourbon Concierge covers with gift boxes and personalized while Callie centres on gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts.
Funky Pigeon
Who it suits
- Gift buyers in GB and IE who want personalization and next day delivery from a single shop.
- People buying a hamper, a box and a card in one order, since product types cover hampers, gift boxes and personalized.
- Anyone giving a gift card, since they are exchangeable and stay valid for 18 months.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for a plain gift box purchase, since Jochen Schweizer lists gift boxes and gift cards and covers fewer product types than hampers, gift boxes and personalized.
- Not for a photo gift or card order, since CEWE centres gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts instead of the hamper and gift box lines.
- Not for a boxed set buyer who wants a short list, since Bourbon Concierge lists gift boxes and personalized against the longer hampers, gift boxes and personalized here.

Questions about each
Callie
How much does a Callie gift cost?+
Callie's entry price is £11, and delivery adds £4 to the order. Personalization, the size of the box and the amount bought all move the final figure, so treat £11 as the floor of the range rather than a typical basket. The delivery charge is added to each order at the same rate.
Does Callie offer next day delivery?+
Next day delivery is not offered, so an order for a birthday or an event with a fixed call time has to be placed with room to spare. The 99 day returns window gives space to sort out a problem after the parcel lands, but it does not pull the delivery date earlier. Plan backwards from standard delivery rather than from next day.
Funky Pigeon
How much do gifts cost at Funky Pigeon?+
Funky Pigeon quotes gifts at an entry price of £4, which is the price of the item rather than a first payment that renews. On top of that sits a £1.80 delivery charge at checkout, so the basket size decides how much of the total is delivery rather than gift. Larger baskets spread the delivery charge over more items.
Is there a delivery charge on top of the gift price?+
Yes, a £1.80 delivery charge is listed for orders. That matters most on small orders such as a card or a photo gift, where delivery can weigh heavily against an entry price of £4. On a hamper or a multi item box the same charge is spread across more products, so the effective cost per item falls.
