Pros and cons
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.
Hallmark
Pros
- Items start at $2.99, which puts Hallmark at position 14 of 90 brands ranked on price from.
- Personalization is offered across cards, gift boxes and personalized, so a name, message or photo can be worked onto most orders.
- Returns run for 90 days, which is a real cushion when a personalized or photo gift arrives with a spelling mistake.
Cons
- Next day delivery is not offered, so a birthday or a flight day gift has to be ordered with the standard shipping window in front of it.
- Delivery is charged separately at $7.99, which is more than the $2.99 starting price, so a small order is mostly delivery.
- Everything runs through US, so the catalogue, the delivery charge and the returns terms are written for a single market.
Who each suits
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.
Hallmark
Who it suits
- Shoppers in the market Hallmark serves, US, who want a card and a gift together and can plan around standard delivery.
- Buyers of a personalized or photo gift who want a 90 day return window and can reach chat or phone on chat, phone and help centre.
- Gift buyers on a budget who start at $2.99 and add $7.99 for delivery.
Who should look elsewhere
- Jochen Schweizer, when the gift needs to be a box or a gift card and nothing personalized, since its range is gift boxes and gift cards.
- Bourbon Concierge, when gift boxes and personalized pieces matter and a card range is not wanted, since it lists gift boxes and personalized.
- CEWE, for a shopper after the same gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts categories who would rather weigh another seller's delivery speed.

Questions about each
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.
Hallmark
How much does the cheapest Hallmark item cost?+
The catalogue starts at $2.99 for a single item. That is an entry point for the smallest thing on the site rather than a typical basket, and heavier products such as gift boxes and photo gifts sit well above it, so a realistic order is costed from the individual item prices.
How much is delivery on top of the item price?+
Delivery is charged at $7.99 and it sits outside the item price. On the cheaper items the delivery charge is larger than the item itself, so the amount at checkout is driven more by getting the parcel to you than by what is inside it.
