Pros and cons

Pros

  • Gifts start at £0.80, one of the lower entry points in the 90 brands compared on price.
  • Personalization is available, and most shops in the personalized gifts ranking offer it at 98.8%.
  • The range spans hampers, personalized and photo gifts, wider than the gift boxes and gift cards that Jochen Schweizer lists.
  • 779 experiences sit alongside the gifts, far more choice than a pure gift box range.
  • Returns run 28 days, giving a clear window after delivery.

Cons

  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so a phone line is not among the options.
  • Experiences run in a single market, GB, so nothing here is set up for shoppers outside the UK.
  • Experience vouchers stay valid for 12 months, the same as the shortest window on the site at 12 months, so an unused one is easy to mislay.
  • Stored value is not among its product types (hampers, personalized and photo gifts), a line CEWE covers with gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts.

Who it suits

  • UK shoppers buying personalized gifts who want a single site for both gifts and days out.
  • Anyone buying for someone with a specific occasion in mind, since personalization is available.
  • Gift buyers who want many small items such as cards alongside hampers and photo gifts.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers outside the UK, since the range runs in GB only.
  • Buyers who want a gift card balance rather than a physical gift, where CEWE lists gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts.
  • Anyone who needs a phone line, since support runs on email, chat and help centre only.

What it does well

Notonthehighstreet is at its strongest on the personal touch and on giving buyers room to change their mind. Personalization is available across the range, which is why the brand sits at 98.8% in the personalized gifts ranking and 100% in photo gifts. The catalogue covers hampers, personalized and photo gifts, so a hamper, a card and a photo gift can come from the same place rather than from three shops. Returns run 28 days from delivery, which matters most for personalized items that carry a name or a picture and are harder to resell. The experience side adds 779 experiences listings with vouchers valid for 12 months, so a gift that is an outing rather than an object still has time to be used.

Who runs it

The shop is run by Notonthehighstreet Enterprises Limited, which is based in the United Kingdom. That matters practically, because the market it serves is GB and delivery, returns and gift messages all follow UK conventions rather than international ones. Support is offered through email, chat and help centre, which is a broad mix for a marketplace of this size, though the list does not run to phone. For anyone outside the UK the picture is straightforward: the catalogue is the UK catalogue, pricing is in sterling, and the experience vouchers are built around UK listings.

How notonthehighstreet compares

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest gift on Notonthehighstreet?+

Gifts start at £0.80, which is the entry price for the whole catalogue rather than a hamper. That puts the brand at 7 among 90 brands compared on price from. Prices are in sterling, and the entry point covers small items as well as larger gifts.

Can you personalize gifts at Notonthehighstreet?+

Personalization is available, and it runs across most of the catalogue rather than a single product line. That shows in the rankings, where 98.8% of the personalized gifts shops offer it and 100% of the photo gift shops do. Personalized and photo gifts both appear in hampers, personalized and photo gifts.

What kinds of products are sold?+

The catalogue covers hampers, personalized and photo gifts, so hampers, personalized items, photo gifts and cards all sit together. Photo gifts are the one area where shops are thinner, with 24 brands in that ranking. Gifts and experiences share the same site, which is unusual among the alternatives.

How long do returns last?+

Returns run 28 days, counted from delivery. That is the practical point for personalized and photo gifts, since items printed with a name or a picture are rarely resaleable. Support for a return runs through email, chat and help centre, which does not include a phone line.

How long is an experience voucher valid?+

Experience vouchers are valid for 12 months, which matches the median of 12 months across the site. There are 779 experiences listed. Vouchers cover GB only, so a UK listing is what the validity period applies to.

Where can I use Notonthehighstreet?+

The site runs in a single market, GB, and the company behind it is based in the United Kingdom. Prices are in sterling and delivery follows UK conventions. Nothing on the site is set up for shoppers ordering from outside the UK, including the experience listings.

Does Notonthehighstreet sell gift cards?+

Stored value is not among its product types (hampers, personalized and photo gifts), which lists hampers, personalized items, photo gifts and cards. The cards in that list are greeting cards. CEWE lists gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts, which includes gift cards, so that is the one to look at if a balance is what you need.

How do I get help with an order?+

Support runs through email, chat and help centre, so email, chat and a help centre are the listed routes. Across the wider site, 89.4% of shops have a help centre and 93.2% offer email, with phone less common. A phone line is not in the list here, so plan on email or chat.
