In order to put a fun twist on the idea of a "message on a bottle," [Firebox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-marmelade) launched its 'Personalised Letterbox Wine' for red, white and rosé products.

The letterbox-friendly wine bottles boast a slim design that is made from recyclable plastic, yet mimics the look of glass and holds a full 75cl bottle of wine. Those who order a bottle are able to add their own [customized message to the label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-prisoner-red-blend), with Firebox comparing the ease of sending the beverage product to mailing a postcard.

As many consumers rely on ecommerce shops for [unique gift ideas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avalines-holiday-gift-box), brands are launching letterbox-sized packages that simplify the delivery process and ensure that a gift recipient is able to receive their parcel in a timely manner.
