Get Inspired By On Screen Heroes

Is there a character that you and the kids absolutely adore? Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. Get yourself a nice character inspired mailbox and let the heroes welcome your mail. A number of online stores have these readily available at a great price! And if you are a keen craftsman, sculpture it out in your garage workshop.

Reuse & Recycle

These toys which are mostly hollow inside make for excellent mailboxes and can be quick crafted into beautiful sculptures with a little effort.

This genre never goes out of fashion. A classic wrought iron mailbox, fitted perfectly into the brickwork posts makes up for a very handsome alternative. Such mailboxes blend very well with your existing landscape and add and old world charm to your curb. And the best part is, that old school is evergreen.
