A potato in the mail: ‘Text-a-Potato’ expands into themed potato gifts

British based ‘Text-A-Potato’ is a business that sends personalised, hand written messages on potatoes to anyone in the UK and select European countries. Yes, you read that correctly. The Text-A-Potato team send potatoes with messages in the post. The business has now expanded into themed potato gifts, including spuds for anniversaries, congratulations, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas and even proposals. Text-A-Potato has also started to broaden its offering to include personalised and annoying cards. According to Jonathan Brook and Hayley Hollonds, co-founders of Text-A-Potato, “our potato gifts are sent via a courier and are completely anonymous, unless of course, the customer’s potato message specifically says who it is from. Text-A-Potato is purely an ecommerce company and all of the products are sold exclusively through our website www.textapotato.com.” More
