You’ve Got Mail: 10 Weird and Wonderful Mailbox Ideas

Your mailbox is the first feature of most homes. When people enter your property this will be where their eyes are initially averted too. Most people opt for a standard mailbox; a red or black box with the words ‘MAIL’ written on the top. But there are those who have put their creativity to the test and come up with weird yet undeniably wonderful mailbox ideas. Take a look…

7) Giraffe Mailbox.

Someone clearly got sick of their letters overflowing out of their mailbox, or perhaps they are just a lover of giraffes; whatever the reason may be, you can’t deny that this is a rather random choice of mailbox. But it’s still creative, eye-catching, and has a presence big enough to match that of the wildlife animal itself!

8) Mannequin Mailbox.

This mailbox truly defines the word ‘odd’ yet that’s what makes it genius. You don’t quite know what the mannequin is meant to represent, you don’t know why this design has been chosen, you don’t understand the bright blue colour – but you don’t care, because the complete randomness of the whole thing is what makes it so funny.

9) Tiki Mailbox.

It doesn’t get much more imaginative than this! This Tiki Mailbox is made from an old palm tree stump. Impressive. right?

10) Rear End Mailbox.
