Everyone has a mailbox (and I mean the physical one, you nerd). That’s funny isn’t it? Have you ever just sat down and thought about “mailboxes”? When did they become invented? Did the neanderthalers had mailboxes in their caves? When did the Postal Services became so mixed in all of our lives that having a mailbox is somehow so essential that without it you are non-existent to the country you live in?

And so what you would expect is that “the mailbox” is a concept in itself. And also that there exist a wide variety of mailboxes and that even some mailboxes will tell something about the owner (either the company or the person). It’s a business on it’s own.

So…which one do YOU have? For me, A boring little rectangle hole in my door…sigh… Time to look for something special! What is the “rolex”, the “Weber” or the “rolls royce” under the mailboxes? What would be “me”?

So (ofcourse) I went to the Mailbox Exchange since they have over 1500 mailboxes and curbside decor products from dozens of manufacturers. I scrolled through the many mailboxes on the site since I was thinking myself on placing one of these in our garden. The list is amazing! To indicate to you on what I am talking about I will discuss some of the mailboxes.

The one you see on the left is called the Curbvault High Security box. Holy cow… this is the most coolest mailboxes I have ever seen in my life. When you click the link you get to see the movie(!). There are 32 patents on this mailbox and this thing absolutely 100% secures your e-mail mail from the moment that it is delivered to you, it is undestructable! How jealous can I make someone when this beast is in my garden? Will the postman pray to me when he walks by? Will he be happy and have a smile when he starts his day because he has a chance to operate the Curbvault High Security box?

The one to the top right is the Mayne & Salsbury Black Signature Plus Mailbox which is very nice because you combine it with flowers! On the page there is a nice instruction on how to “plant” it in your garden. I think this is a very very nice mailbox for in the front garden. It just blends in with the flowers.

Herunder are some more options I thought about, under each picture of the mailboxes I placed the link to the productpage on which you can find much more background information. 

And some more I was thinking about since they are SO beautiful:

Well…I am not finished with my selection, if you are looking for some nice models or ideas for your own place then check the mailbox exchange like I did.
