They are all over London, postbox toppers. If you want to make your own, you can find instructions from the Townwomen's Guild. A bit of fun. Harmless fun. You make the base to the size of the round or oval postbox. Then add the toppings. Topical toppings, seasonal toppings, whatever. I would add flowers for spring, and a squirrel with nuts for autumn, or autumn leaves, snow and red santas or santa and sleigh, or a reindeer, or reindeer pulling a sleigh, or even a ski slope with pine trees, in winter. Cakes in the supermarket or a book on cake decorating could give you ideas, or just copy the local scenery. Pick something traditional in your area to match a traditional box. Americans with private mail boxes at the ends of their driveways could copy this idea.https://www.the-tg.com/thingstodo/postbox-toppers/50.aspxHat on a mail box. Long Elmes road. Harrow. London.
