Most of us have a standard issue mailbox sitting out in our yard, but I love seeing homeowners who take things up a notch with creative spins on their boxes.
All of the examples below can definitely fit into that category! Can you just imagine the look on a postal worker's face when they see the giant animal surrounding the home's mailbox in #4? Or how about some of the hilarious ways people have upcycled their old appliances?
The themes range from nerdy sci-fi to outdoorsy fisherman. They've all totally inspired me to let a little bit of my own personality shine through my mailbox, too.
Would you ever give your mailbox a unique upgrade like these? Have you already shown off your family's creative side with an idea not listed below?
