How Fast Can a Birthday Hamper Arrive?

Same-day delivery is available in Melbourne by arrangement. Give us a call with the delivery address and we will quote the rate over the phone. Same-day delivery runs on weekdays and is not available for hampers containing alcohol. Everywhere else, express is the fastest option. Every hamper ships via Australia Post, every order is tracked, and these are the estimated times from dispatch:

Delivery estimates only. Actual delivery times may vary slightly. Please refer to our Shipping Policy for full details.

We do not deliver on weekends, so for a weekend birthday, plan for the hamper to arrive during the week before. For corporate clients with several birthdays to manage, one order can ship to many addresses.

Our team is available by live chat from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and 10am to 2pm on weekends (Melbourne time), and by phone on +61 3 7046 4648, to help with urgent birthday gift requirements.

Wine Enthusiast Hampers

For a wine lover, our wine hampers feature Australian wines from Penfolds, Jacob's Creek and St Hallett, paired with gourmet treats. Classic Delights Gift Hamper ($80) is an easy pick under $100, with a smooth Shiraz, a Whittaker's dark chocolate and almond bar, lemon white chocolate biscuits and cheese nibbles. Other wine hampers add Valley Produce Company crackers, Lakker Chocolatiers chocolate or Nutworks nuts, and a few sparkling hampers include Krosno flutes.

Gourmet Food Hampers

Food lovers will appreciate our gourmet hampers, from Beerenberg jams and Valley Produce Company crackers to Lakker Chocolatiers delights and artisanal biscuits. For sweet-toothed recipients, we offer collections featuring Whittaker’s, Lakker Chocolatiers, Charlotte Piper and other quality brands.

Self-Care and Pampering Collections

For someone who deserves a quiet night, our pampering hampers include products from Alive Body, Huxter and Tilley: bath bombs, candles, hand creams and diffusers for a spa-style evening at home. Pamper and Indulge Gift Hamper ($110) pairs Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz with a Huxter orange and cedarwood hand cream, Tilley Tahitian Frangipani hand and nail cream, Tilley lavender body wash and Ogilvie and Co Chocolate Chip Cookies. Some collections add Love Tea or Pana hot chocolate.

Premium Whisky and Spirit Hampers

Whisky and gin lovers will enjoy our spirit hampers, featuring Glenfiddich, The Macallan, Four Pillars and Bombay Sapphire. Our whisky hampers pair Scotch with savoury and sweet accompaniments, and several include a Glencairn whisky glass. For gin, Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tonic Hamper ($125) brings Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin with Fever-Tree Mediterranean and Premium Indian tonic waters and Valley Produce Company crackers, so the first gin and tonic is ready the moment it arrives.

Corporate Birthday Gifting Made Easy

Corporate birthday gifts need a professional touch while still feeling genuine, and our corporate hampers suit client and employee birthdays alike.

We offer branded gift boxes, ribbons, stickers and message slips for a small one-off setup fee, with no minimum order, so the unboxing becomes a touchpoint for your brand.

For companies with multiple birthday celebrations each month, our team can help with large orders and delivery to multiple addresses, which makes regular birthday gifting simple for HR departments and executive assistants.

Executive Premium Hampers

For senior executives or VIP clients, our premium hampers priced between $300 and $475 feature champagne like Moët & Chandon, homewares from brands like Country Road and David Jones, and gourmet delicacies.

These hampers combine several premium elements. Champagne Wellness Escape ($345) pairs Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial with an Alive Body coconut and wild orange wash and lotion duo, Lakker Chocolatiers dark chocolate and a Sugared Rose candle and diffuser. For a client or stakeholder, a hamper at this level communicates appreciation while keeping things professional. For more ideas, see our guide to champagne hampers for corporate gifts and birthdays.

Personalised Gift Messages

Even with a last-minute order, your personal touch comes through. Your message is printed on an A5 compliments slip, free with every hamper, with a matching printed occasion card where the message calls for one. For corporate clients, branded message slips can carry your logo for a small one-off setup fee. Express orders get the same message as any other.

Every hamper arrives in a gift box with a hand-tied ribbon and milk chocolates, and from $100 in a high GSM white or black magnetic keepsake box with a golden bow and matte finish, at no extra cost. Items are packed to travel safely, so the unboxing looks as considered as the gift. A last-minute hamper gets the same care as one ordered weeks ahead.

Seasonal Birthday Gift Collections

Summer birthdays suit crisp white wines from Catalina Sounds and Squealing Pig, or Love Tea and self-care products for a non-alcoholic option. Winter birthdays call for warming hampers with Pana hot chocolate, Penfolds or St Hallett reds, or Glenfiddich and The Macallan whisky with Glencairn glassware.

When a birthday falls in the holiday season, a hamper with its own birthday message helps the day stand apart from the festivities. Processing may take a little longer at Christmas, so ordering early is wise, and express delivery helps when time is tight.
