Shop our Biscuits Range Online
Two different purchases share this page. One is a tin: Grandma Wild's embossed biscuit tins in highland cow, garden retreat, snowy robin and wildflower meadow designs, which keep working as storage long after the biscuits are gone. The other is the biscuit itself, and for that the Australian names matter. Jen's Biscuits bakes Anzac biscuits, melting moments, jam drops and gingernuts the traditional way. Valley Produce Company makes pure butter shortbread in tubes and tins with wattle, gumnut blossom, waratah and kookaburra artwork.
If you are buying a gift, choose the tin first and the flavour second. If you are buying for yourself, ignore that advice entirely.
The tin is the gift
A biscuit tin is one of the few edible presents that leaves something behind. Grandma Wild's builds its range around that: deep embossed lids, barrel tins, giant tubes and the Victorian Floral luxury assortment, in designs that range from garden and beehive scenes to cats in jumpers. They get reused for buttons, cables and sewing kits for years afterwards. The full selection sits on the biscuit tins page if you want to shop by tin rather than by biscuit.
Valley Produce Company takes a more Australian route, with shortbread tins and tubes illustrated with bottlebrush, waratah, gumnut blossom, Australian animals and Aussie birds. These are the ones to post overseas, because the tin explains where it came from before the lid is off.
Australian biscuits, baked the traditional way
Jen's Biscuits is the reason people search for Australian biscuits and end up here. The range covers Anzac biscuits, traditional and chocolate and raspberry melting moments, jam drops, jam rosettes, gingernuts, ginger oat, choc viennese whirls and macadamia and white chocolate. They come in generous bags rather than fussy boxes, which makes them the sensible choice for a morning tea, a site smoko or a care package.
Gingerbread Folk handles the gingerbread side: gingerbread men, mini folk in snack and pantry packs, kiddiewinks, chocolate gingerbread, and house and tree kits for the school holidays.
Shortbread
Shortbread is the biscuit most often given, so it is worth being specific. Valley Produce Company makes pure butter, macadamia, ginger and a gluten free pure butter shortbread. Scottie Dog Shortbread Co makes butter shortbread fingers, choc chip and festive shapes, and its fingers are also one of the items packed into our gourmet hampers, so the range is familiar to a lot of our customers before they ever buy a tube.
Gluten free biscuits
Gluten free here means a real biscuit, not a compromise. Valley Produce Company's gluten free pure butter shortbread and Gingerbread Folk's gluten free gingerbread men, Christmas minis, kiddiewinks and house kits all sit in the gluten free range, and the gingerbread house kits mean a coeliac child does not sit out the decorating.
Biscuits for occasions
Tins do most of the work at Christmas. Grandma Wild's festive range and Valley Produce Company's nutcracker and snowy santa tins are sold on their own, so they gift without any assembly. The shortbread packed into our Christmas hampers is Scottie Dog. A tin also travels well as a thank you, a housewarming or a get well gift, and pairs neatly with tea or a jar of marmalade from the condiments range. For a birthday, the Australian shortbread tubes and Jen's melting moments read as more personal than a generic box, because you are choosing a flavour someone actually asked for rather than an assortment that hedges every bet.
Questions about our biscuits and tins
What is the difference between a biscuit tin and a biscuit tube?
A tin is embossed, rigid and designed to be kept, so it suits a gift that should linger. A tube is slimmer, packs more easily into a parcel and takes up less shelf space at the other end. Both protect the biscuits properly in transit.
Which biscuits on this page are made in Australia?
Jen's Biscuits, Valley Produce Company shortbread and Gingerbread Folk are all Australian. Grandma Wild's is the British name in the range, and it is the one to pick when you want the tin itself to be the present.
Are any of the biscuits gluten free?
Yes. Gingerbread Folk produces a gluten free version of most of its line, including the gingerbread house kits, and Valley Produce Company makes a gluten free pure butter shortbread that holds together like the standard one.
Can I send biscuit tins to several different people in one order?
You can. The checkout includes a ship to multiple addresses function, so one order can go out to a list of recipients, each with its own free personalised gift card carrying your message. Orders placed before 12pm on a weekday are dispatched the same day.
