Gift Hampers for Every Occasion

Getting the address right

The usual reason a gift hamper goes astray is an address that was fine for a letter and wrong for a parcel. Unit and level numbers matter. In office parks the business name matters more than the street number. If the recipient works in a large building, put the company name and floor on the address line, because Australia Post delivers to a dock or a mailroom, not to a desk. The most useful field on the whole form is the recipient's mobile number rather than yours: it is what lets the delivery driver make contact when nobody answers.

Home or work is a genuine decision, not a formality. A workplace almost always has someone present during business hours, which suits a box travelling in an insulated shipper. A home address suits anything personal, anything the recipient might not want opened in front of colleagues, and anything containing a bottle where the office has a view on it.

Your message, on a card under the bow

Every hamper includes a free personalised gift card at no extra charge. You type the message at checkout, and it is slipped under the gold ribbon so it is the first thing seen when the lid comes off. Two things worth remembering. Sign it, because the recipient has no other way of knowing who the parcel came from. And use more than three words: a line about why you are sending it does more work than the food does. If the hamper is going to a household or a team, address the message to all of them, otherwise it quietly becomes one person's box.

One order, several addresses

The checkout has a ship to multiple addresses function. One order, one payment, as many destinations as you need, each carrying its own gift card message. That is the difference between sending twenty client gifts in an afternoon and spreading them across three days of repeat checkouts. If the run is larger again, or needs a consistent message across a whole team, the staff and client gifting range is set up for it.

Dispatch and delivery times

Order before 1pm on a weekday and the hamper is dispatched the same day. After that it is in the hands of Australia Post, and transit time is theirs rather than ours, so we will not quote you a number of days for your postcode. What is useful to know is where the lead time actually bites: the fortnight before Christmas and the week before Mother's Day are the two periods when ordering with room to spare changes whether the gift lands on the day it was meant to.

Sending hampers around Australia

Every parcel carries track and trace, so you can see it move rather than wonder. Hampers go out to capital cities, regional towns and everywhere between; hampers delivered Australia-wide covers the national range, and there are dedicated pages for Melbourne and Sydney if you are sending within one city. Wherever it lands, the box is hand-packed by our team and the food inside is the same: Kangaroo Island honey popcorn, Chocolatier Belgian truffles, Valley Produce Company crackers, olives and shortbread, plus a full bottle in the hampers that carry one.

What it costs to send

Shipping is assessed per hamper, because each hamper is packed and posted as its own parcel. A hamper over $100 ships free; a hamper under $100 attracts a shipping charge, and two under-$100 hampers do not combine to reach the threshold. That is useful to know before you split a budget across two small boxes instead of one larger one. The delivery and shipping page has the rest, and the full hamper range is where to start choosing.

Questions people ask before sending

Can one order go to several different addresses?

Yes. Choose the ship to multiple addresses option at checkout, then assign each hamper its own recipient, address and card message. You pay once and each parcel is tracked separately.

What should I write on the gift card?

Your name, first. After that, one specific sentence beats a greeting: what the gift is for, or what you are thanking them for. It is the only part of the parcel that is genuinely yours.

Is it better to send a hamper to a home or an office?

An office if the recipient works standard hours and you want it taken in promptly. A home if the gift is personal, if it contains alcohol, or if the recipient would rather not open something in front of a room of colleagues.

How will the recipient know a hamper is on its way?

They will not, unless you tell them. Tracking updates come back to you as the buyer, not to them, so if the recipient travels or keeps odd hours, either give them warning or send it somewhere staffed.
