Getting a tasty gift on your birthday is a pretty great feeling, and that’s not really up for dispute. Now, receiving a tasty gift that someone has put thought and effort into? That can really make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. 

Opening a birthday hamper that has all your favourite flavours, your tipple of choice and your name is a special feeling. It can really make a birthday memorable and show your loved ones that you took the time to think about them.  

However, putting one together yourself would be a tricky endeavour. That's why Peach Hampers offers a whole range of high-quality personalised birthday gift hampers for any kind of giftee. But how do you know which one to pick? Let’s find out! 

Start With Your Recipient in Mind 

The most sensible place to start is to know who you’re gifting to. To make sure they’ll love it, you’ll want to think about their personality, interests and preferences.  

A little research goes a long way, so think beyond the obvious! Your loved one could be a lady, but do they love sweet or salty? Are they a fizz and nibbles kind of person, or do they prefer a spot of afternoon tea? Hot chocolate perhaps? 

For example, for your best friend who wants a mix of everything, but is going gluten free, the Gluten Free Goodies Personalised Gift Hamper sounds perfect. Or, for your dad, who loves nothing more than a nibble in your local beer garden, try the Name Your Tavern Birthday Pub Hamper.

If you’re stuck for ideas, start by checking out our Birthday Gift Hampers for Her and Birthday Gift Hampers for Him.

Pick a Theme That Tells a Story 

Now you’ve thought about their tastes, it’s time to give your hamper an overall theme. You can build a ‘mini experience’ in a box by thinking about when and where they’ll enjoy their hamper. 

For example, we make hampers for people who love: 

So, if you want to make your gift more of an occasion, we’ve definitely got the hampers to make that happen. Added details like this will make your present appear even more thoughtful. 

Add Your Own Special Message 

There’s nothing that will speak to your loved ones more than your own words. Now, anyone can write a note, but Peach Hampers makes your sentiment part of the package. 

When you’re adding your hamper to your bag, you’ll be given the option to add a personal message in our range of different fonts. Pick the one that feels just right, and write your message! You know the recipient best, so go for light-hearted, funny, warm or sentimental, whichever makes sense for the giftee. 

Your words will appear on the flip side of your hamper, on our compostable, biodegradable and recyclable card wrap. For corporate birthday gifts, we’ll even brand up your hamper free of charge. 

Presentation Matters 

We all know not to judge a book by its cover, but first impressions still count! When your birthday gift arrives beautifully presented, it already feels like a treat before it’s even opened. 

Our hampers come ready to impress, packaged in sustainable, eco-conscious packaging and wrapping. For a fun-filled surprise, try our Slice of Paradise Birthday Hamper, and customise the cake with their favourite colours. Alternatively, picnic lovers might adore the luxury wicker basket that our Marvellous Happy Birthday Hamper comes with. 

The personalised message on the back adds that extra special element, and our wrapping is fully recyclable, too. It’s the kind of gift you’ll want to take a photo of before opening.
