For Him

Guys can be notoriously difficult to buy birthday presents for. All too often, they just shrug their shoulders and respond with a monosyllabic grunt (we know, we know, “not all men”). But they tend to have the pragmatism of a Spartan: Why would I need another shirt? I’ve only got one chest? Super helpful, thanks.

However, all is not lost. This does mean that hampers for him are an incredibly clever choice. After all, it is gifting them things to eat and drink, and as the old adage goes, this is truly the way to a man’s heart. But which hamper? That’s another question altogether. Here are a few ideas for the different kind of men in your life.

The guy who has just moved out of home.
These days, this happens later and later (interest rates and rental prices can catch fire). But on his birthday, we would recommend the Jazzy James. This gift box for him will help populate a sparse new home with the kinds of things that communicate a James Bond-esque sense of style and elegance. We are talking handmade leather coasters, fresh out of a Kiwi tannery to their living room. There is a bottle of champagne to celebrate both the birthday and the new digs and - before you ask - it is champagne, not sparkling white. Only the best for this guy! Throw in some Queensland macadamias, Honey from Mudgee as well as stone ground chocolate from West Oz. Happy birthday, you fancy son of a gun!

The gringo.
Gringo: noun A Latin American term for any white person. Let’s be clear, Mexican is a serious vibe. The food, the cocktails, the weather… The Tequila Tom is a particularly strong gift box for him if the birthday boy would rather find themselves in Tijuana than in Tamworth. The first thing you’ll notice is the Mexican made tequila, produced by one of Central America’s master distillers. Then, you’ll notice the salted grapefruit mixers which act as a one way ticket to Margaritaville (not the town in Mississippi, ore the state of mind). Throw in some corn chips and chilli salt chocolate, and you’re in a serious birthday fiesta, followed by a mellow siesta.

The night owl.
We all know that one guy who doesn’t surface before 10am. Even then, they’re usually heavily caffeinated. There are a number of hampers for him that might suit, but turn your attention to the Brewing Braden. We start off with two espresso martinis to help in those wee hours of the morning when they need a little pick-me-up. Staying with the theme, we include stone ground coffee infused chocolate, and to wrap it all up, an Australian made hand poured soy wax candle. After all, they aren’t getting a lot of natural light.


We’ve got over thirty different hampers for him so whether your birthday boy fits these categories or not, we’ve got the gift box for him.
