Birthday gifts

Birthday gifts for people who are difficult to buy for

The hardest birthdays to buy for are the people who already have what they need. A beautifully chosen collection of food and drink solves it, because nobody has too much of something genuinely good.

It is also a gift that gets used. It will be opened on the kitchen table, poured on a Friday evening and finished within the week — which is more than can be said for most birthday presents.

Add a personal message at checkout and we will send it straight to them on the day.

Personalised message included · Sent gift-ready · No prices in the box

Great Taste Producer award badge

Great Taste recognised

Many of the makers we work with are Great Taste Producers, with products judged and awarded by the Guild of Fine Food — a quiet mark of quality we look for before anything earns a place in a Lawrence & Co. hamper.

Collections that suit a birthday particularly well.

When to send it

Milestone birthdays, 30ths and 60ths, or the years in between when you want to do something better than a card. Next-day delivery is available, so it can be with them the next working day.

Who it suits

Mum, Dad, a partner, a sibling or a friend you cannot get to in person. If they enjoy good food, English wine or simply a well-made cup of coffee, this lands well.

Why it beats another candle

It is personal without being presumptuous. You are not guessing their taste in scent or size — you are sending things chosen by people who taste for a living, presented well enough to open in front of other people.

How it arrives on the day

Everything is packed by hand in a rigid, magnetic-closure gift box, layered with tissue and finished with ribbon. Your personal message is enclosed on a printed card, and there are never any prices inside.

Good to know

All FAQs & contact
Are Lawrence & Co. hampers suitable for birthdays?

Yes — birthdays are one of the most common reasons people send them. Every hamper includes a personalised message card, and there are never prices inside the box.

What is a good gift for someone who has everything?

Something consumable and beautifully made. Food and drink from independent producers gives them a genuine experience rather than another object to find space for.

Can you deliver on the birthday itself?

Next-day delivery is available, so you can time it to the day.
