If you’re after something sweet and a little bit different for her birthday, this cake is spot on. The zingy passionfruit drizzled sponge is a perfect match with the smooth pistachio buttercream – a really lovely flavour combo! On top, there’s pistachio icing, crunchy pistachios, freeze-dried raspberries, white chocolate pearls and a little gold leaf to make it look super fancy. Why is this perfect for her? Because it’s a gorgeous, delicious birthday cake that feels extra special – just like her! It’s been our bestseller since day one, and it’s easy to see why. This cake is sure to make her birthday feel even more special, with a burst of flavour and a touch of luxury.
For the guy who’s always up for a good beer and an even better treat, our Happy Birthday Brownies & Trio of Beers Bundle is a total game-changer. Why is this ideal for him? If he loves sampling new craft beers and devouring rich brownies, he’s going to love this. We’ve paired up six irresistible brownie flavours (Chocolate Nutella, Peanut Butter Fudge, Salted Caramel - yes, please!) with a trio of top-notch beers. It’s the perfect combo of sweet and refreshing, and it’s all wrapped up in a fun, illustrated birthday sleeve. Trust us, he’ll be grinning from ear to ear as soon as he opens this birthday box!
If your dad is a cheese enthusiast (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), this hamper will be his new favourite gift! Why is this perfect for him? When it comes to birthdays, dads deserve something that’s as indulgent as they are, and this Big Cheese Hamper is a one-way ticket to a cheesy heaven. We’ve packed this hamper with rich, premium cheeses like Mouse House cheddar and smoked red Leicester, along with crunchy crackers, chutney and spiced nuts. It’s an all-in-one gourmet experience that’ll have him kicking back and enjoying his birthday like a true connoisseur. Perfect for any cheese-loving dad!

We’ve included our sweet raspberry and white chocolate scones with clotted cream, indulgent lavender and honey loaf cakes and our savoury pesto pinwheels for a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Add in our English Breakfast Tea and you’ve got an afternoon tea fit for a queen. It’s the perfect way to show mum just how much she means to you on her big day!
Let’s be real - kids and chocolate go together like cake and icing… so, these Mini Egg Cookie Bites are the ideal birthday treat! Why is this great for them? These cookies are packed with delicious chocolate shavings and crunchy sugar shell bits, just like those Easter Mini Eggs we all know and love. They’re irresistibly rich, with a satisfying crumbly crunch, making them the perfect snack for kids (or anyone with a sweet tooth!). Whether you’re adding them to a gift or giving them solo, these little bites are guaranteed to bring a big smile. Perfect for a birthday party treat or an extra-special gift for the birthday kiddos!
Looking for the perfect gift for your sweet-toothed friend? Our Happy Birthday Squidge Selection Box is your go-to. Why is this perfect for them? If your pal can never say no to a sweet treat (who can?), this box will make their day. Inside, they’ll find a mix of mini cupcakes, delicate macarons and our signature biskies. These biskies are something truly special - they’re like a biscuit, cookie and cake all rolled into one, with a light buttercream filling that’s nothing short of heavenly. This box is full of everything that’ll make your friend’s birthday extra sweet - because we all know a little sweetness goes a long way.
For your vegan friend who loves a fruity treat, this Vegan Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake is going to be their new favourite birthday dessert. Why is this the perfect choice? It’s the perfect balance of zesty lemon and fruity blueberry, with layers of soft vegan vanilla sponge and creamy blueberry buttercream. The added touch of a salty digestive crumb makes it irresistibly delicious, while the candied lemon and dried fruits on top give this vegan cake a gorgeous finishing touch. Whether they’re celebrating a milestone or just another year of fabulousness, this cheesecake cake is a thoughtful and indulgent treat they’ll absolutely love.
