And for a present that marks the age as well as the day, browse the full personalised gifts range — from Year You Were Born mugs to engraved glasses.
Choosing a birthday gift
The easiest way in is to think about what they actually enjoy. For someone who loves food and drink, a hamper does the work of several presents in one: the Design Your Own Hamper starts with an empty red gift box that you fill with wine, chocolates, cakes and treats; the Sweet Tooth Hamper holds ten kinds of chocolate bar, two of each; the Cadbury’s Chocolatey Gift Hamper suits any age; and the Deirdre Hamper pairs gourmet treats with a red and a white wine. Fresh flowers make the day itself feel special. For something they’ll keep, go personalised: a The Day You Were Born poster, or the photo block printed on canvas; a Year You Were Born mug listing the famous births, GAA and Six Nations winners and the price of a pint from their year; or a bottle of personalised prosecco with Happy Birthday or any title on the label. For a laugh, there are Face Print personalised socks, the Take Some Timeout novelty chocolate box, and an Any Photo and Message chocolate bar in Irish milk chocolate made in Cork. For younger children, the Coloured Personalised Wooden Train Name spells out their name in coloured wooden letters behind a locomotive.
What are good birthday present ideas for her and for him?
For her: a fresh flower bouquet on the day, the Hug In A Box Hamper with a plush hot water bottle, Butlers chocolates and hot chocolate, a The Day You Were Born poster, or a personalised photo chocolate bar. For him: a Year You Were Born mug, Face Print socks, the Deirdre Hamper, or a personalised bottle of prosecco. More ideas on our birthday gifts for her and birthday gifts for him pages.
What suits a milestone birthday like a 16th, 21st or 40th?
Gifts that make the age part of the story work best — a The Day You Were Born poster or photo block, a Year You Were Born personalised mug, or a balloon in a box for the exact age, from a 2nd birthday right up to a 100th, including a 16th. Each milestone from 13th to 80th also has its own page, with gifts picked for that particular birthday.
How will the gift be presented?
Gifts sent straight to the recipient always arrive well-presented — exactly how depends on the gift. A hamper typically arrives in its own gift box, while other items are usually wrapped in tissue with a gift bag and ribbon, though presentation varies by item. You can also include a personalised card with your own message, added at checkout.
When should I order a birthday gift?
Orders ship daily from Dublin, so ready-made gifts such as hampers, flowers and chocolates are a safe choice even close to the day. Personalised pieces are made to order, so allow a few extra working days for printing or engraving, and double-check names and spellings before you order. Delivery is available across Ireland, the UK and Europe; fresh flowers, fresh fruit hampers and balloons are delivered within Ireland only, and gifts containing alcohol to Ireland and the UK only.
