How to Send a Gift to Perth When You Can't Be There In Person
Some of the most meaningful gifts aren't given in person. They're ordered from a kitchen table in London or Dublin at midnight, or a lounge room in Auckland on a Sunday afternoon, by someone who wishes they could be there and wants to show it.
Distance doesn't have to mean doing nothing. If someone you love is in Perth and you're not, here's how to make sure they feel it anyway.
Occasions worth sending a gift for
You don't need a big reason. But if you're looking for one:
Birthdays. The one occasion nobody wants to feel forgotten on, especially when the people they love are far away.
Congratulations. A new job, a graduation, an engagement. The big moments deserve more than a message.
New baby. A new arrival is one of life's most precious moments. Send something for mum too. She's earned it.
Sympathy. When someone is going through a hard time and you can't be there to sit with them, send them a hug in a box.
Get well soon. When someone is under the weather and you can't pop round with homemade soup, a gift box filled with goodies is the next best thing.
Christmas. Perth Christmases might look a little different from what you're used to back home. Think 40 degree heat and barbecues on the beach. But that doesn't mean the people you love should miss out on a little something to unwrap.
Just because. Honestly, the best reason of all.

You know them better than anyone. The Build Your Own Gift Box lets you choose every single item that goes inside. Pick your size (4, 6 or 8 items) and hand pick each product from the range. Sweet treats, self-care, keepsakes, personalised mugs, photo prints. Whatever feels right for your person.
No guessing. Just a gift that feels like it came from someone who really knows them. Because it did.
