First check your tracking link for the latest update. If your parcel is more than 3 business days past the estimated delivery window, please contact us and we'll open a formal inquiry with the courier on your behalf.
Gift Wrapping & Packaging
Are your gifts actually wrapped and presented as a gift?
Yes β every order is hand-packed in a signature gift box with tissue paper and finished with ribbon. We are a gift-giving service, which means no invoices, receipts or price tags are ever included.
Do all hampers come in a gift box?
If the product image shows a gift box, it's included at no extra cost. For curated hampers and some individual products, you can add a gift box at checkout for $6.95 β charged at cost with no markup.
Can I choose the colour of the gift wrapping?
Yes β at checkout you can select from soft pink, calming blue or neutral tones to suit the occasion and the baby's gender, or keep it as a surprise.
Is the packaging suitable for posting on to someone?
Absolutely. Our boxes are designed to protect the contents during transit while still arriving looking beautiful. The outer packaging is plain and discreet β the gift presentation is all on the inside.
Gift Card & Message
Is the gift card free?
Yes β a professionally printed gift card is complimentary with every order. There's nothing to add to your cart; simply enter your message at checkout and we'll take care of the rest.
How do I add my personal message?
During checkout you'll be prompted to enter your gift card message. Keep it as short or as heartfelt as you like β there's enough space for a warm, personal note to the new parents.
What does the gift card look like?
Our gift card features a luxurious matte finish in soothing teal and salmon tones β perfectly gender neutral. It's sized at DL format and printed using high-resolution thermal laser printing for a sharp, polished finish.
Can I update my message after placing the order?
If your order hasn't been packed yet, contact us immediately and we'll update the message. Once the gift has been prepared, we're unable to reprint the card, so please double-check your message before completing checkout.
Personalisation
What personalisation options are available?
We offer name embroidery on selected blankets and bodysuits, personalised milestone cards, and engraved keepsakes. Each product listing will clearly indicate whether personalisation is available and what details are required.
How do I submit my personalisation details?
After selecting a personalised product, you'll be prompted to enter the required details β such as the baby's name, date of birth or a short message β directly on the product page before adding to cart.
How long do personalised orders take to dispatch?
Personalised items require additional production time and are typically dispatched within 2β4 business days. Please factor this into your delivery timeframe, especially if the gift is time-sensitive.
Can I return or exchange a personalised item?
Unfortunately personalised items cannot be returned or exchanged unless they arrive faulty or damaged. Please double-check all spelling and details carefully before placing your order, as we produce exactly what is submitted.
Curate Your Own Gift
How does the curate your own gift option work?
Our curate tool lets you build a custom hamper by selecting individual products from our range. Choose items that suit the occasion, budget and baby, then add a gift box at checkout and we'll beautifully pack everything together.
Is there a minimum number of items I need to choose?
There's no strict minimum, but we recommend selecting at least two or three items to create a well-rounded gift. A single item presented in a gift box with a card is also a lovely, simple option.
Can I mix products from different collections?
Yes β you can combine products from any of our collections, including baby boy, baby girl and unisex ranges. This makes it easy to build a truly unique hamper tailored to the new family.
What happens if one of my chosen items goes out of stock?
If a product becomes unavailable after your order is placed, we'll contact you promptly to discuss a suitable alternative of equal or greater value, or arrange a refund for that item.
Returns & Exchanges
What is your returns policy?
We accept returns on non-personalised items within 30 days of delivery, provided they are unused and in original condition. Please contact us before returning any item so we can guide you through the process.
My order arrived damaged β what should I do?
We're sorry to hear that. Please take photos of the damaged item and packaging and contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We'll arrange a replacement or refund promptly β no need to return the damaged item.
How long does a refund take to process?
Once we receive and inspect your return, refunds are processed within 3β5 business days to your original payment method. You'll receive an email confirmation when the refund has been issued.
Who pays for return postage?
If the item is faulty, damaged or we sent the wrong product, we cover return postage costs. For change-of-mind returns, the customer is responsible for return shipping. We recommend using a tracked service as we can't be responsible for lost returns.
Payment & Pricing
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, PayPal, AfterPay and Zip. All transactions are processed securely and prices are displayed in Australian dollars inclusive of GST.
How does AfterPay work for baby gifts?
Select AfterPay at checkout and split your purchase into four fortnightly interest-free payments. AfterPay approval is subject to their standard eligibility criteria. The gift is dispatched immediately β you pay over time.
How do I apply a gift voucher at checkout?
Enter your gift voucher code in the discount or coupon field at checkout. The value will be deducted from your order total. If your order exceeds the voucher value, you can pay the remainder with any accepted payment method.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes β all prices displayed on our website are in Australian dollars and include GST. Your tax invoice is available in your account order history and can also be provided on request.
Products & Stock
Is what I see in the product image exactly what I'll receive?
Yes β we aim to represent our products as accurately as possible. Occasionally minor variations in colour may occur due to screen settings, but the items, presentation and packaging will match what is shown.
What if a product in my hamper is out of stock?
If a product is showing as available on the website, it is in stock and ready to dispatch. In the rare event of a stock discrepancy, we'll contact you immediately to offer a suitable alternative or a refund.
Where are your products made?
We stock a curated selection of premium baby products from trusted Australian and international brands. Each product is chosen for its quality, safety and suitability as a newborn gift. Brand and origin details are listed on each product page.
Will an out-of-stock product be restocked?
Many of our products are restocked regularly. If an item you love is currently unavailable, contact us and we'll let you know the expected restock date or suggest a comparable alternative from our current range.
Corporate & Bulk Orders
Do you offer discounts for bulk or corporate orders?
Yes β we offer preferential pricing for corporate and bulk orders. The discount structure depends on order volume and frequency. Please contact our corporate team with your requirements and we'll provide a tailored quote.
Can you include custom branded packaging or a logo card?
Yes β for qualifying corporate orders we can accommodate custom branded gift cards and, for larger volumes, custom packaging options. Lead times and minimum quantities apply. Contact us early to discuss your branding requirements.
How does invoicing work for business orders?
We can provide a tax invoice for all orders. For regular corporate clients, we can discuss account-based invoicing arrangements. Please reach out to our team directly to set up a business account.
What lead time should I allow for a large corporate order?
For orders of 10 or more gifts, we recommend allowing at least 5β7 business days to ensure stock availability and preparation time. For very large orders or those with personalisation, please contact us at least 2 weeks in advance.
Hospital Delivery
What details do I need to provide for hospital delivery?
Please include the recipient's full name, mobile number, the hospital name and suburb, and the ward or room number if known. The more detail you can provide, the better chance we have of a smooth delivery.
What if the mother has already been discharged when the gift arrives?
If the recipient has been discharged, the hospital will typically hold the parcel or return it to sender. We recommend confirming the recipient is still admitted before placing a hospital delivery order, and considering a home address if discharge is imminent.
Do you deliver to all hospitals across Australia?
We deliver to hospitals throughout Australia via our standard and express services. Same-day courier delivery is available to most Melbourne metro hospitals. We recommend calling the hospital beforehand to confirm their parcel acceptance policy.
Is same-day hospital delivery available in Melbourne?
Yes β our same-day Melbourne courier delivers to most major metropolitan hospitals when ordered before 12pm Monday to Friday. Please include full recipient and ward details to ensure a smooth handover at the hospital reception.
