Should I send a box of food or should I send a gift card?Updated 2 years ago

Good question! Either option will mean dinner's done- Meals made with heart.


It's a tough call! Either one will no doubt leave them happy and full!

Surprise orders are strongly not recommended.


Here are some things to consider when deciding: 

  • Are you aware of their dietary preferences and needs? 
  • Will they be home and aware of the delivery? Surprise orders are strongly not recommended. Please ensure you put the recipient's mobile number in the shipping info and alert them that they'll be receiving texts from us. 
  • Is there a safe place to leave the order unattended if they aren't home? If so, please nominate this location in the delivery instructions. 
  • Are they aware they'll receive two messages via SMS about their delivery from us? Please let your recipient know to expect these so they don't think they are spam. They will include tracking links and photos of the delivery. 
  • If you cannot ensure there is a safe delivery location and are unsure if the recipient is home on any given day, we would probably recommend an e-gift card as an alternative. This allows your recipient to order what they'd like and select a delivery slot that suits them.
  • If all this sounds good, and you’d like to go ahead and order a box of food to be delivered, simply select the dinners you'd like, to to the checkout and then after entering your email, select 'Yes' for the question 'Is this a gift?'. You’ll then get the recipient's delivery address and contact details so we can keep them up to date with the delivery. Please ensure you put in separate billing information in case we need to contact you for any reason. 

Please be aware that we’re not responsible for orders after they have been delivered to the listed address. It is the responsibility of the recipient and purchaser to ensure that the address is correct and that the delivery location is safe to leave an order unattended and the order will be collected in good time.
