Birthday gift ideas for everyone on your list

Birthdays come around every year, and somehow they always sneak up on you. Whether it's your best friend, your partner or your dad, a good birthday gift says “I know you” without costing a fortune. These are our favourite birthday gift ideas.

For the foodie friend

If they post every meal on Instagram, get them a gift that looks good enough to eat. Food-inspired gift boxes are a guaranteed laugh at the party.

For your partner

Pair something sweet with something personal. A rose that never wilts is a playful alternative to flowers.
