Christmas Gift Ideas for Friends
Introduction
Christmas is often called a family holiday, but it’s also the perfect time to celebrate the friends who make life brighter. Whether you’ve been besties for decades or you’ve grown close more recently, a thoughtful gift says “you matter to me” in the loveliest way. If finding that just-right present feels tricky, you’re in the right place—our hampers make festive gifting effortless, personal and beautifully presented.
Chandon Christmas Spritz

For the friend who loves sunshine sipping and summer catch-ups, the Chandon Christmas Spritz is a celebration in a box. Expect Chandon Garden Spritz—zesty, citrusy and perfectly festive—paired with seasonal sweets and nibblies. It’s ideal for an afternoon balcony toast or to bring along to a pre-Christmas get-together.
Why they’ll love it: Fresh, bright and party-ready; it turns “we should catch up” into “let’s pop a bottle.”
Veuve Champagne & Cookies

Some friendships call for full sparkle. The Veuve Champagne & Cookies hamper pairs iconic Veuve Clicquot with indulgent Byron Bay Cookies for a luxe meets fun moment. It’s the perfect “cheers to us” gift—simple, elegant and guaranteed to delight.
Why they’ll love it: A little French flair with local sweetness—made for milestone friendships and festive clinks.
Delightful Bites Gift Hamper

For the mate who always brings dessert, the Delightful Bites Gift Hamper leans into indulgence with cookies, chocolate and savoury crisp breads for balance. It turns a quiet movie night into a mini celebration—and makes long-distance gifting feel warm and thoughtful.
Why they’ll love it: Sweet-leaning but not too sweet; a nibble-friendly mix for sharing (or stashing!).
Houseplants
Houseplants can be a gorgeous gift for greenery lovers—beautiful, mood-boosting and great for freshening up a space. If you go this route, match plant care to your friend’s lifestyle (trailers like pothos for easy wins; fuss-free ivies for soft greenery). Bonus: pair your plant with a small hamper of snacks or chocolate for a two-part surprise.
Chocolate Gift Hampers

For chocoholics and dessert-first friends, our Chocolate Gift Hampers deliver a curated tasting of artisan chocolate, chocolate-coated nuts and classic biscuits (hello, Byron Bay Cookies). It’s Christmas dessert—elevated and ready to share.
Why they’ll love it: Layers of flavour and texture—dark, milk, crunch, melt—wrapped up in beautiful Byron Bay style
Winding Road Cocktail Hamper

If your crew loves a DIY cocktail night, the Winding Road Cocktail Hamper brings the bar cart to them. Featuring handcrafted spirits from a local Byron distillery, easy recipe ideas and a mix of sweet-and-savoury snacks, it’s a fun activity gift and festive treat in one.
Why they’ll love it: It’s interactive, celebratory and perfect for silly-season catch-ups.
