We’ve all been there. You’re staring at your calendar, heart sinking as you realise: someone’s birthday is today. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today.

Cue the panic scroll for a last-minute gift that won’t scream “I totally forgot.” Luckily, if you’re in Melbourne (or sending to someone who is), we’ve got you. These birthday gifts all offer same day delivery in Melbourne and manage to feel thoughtful, fun, and way more planned than they actually are.

Here are five of our favourite last-minute birthday gifts that still bring the wow.

1. Cake box with flying butterflies

Nothing says surprise like an edible gift that explodes with confetti and butterflies. The Cake Explosion Box is a crowd favourite for a reason. It arrives looking sweet and innocent – then bam, the lid comes off and confetti bursts out, with flying paper butterflies, a mini cake or loaded brownie inside, and the option to add a custom photo or message.

It’s bold. It’s joyful. And best of all? It’s available for same day Melbourne delivery.

2. A Box of Loaded Cookies (Because One Just Isn’t Enough)

For the cookie monsters in your life, the Fully Loaded Cookies box is the ultimate birthday binge. Think huge, chewy cookies filled with ganache, biscoff, choc chips and other rich surprises. This isn’t your average gift box – it’s a flavour bomb wrapped in nostalgia.

Order by 2PM and they’ll be digging into gooey, golden deliciousness before the day’s out.

3. Personalised Loaded Brownie That Feels Custom 

Need something quick but still personal? The Personalised Loaded Brownie is it. Choose your message, pick a sprinkle colour, and let us do the rest. It’s baked fresh on the day and delivered direct to their door, all wrapped up in rainbow vibes and rich chocolate.

Perfect for when you want to say happy birthday with a little flair, without lifting more than a finger.

4. Assorted Donut Party Box for Instant Celebration Mode

You can never go wrong with donuts. The Assorted Donut Party Box comes packed with our best-selling flavours in a colourful, party-ready box. Whether it’s for the office, a housemate, or just someone who really loves donuts, this one hits every time.

Bonus: you can add a confetti bomb or custom message card to make it feel more festive.

5. Cupcakes That Look Cute and Taste Even Better

If you’re after something sweet and simple, the Assorted Cupcakes box is a winner. They come in a mix of flavours, topped with buttercream swirls and sprinkles, and they feel way more effortful than they are. 

Final Thoughts

Running late doesn’t mean you have to settle for a boring birthday gift. These five treats are fast, fun, and guaranteed to bring a smile. Whether you go for something dramatic like an explosion box or sweet and simple like a box of cupcakes, it only takes a few clicks to get something special out the door.

Panic avoided. Birthday saved. You’re welcome.
