Melbourne’s Best Same Day Gift Guide

by Phillip Kuoch on July 07, 2025

Sometimes you plan ahead. Sometimes you wake up and realise it’s your best mate’s birthday, your parents’ anniversary, or Mother’s Day… and you’ve got nothing. Good news? You’re in Melbourne - and same day gift delivery is a thing. Even better news? The best ones don’t feel rushed at all.

If you’re looking for something thoughtful, fun, and fast, here are our top picks for same day gift ideas in Melbourne that work for any occasion - from birthdays to Father’s Day and everything in between.

1. Birthday Gifts That Feel Personal

Forgot someone’s birthday? Or maybe you’re just not great at planning ahead. Either way, a same day edible gift can still feel like it was all part of the plan. From loaded brownies and cookie boxes to confetti-filled dessert explosions, there are plenty of last-minute birthday gifts that bring the fun and still show you care.

Explore birthday gift delivery in Melbourne here - everything’s handmade and available for same day delivery if you order before 2PM.

2. Anniversary Gifts That Don’t Feel Generic

You don’t need roses or jewelry to celebrate an anniversary - especially if you’re short on time. An edible gift that shows up the same day still makes an impact. Think dessert boxes with surprise confetti, personalised cookies, or a mini cake delivered straight to their door. Add a custom message and a butterfly explosion card if you really want to dial it up.

3. Same Day Hampers That Don’t Feel Last Minute

Hampers doesn’t have to mean boring cheese and crackers. In Melbourne, you can send same day hampers packed with cookies, brownies, mini cakes and confetti surprises that actually feel fun. Some even come with floating butterflies or edible photos for a little drama when they open the box.

These work for birthdays, thank-yous, or even just to say “sorry I forgot, but here’s cake.” Look for options that let you customise flavours or messages to make it feel more personal.

4. Mother’s Day Gifts She’ll Actually Use

Let’s be honest, Mum probably doesn’t need another candle. If you’re in Melbourne and running out of time, edible gifts are a great way to show love without hitting the shops. A confetti explosion box with cake, a loaded brownie with a sweet message, or even a floral donut box are all same day options that feel more heartfelt than something from the chemist.

5. Father’s Day Gifts With a Sense of Humour

Dads are hard to buy for - especially if you’ve left it to the day of. The good news is, there are same day gift boxes made for guys who don’t want socks or soap. From funny edible message boxes to brownie stacks and cookie slabs, you can send something thoughtful, cheeky or downright rude - and it’ll still arrive today.

How to Make a Same Day Gift Feel Thoughtful

  • Add a personalised message: Even a few words can change the whole tone.

  • Choose flavour combos they love: Pick their favourite if you know it - or go for variety if you don’t.

  • Opt for surprise elements: Confetti, butterflies, edible images - they turn a gift into a moment.

Most importantly, don’t overthink it. Same day doesn’t have to mean thoughtless - it just means convenient. If it’s something sweet, made fresh, and shows up with a little flair, you’ve already nailed it.

Melbourne makes last-minute gifting way too easy. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, there’s a same day option that can save the day - and still make it look like you had it all sorted.
