A Gift Guide to Help you Choose Thoughtful Presents for any Occasion
We love the joy that comes with gifting, and the wonderful look of delight and surprise on someone’s face when they receive a thoughtful present. One of the best approaches to ensure gifting success is to understand your recipient’s passion and interests, and gift to it!
At the end of the day, when it comes to family and friends – you know them best, so trust your instincts! Here is some inspiration for you:
THE FOODIE
We all know at least one individual who loves indulging in great cuisine and prizes a delectable dessert or savoury treat very highly (in our case, it’s us!). A hamper curated with foodstuff you think they will love makes a fabulous present at any time of year, especially birthdays and Christmas! The best ones have non-perishable treats with long shelf lives, so they don’t have to eat everything at once.
Suggestions:
Pudding Lady Traditional Hamper
Our bountiful Traditional Hamper is the perfect way to enjoy delicious desserts on any occasion (and gift extra special presents for Christmas time, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and more)!
It is full of delightful surprises; including our Traditional Round Pudding, bursting with rich, vine ripened fruits and superb spices from across the globe (after all, it’s an award-winner for a reason)! All our puddings are wrapped in a traditional cloth and tied with a ribbon for a traditional finish.
There’s also a home-style Christmas Cake, crafted with love (and premium quality ingredients) from a Pudding Lady family recipe.
A bottle of brandy custard sauce to complement and elevate the flavours in these desserts. Also included is a box of Traditional Pudding Cookies for that extra something.

Premium Gift Box
The perfect gift for anyone who adores the traditional taste and nostalgia of home-style, classic desserts.
Texture, taste and tradition combine in our Premium Gift Box, that makes any occasion a special (and delicious) one for the recipient.
The aroma of our award-winning Traditional Pudding tells a tale of what is to come; mouthfuls of vine ripened fruits, dashes of brandy, spices (and more) unite inside a pudding that has been boiled to perfection.
Meanwhile, our baked Christmas Cake offers a scrumptious, mouth-watering and flavoursome dessert – full of rich, dried fruits, citrus, spices, brandy and topped with almonds and cherries.
Add some Brandy Custard as a creamy, delicious finishing touch to these festive, favourite desserts.
Each pudding is lovingly hand wrapped and tied with a ribbon, and the items are beautifully packaged inside our exclusive Pudding Lady gift box.

THE GIFT “FOR ANY OCCASION”
Is there a simple, but lovely gift you can keep on hand for almost any occasion – be that a retirement gift, Mother’s Day gift, get well soon gift, thank you gift or gift for your dinner host? Yes!
Often, for instances like these you can stand out by choosing something a little different that the bearer can enjoy right away, or any time in the future; a present that requires little assembly and effort on their part.
We believe you can never go wrong with a ready-to-go 500g traditional log pudding, and some decadent brandy custard sauce! These two items come in a lovely gift box from The Pudding Lady here.
THE HARD TO BUY FOR PERSON IN YOUR LIFE
For the person who has (almost) everything, or is a little tricky to buy for, gift cards are a fail-safe way to put the beauty of choice back in their hands so they receive a gift they love!
Cash can be a little impersonal for some people or occasions, so a gift card combines effort with variety, and are also a great option for people who may have specific lifestyles such as vegan, gluten free or allergies to certain materials or ingredients!
