If you’re planning a Valentine’s surprise that’s a bit more personal and fun, you’ve come to the right place. At Tastebuds, we adore gifting occasions like this, and our DIY Valentine’s chocolate hampers are one of the most exciting ways to show someone you care. Our hampers are full of premium goodies, you get to pick what goes in them, and we take care of sending them straight to their door with a smile (and a bit of chocolate magic).
What Are DIY Valentine’s Chocolate Hampers?
Think of a DIY hamper as your own creation box — you choose what goes inside based on your recipient’s tastes. Maybe they’re a chocoholic who loves Lindt and Ferrero Rocher, or perhaps they’re into gourmet snacks, wine, prosecco, or even beer and cider. With our range of tasty options, you can build something that’s all heart and all flavour. You can personalise your hamper with chocolates, nibbles, sweets and even a bottle of their favourite drink for a Valentine’s surprise that’s made just for them.
It’s simple to put together –
- Pick your hamper base — from classic snack themes to mixed gourmet selections.
- Add your favourite items from our extensive range.
- Choose extras like a cute message card or a special ribbon to finish it off.
Once you’ve created your hamper, we’ll take care of packaging it beautifully so it arrives looking gorgeous and feeling like a proper celebration.
Where We Deliver
We’re proud to deliver Australia-wide, so whether your giftee is in a capital city or a regional spot, we’ve got you covered. Our network stretches from Melbourne and Sydney to Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, and beyond — all with flexible delivery options to suit how quickly you need the gift there.
Everyorder is handled with care so your bundle of goodies arrives safely and ready to make someone smile. And of course, if you’re ordering from interstate or sending to someone on the other side of the country, that’s no drama — we’ll get it moving and on its way to them.
Delivery Options To Pick From
Here’s how we get your creation from our warehouse to their doorstep:
Same-Day Dispatch
Place your order before our cutoff time (usually around 4 pm local time) and we’ll dispatch it on the same business day. It’s perfect if you’ve had a last-minute idea and want it sent out quickly.
Express Delivery
In selected areas, like Sydney or Perth, you can choose an express option for a small fee. This means your order will be sent the same business day if placed in good time, so Valentine’s Day surprises can still go ahead even if you’re organising things on the go.
Free Standard Shipping AU Wide
For orders that meet the minimum value threshold, we offer free standard delivery across Australia. That’s right — you don’t pay extra for postage if your basket hits the set spend. This option sees your hamper dispatched within 1–2 business days, and then it’s off to your recipient.
Local Same-Day Delivery (Melbourne Metro)
If your gift is destined for metro Melbourne, and the order is placed early enough in the day, we offer same-day delivery right to the doorstep. It’s a great choice if you’re in a rush and want that instant Valentine’s joy.
Keep in mind that delivery times can vary slightly based on rural postcodes or regional service availability, so we recommend popping the postcode into the checkout and checking the best delivery options available at that moment.
