Family-owned in Canberra since 2004

Gifting has always been personal to us.

For more than 20 years, we have helped people send thoughtful gifts for life’s celebrations, milestones and difficult moments.
Whether it is one hamper or a large corporate order, every gift is prepared with care and the understanding that it represents you.

Our story

A Canberra family business, built one gift at a time.

Gourmet by Design began in 2004 with a simple idea: bring together quality food, considered presentation and genuinely helpful service.

More than two decades later, those same things still guide us. From our Canberra premises, our family and team curate, prepare and deliver gifts for individuals, families and businesses across the country.

Some customers know exactly what they want. Others come to us with little more than an occasion and a budget. Our role is to make the process feel easy—and to create something the recipient will be genuinely pleased to receive.

We may have grown, but we still believe good service means being accessible, listening properly and taking responsibility for the details.

"It's not often you can order something online, call because you've made a mistake with the delivery date, speak to a real person and have it all sorted so easily."

– Susan O

More Than a Hamper Company

Some of our most memorable products are made right here.

Alongside carefully selected Canberra and Australian products, we produce our own range of confectionery and chocolate in-house.
Traditional methods, quality ingredients and a focus on flavour give our hampers something distinctive—products created by the same people who choose and pack the finished gift.
Made in our Canberra Kitchen

What matters to us

The care is in the details.

A hamper is more than a collection of products. It is a message from one person to another, and every part of the experience matters.

01

Thoughtful selection

Products are chosen for flavour, quality and how well they belong together—not simply to fill a box.

02

Considered presentation

Every hamper is arranged carefully, finished by hand and designed to feel generous from the moment it is opened.

03

Genuine customer care

Real people are here to help, solve problems and make sure your gift arrives as you intended.

From us to them

Local enough to care. Equipped to deliver.
Our own delivery team handles local Canberra orders, giving us greater control and the ability to offer same-day delivery when timing matters.
For gifts travelling further, each order is reviewed and packed for the journey before being sent through trusted delivery partners across Australia.

Ready when you are
