Personalised 40th Birthday Gifts That Make It Personal

If ever there were a moment to go bespoke, it’s now. Our personalised birthday gifts allow you to add names, milestone numbers or inside jokes – all piped by hand in royal icing, not printed by machine. Whether it's “Fabulous at 40” or their nickname from university, these are biscuits that whisper, shout and giggle with love. It’s gifting with a wink, a memory, and a touch of butter.

Funny, Fabulous, and Fully Iced

You can’t give them their twenties back, but you can give them something they'll actually want to open. Our hand-iced biscuits bring together humour, artistry and proper patisserie. Think birthday cakes in biscuit form, cocktail-themed tins with attitude, or boxes of joy disguised as baked goods. They're funny birthday gifts that still feel utterly refined — like a comedy show with a velvet curtain and good wine.
