The Birthday Gift to Send in Manila (Beyond Cake & Flowers)

The Birthday Gift to Send in Manila (Beyond Cake & Flowers)

For a birthday in Metro Manila, send something that outlasts the day itself. Cake commits them to one sitting; flowers are gone by the weekend. A box of gelato becomes a week of small celebrations — and it arrives boxed and frozen, same-day, with your printed message included. On a four-tub box, the delivery and the gift box are on us.

Why it's the better regalo

A birthday gift should feel like you thought about them. Four flavors let you build the box around the person — their childhood chocolate, their grown-up coffee, the fruit sorbetto they'd never buy themselves — pre-made or your own pick of four. Add a printed note and it lands as a proper regalo, not a last-minute scramble. And because standard same-day delivery is on us on four-tub orders, you can pull it off even when you remembered at 2 PM — whether it's headed to San Lorenzo Village, Corinthian Gardens, or anywhere across Metro Manila. Order by 3 PM for the 5–7 PM window; if you need it sooner, paid Instant and Priority are there.

"My favorite mix-up: a birthday recipient who won't confirm our dispatch message — privacy, totally fair — until we share the sender's first name, with permission. After that, it's all smiles. And we fuss over one small thing every single order: the printed note is never missed. Without a storefront, the box is the brand — so we pack it that way, and ask our riders to carry it with the same care. That's how something sent across the city still arrives feeling personal." — Giulia

Make it feel like an event

Add a ribbon (on us, for now) for the bow-moment, and consider a celebratory flavor like Birthday Brownie or our hero Pistacchio Praline Non Dolce. Not sure of their flavors? A gift card lets them choose. Browse bundles or build your own from all flavors; the gifting hub covers the rest. Worried it won't survive the trip? Here's how frozen gelato holds.

FAQ

  • Can I get a birthday gift delivered same-day in Manila? Yes — enter the delivery address at checkout to see the same-day options for that location. Order by 3 PM for standard same-day (arrives 5–7 PM), or choose paid Instant or Priority for faster arrival.
  • Can you include a birthday message? Yes — printed and placed in the box with the gift, on us.
  • What if I don't know their favorite flavor? Recall what they order at a café, choose by the feeling behind your message, or play it safe with the classics — a four-flavor box covers every base.

A birthday gift should last longer than the candles. This one does.
