A meal gift card in NZ is the easy, genuinely useful present for almost any occasion. Instead of guessing what someone wants, you give them chef-made frozen dinners to enjoy whenever suits, from The Family Kitchen. Our gift card is delivered digitally, so it is perfect for last-minute gifts, and the recipient simply chooses their own meals, cooked in our MPI-registered Bay of Plenty kitchen and delivered chilled nationwide. New baby, sympathy, corporate thank you or just because, it is the gift of dinner sorted, with no cooking and no fuss.
Why a meal gift card works for any occasion
Flowers fade and hampers get eaten in an afternoon, but a meal gift card turns into real dinners on the nights people need them most. It suits nearly every situation because the recipient chooses exactly what and when.
- New baby: help exhausted new parents eat well without cooking.
- Sympathy: a caring, practical gesture when someone is grieving or unwell.
- Corporate: a thoughtful client or staff thank you that feels personal.
- Thank you and just because: an easy way to show you care.
How the gift card works
It could not be simpler. You buy it online, we send it digitally, and the recipient redeems it whenever they like.
- Choose your amount and buy the gift card online.
- It arrives digitally, ready to forward or print.
- The recipient picks their meals from our ranges.
- Meals are snap-frozen and delivered chilled nationwide.
- No lock-in contracts, so there is nothing to cancel.
Tip: Pairing a gift card with a note about why you chose it makes it feel extra personal. For a hands-on gift instead, our care packages are delivered with your personal message and the meals already chosen.
A gift that fits any diet
Because the recipient chooses their own meals, a gift card sidesteps the guesswork around dietary needs. They can pick from family lunch and dinner meals, kids meals, low carb, keto, low cal, high protein, gluten free and dairy free ranges, whatever fits their life.
