Biscuiteers
is an award-winning luxury gifting brand, sometimes described as the
‘NET-A-PORTER of biscuits’. We launched in 2007 with the mission to offer a
more unique, stylish and personalised gifting solution under the banner ‘why
send flowers when you can send Biscuiteers?’ Every single biscuit is lovingly hand
finished and each one is totally individual.
Our
aim is to provide a seamless, joyful experience that delivers a little magic,
one hand-iced biscuit at a time. We’ve grown enormously, particularly in
the last 18 months. In 2023, we hand-iced over 3.0 million biscuits and
delivered them to customers all over the world.
As
well as our eCommerce business, we have two biscuit boutiques, where we offer
‘School of Icing’ events, teaching our customers to ice like an expert, while
they enjoy a cup of tea or coffee…or even a glass of Prosecco. We also work
with a huge range of corporate clients, creating bespoke and branded designs
for every occasion.
