‘The Paddy Box’ are today excited to announce the launch of their newest box addition to their brilliantly nostalgic Paddy Box offering, the ‘Birthday Box’ is now available online to purchase. An Irish company, the Paddy Box offers a wide selection of care packages aimed at Irish living abroad who miss home and all of their favourite Irish goodies. The Paddy Box have come to learn that for those Irish living away from home, never is this longing for Irish comforts stronger than on their birthday, and hence ‘The Birthday Box’ was born.

Speaking about this new product launch, Mark Loftus, Founder of the Paddy Box, said;

“One major theme always rings true when we hear from customers, Irish people want to shower their loved ones abroad not only with delicious Irish snacks but with nostalgic memories of home. We’ve also noticed that a large quantity of new orders are coming from family and friends at home here in Ireland, sending boxes to their loved ones living abroad on their birthdays, full of their favourite Irish goodies. So in keeping with our small but mighty movement of delivering grá worldwide, we’ve come up with the Birthday Box”.

“When developing the Birthday Box, we had a long, hard think back to all those childhood birthday parties in Ireland, with sweets everywhere, party hats, laughs, tears and a whole load of TK lemonade”.

The brand-new Birthday box is jam-packed with all of our favourite products that encapsulate the magic of a childhood birthday in Ireland. From the cake, party bag and throwback party sweets, to a quintessentially personalised Irish birthday card. The Birthday box has been carefully designed to both serve both as a great reminder of an Irish Birthday of old, as well as including some thoughtful Irish gifts to help someone celebrate their birthday while away from home. Retailing at €49.95, the Birthday Box includes:

  • A Chocolate fudge Birthday Cake
