Brewquets also specialise in big statement boxes of 12 or 24 beers and ciders with cheery messages in the lid. You can also lean further into the cheeky name with a "long stem" brews box, a romantic length of booze and snacks presented with an elegant red ribbon.

Plus, Dessert Boxes deliver Australia-wide so you can send these beauties to friends in far places.
