Christmas brunch in Oz means it’s all Summer vibes — laid-back, sunshine-filled and instantly puts everyone in a good mood. Maybe it’s the golden glow filtering through the windows, the sound of mates chatting over iced lattes, or the simple joy of digging into delicious food with your favourite people. Whatever it is, Aussie summer brunches just have a special energy. They’re the perfect blend of easygoing, tasty and full of good energy.
Planning a backyard get-together, a beachside brunch picnic, or a long-table feast under the gums? Healthy Hampers has just what you need. With stunning gourmet hampers and clever styling ideas to impress your guests, we’ve sorted the details so you can relax and enjoy the fun.
Now, throw on your sunnies, pour yourself a sparkling juice (or go on, have that mimosa), and get ready to host a brunch that’s pure sunshine and smiles. When the table’s piled high with fresh bites and the laughter’s flowing, you’ll know you’ve nailed the ultimate summer celebration.
Step 1 — Choose Your Brunch Vibe
Before you start setting the table or curating your menu, think about the feel you want your brunch to have.
Are you going for coastal chic, with seashell accents and flowing linen? Or perhaps a boho garden brunch, surrounded by wildflowers and earthy textures? Maybe you’re all about bright, tropical colours — think juicy citrus, coral hues, and pops of turquoise.
Whatever your style, start with a simple theme and build from there. The beauty of a brunch is that it doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to feel welcoming, sunny, and delicious.
Step 2 — Let the Hamper Decide Your Spread
When it comes to creating a spread that wows without hours in the kitchen, a Healthy Hampers gourmet hamper is your secret weapon.
Every one is packed by our team with quality, wholesome products that make entertaining a breeze — all beautifully presented and ready to serve or share. Instead of running around buying ingredients and prepping dishes, you can simply open up a hamper and let the flavours shine.
These are a few of our star hampers that are wonderful on their own. But that doesn’t mean a few delicious extras cannot be paired with them…
The Gourmet Vegan Hamper
Ideal for plant-based guests or anyone who loves fresh, clean flavours. Pair the goodies with —
- Fresh sourdough or croissants from your local bakery
- A platter of seasonal fruit — mango, pineapple, and strawberries look stunning together
- Sparkling water with mint and lime, or a chilled kombucha cocktail
The Gluten-Free Grazing Hamper
Perfect for mixed-diet groups and anyone who loves a good graze. Pair it with —
- Soft cheeses (or dairy-free alternatives) and a drizzle of honey
- A fresh green salad with citrus vinaigrette
- Crisp rosé or a jug of homemade iced tea with lemon slices
The Choc & Treat Hamper
Because no brunch is complete without a touch of sweetness. This hamper is great for dessert or an afternoon treat. Pair it with —
- A platter of sliced fruits for dipping — think bananas, oranges, and berries
- A scoop of coconut yoghurt or vanilla ice cream
- Espresso shots or iced lattes for that final pick-me-up
The beauty of using hampers for brunch is how effortlessly elegant it feels — no fussing over recipes or timers, just great food and even better company.
Step 3 — Style a Table That Feels Like Summer
Now that the food’s sorted, let’s talk about setting the brunch area. Beautiful Summer tables are all about getting good light and a splash of colour all around. You don’t need to go over the top — a few simple styling touches can make all the difference.
Keep it Natural
Choose a simple linen tablecloth or woven placemats to set the tone. Layer with neutral crockery and pops of colour in your napkins or glassware. Add small vases with wildflowers, herbs, or eucalyptus for that fresh, Aussie summer look.
Add a Pop of Sunshine
Bring the sunshine to the table with accents of yellow, orange, and coral. How about lemons in a bowl as centrepieces, or bright serviettes that lift the whole scene?
Make It Edible
Use fresh fruit as décor — bowls of cherries, citrus slices, or pomegranates add natural beauty and double as snacks. You can even freeze edible flowers into ice cubes for your drinks — a simple touch that always impresses!
Go Casual, Not Cluttered
A summer brunch should feel relaxed, not formal. Opt for shared platters, wooden boards, and serve-yourself drink stations. Keep things easy so guests can move around, nibble, and mingle in the sunshine.
Step 4 — Sip, Snack & Soak It All In
Once the table’s set and the food’s out, it’s time to sit back and enjoy the good vibes.
Start the morning with sparkling mocktails or mimosas, then move into iced teas or fresh juices as the day warms up. Encourage guests to help themselves, mix drinks, and try different hamper goodies.
Brunch is meant to be unhurried — a slow, sunny affair where the clock doesn’t matter and every bite feels like a mini celebration. Play some acoustic tunes or light summer beats in the background, let the laughter flow, and savour the simple joys of good food and good friends.
Step 5 — Send a Little Sunshine Home
Prepare a few small Healthy Hampers or mini goodie bags for guests to take home. You could include a selection of healthy treats, a sachet of organic tea, or even a piece of handmade chocolate from one of our hampers.
It’s a thoughtful touch that makes your brunch feel extra special — a little thank you wrapped up in sunshine.
