Birthdays are a joyous occasion full of laughter and fun and what is more important than making your partner's day by buying them the perfect gift/s. Gift buying for your partner can be a hard task, especially if you have been together for a while or are starting a new relationship. This is why we have a great partner’s gift guide to help you out! Hobbyco has a gift for everyone with 1000’s and 1000’s of products across numerous categories.

Model Kits

Model kits are perfect for those that like to build! We have a variety of model kits including different sizes and types, whether it’s a plane, tank, aircraft, ship, a battle scene, car or truck. We have a model kit for everyone! You can buy something to suit your partner's preferred interest. We even have Sci-Fi and SuperHero themed model kits. A great thing about model kits is you can extend the hours of fun through painting and detailing your model. If your partner hasn’t done modelling before or is looking to get back into modelling, then we recommend our huge range of starter sets!

Gundam/Gunpla

Does your partner love Gundam? Do they think Japanese robots look awesome? Then Gunpla (Gundam plastic kits) is the perfect gift choice. With a massive selection of Gunpla at Hobbyco, we have something for all builders. We have a variety of difficulty levels starting from the easiest ‘SD’ all the way to Master and Perfect Grade. SD and High Grade kits are a great starting point for beginners. To create their build, they will need some essential tools. In addition, Gunpla is a great hobby that can be extended upon with various armour and weapon packages, plus paint, markers and more.

Anime

We have a variety of Anime products including Demon Slayer, One Piece Dragon Ball Z and loads more. Hobbyco has Anime figures for every fan, Anime figures make a great display in your home or on your desk at work. Anime Figures will allow your partner to relive their favourite series.Show that you care about their interests and the shows they watch. Why not surprise them with an Anime gift on their birthday?

Games

Games are a great gift if you want to spend more time with your partner and your family. Games are also a great idea for dinner parties; they break the ice and provide plenty of talking points, plus they are loads of fun. Games can create long lasting memories away from their screens. When selecting a game, be mindful of your partner, friends and your family members personality, as more introverted people generally won’t like a game of Charades.

Don't exclude anyone. Remember to consider the size of your family unit or friendship group before purchasing a game. Choose a game suitable to the number of people playing.

Model Trains

Does your partner love trains? Did they have a train set growing up? Do they want to extend and improve their railway experience? Train Modelling is an awesome hobby. Hobbyco has plenty of train sets, tracks, scenery supplies, carriages and locomotives to choose from. We have everything a train lover could ask for. Make them glad that they choo- choo- choose you as their partner by buying them a railway gift (excuse the pun!). With a huge variety of brands including Hornby and Peco, it’s hard to go wrong!

LEGO

Building LEGO is a great hobby for all ages. Are they a musician, a car enthusiast, a superhero fan, a muggle, Mario lover, a Jedi Master or an architecture fanatic? With a huge range of products at Hobbyco, we have LEGO sets for everyone! Research shows that 91% of adults feel better after building LEGO whilst 86% feel more relaxed (Source). Flowers are also a great birthday present, however they don’t last forever. Do you know what lasts forever? LEGO does! LEGO flowers don’t die and will never need any watering. Check out our LEGO botanical range. LEGO is the ultimate gift that you can’t go wrong with. Everyone loves LEGO!

Puzzles

Puzzles can be an emotional gift as you can show that you care through a theme. Reminisce on a place where you and your partner travel to or hope to travel to in the future with landmark puzzles. We have DC puzzles for the superhero fans and we have plenty of puzzles for those who are more into cute and colourful things. We even have 3D puzzles. How cool and unique! You can make your puzzle last forever with conserve glue. We recommend using a mat or puzzle board to help them tidy up easier and to keep their puzzle safe.

RC

Are they into fast cars and 4WDs? An RC Truck is a great present for those who love racing. Our RC truck range has different levels of speeds topped out at 60km/h! There’s an option to build your own RC with the Tamiya range. Just don’t forget to buy more battery packs for your partner so they can spend more time racing. You can also get them an RC tank. How cool, right! If flying is more to their liking, think more along the lines of rockets, drones or helicopters. We have a large variety of RC trucks, cars, tanks, helicopters and drones. You cannot go wrong with an RC Hobby.

Hobby Supplies

Is your partner looking to extend or upgrade their hobby? We have a variety of paints, paint brushes, glues, cement, scenery supplies, air guns, tools, decals, stands, sand paper, markers and supply material. We have just what they need. However, it might be tricky to decide what to get if you aren’t 100% sure exactly what they want. We would recommend a Hobbyco gift card so your partner can purchase exactly what they want and need.

Diecast Models

No matter what your partner collects, there is always a story behind the item. Collecting often leads to learning things that never even make it to the history books. This is why a collector's item is a great birthday gift as the present may have a meaningful or interesting story behind it, making the gift more special and unique. We have a huge range of Diecast Planes including our RAAF collection. These models make for a great display at their desk or in their home.

We would all love to buy our partner every hobby in the world but unfortunately most of us have a budget. This is why we have a pricing filter on our website so you can buy a birthday present that they will love at a price that won’t break the bank.

Leaving the birthday present to the last minute?

We recommend purchasing big ticket items to save you time shopping such as LEGO, Train sets, Diecast, RC trucks, large model kits or even a spray gun. Buying items that come in a box shape are much easier to wrap making the gift wrapping look so much better plus it will save you time. In-store we offer large bags that can be used as a gift bag to make the gifting process even easier.

Still can’t decide?

Gift Cards

Gift cards can be portrayed as a present that someone hasn’t put much thought or effort into purchasing. However, the Hobbyco gift isn't just a generic gift card. By buying a Hobbyco gift card, you can show your partner that you care as they are able to purchase a unique gift that’s personal and caters to their hobbies.

Club Membership

You could also purchase them the gift that keeps on giving. A Hobbyco Club Membership gives them 10% OFF forever. That’s right! Your hearing correctly. 10% OFF forever! (T&C’s Apply).
