Types of dietary supplementation

On TheGifty you will see small coloured tags on product cards and in gift descriptions. They are designed to help you quickly understand key dietary and handling information for each gift, especially when you are shopping for someone with specific needs.

Colour tags and what they mean

Each store on our marketplace can use colour tags to highlight important features of their gifts. For example, you may see:

  • A colour indicating dietary preference (for example, vegan, vegetarian or plant based options).
  • A colour for common allergens (such as may contain nuts, gluten free, dairy free or egg free).
  • A colour for special formulations or supplements (for example, added vitamins, herbal support, high protein or collagen).
  • A colour for storage and handling (such as keep refrigerated after opening or best kept in a cool, dry place).

The exact legend, which colour stands for what, is provided by each seller in their product description. Please always read the full description and ingredient list carefully, especially if the gift is for someone with allergies or specific dietary requirements.

Chocolate gifts and cool packs

Many of the beautiful gifts on TheGifty include premium chocolate and other heat sensitive treats. Because we are based in Australia and temperatures can be high, many of our sellers:

  • Use insulated packaging and cool packs (ice packs) for chocolate products and other sensitive items, especially during warmer months or when shipping to hotter regions.
  • Clearly indicate in the description when a gift is temperature sensitive, so you know that it should not be left outside for a long time.
  • May offer express shipping options for chocolate or perishable gifts to help them arrive in the best possible condition.

Even when ice packs are used, we recommend choosing a delivery address where someone can receive the parcel promptly, for example a workplace or an address where someone is home during the day. This helps protect chocolate and other delicate products from heat.

Important notes

  • TheGifty is a marketplace: each seller is responsible for providing accurate ingredient, allergen and storage information for their products.
  • Colour tags are a quick visual guide only. They do not replace reading the full description, checking the label or, if needed, asking the seller for more details.
  • If the recipient has medical conditions, takes medication or has serious allergies, please consult a qualified health professional before using any dietary supplements or consuming functional products.

Our goal is to make it easier for you to choose thoughtful, safe and clearly labelled gifts, from colourful wellness boxes to indulgent chocolate hampers with the right cooling support for Australian conditions.
