Flexible, no lock-in plans

How often should we handle dinner?

Primarily plant-based with the occasional inclusion of meat.

I mix it up. Meat, veg, and everything in between.

I'm hooked on seafood and fresh ocean flavours.

I skip the meat and fish but never the flavour.

Pick the closest match for now. You'll tailor your tastes next and can tweak anything later.

Don't see the perfect fit?

We'll do our best to hide recipes that include these, but some may still include them. Check each before you buy.

Redeem a gift card

Do I have to receive my box immediately after I redeem my gift?

Your gift card recipient will receive an email on the specific day that you indicate. This email will contain step-by-step instructions on how to redeem the gift card. If you chose to print the gift card at home, it’s up to you to hand them their gift!

When will the person I am sending a gift card to receive it?

Nope! The gift card recipient does not have to have a HelloFresh subscription in order to redeem. If you are purchasing a gift card, we only ask you to log in or create an account so we can send you an order confirmation, but this will not result in a subscription.

Do I have to have a HelloFresh subscription to purchase or redeem a gift card?

We don’t yet support buying multiple cards on the same order but you can go through the purchasing process several times without having to create a new account.

Can I purchase more than one gift card?

Yes, you will receive an email confirmation after purchasing a gift card. If you picked the ‘Print at Home’ option, this email will also include a printable card for you to download and give to the recipient. If the recipient(s) do not receive the email confirmation, we suggest they check their spam folders.

Will I receive an email confirmation for my gift card purchase(s)?

Unfortunately, we do not support this yet.

Can I buy a gift for someone who lives in a different country?

All of them! As long as the value is covered by your gift card you will not be charged. If you select recipes that exceed the value of your gift, you will be charged the difference. The value of each recipe is indicated on the Meal Selection page.

Which recipes can I choose from if I have a gift card?

If you have credit left on your account, it will automatically apply to your next delivery(ies) when you start a weekly subscription. Don’t worry, you can stop the subscription at any time! Go to Our Plans, select plan preferences, and complete checkout. The credit left from your gift will automatically be applied.
