The traditional Christmas bonbon is filled with bad dad jokes, a colourful paper hat and one of the following: a tiny mirror compact, a fortune-telling fish, a mini comb or a set of dice. But this year, The Diggers Club has created a bonbon that everyone around the table will actually enjoy pulling.
Featuring seeds from different heirloom vegetable and flower varieties, The Diggers Club’s limited-release Bonbon Collection will make you the dream guest at your next dinner party. Or, if you’ve got a garden lover for your Secret Santa gift exchange, this would be a coveted present.
What’s included in the Heirloom Bonbons?
There are six different bonbon options, and they include heirloom seeds from a specific vegetable or flower. Each bonbon is sold individually and will have a small packet of heirloom seeds in it.
And don’t worry, your bonbon from the Diggers Club still includes the mandatory paper hat and silly joke – it is an Aussie tradition that must be upheld every Christmas!
The paper daisies and zinnia ‘Autumn Sky’ mix are very enticing, but it’s the heirloom vegie mixes (like carrot and silverbeet) that stand out to us as the creme de la creme of Christmas crackers. Imagine pulling open your bonbon at Christmas lunch this year, and serving up home-grown heirloom vegies next year!
Unfortunately, heirloom tomato seeds aren’t included in these bonbons – make sure to add them to your Santa list for next year!

The Heirloom Vegetable Seed gift pack
If you’re a member of The Diggers Club, your Christmas is bound to be extra special this year. Not only do you have a discounted price for the bonbons above, at $7.95, you also have the option to purchase an Heirloom Vegetable Seed box.
It contains 8 packets of Australia’s favourite heirloom seeds, including an heirloom tomato variety (Tommy Toe) and a watermelon variety (Moon & Stars).
If you’ve got a friend or family member who’s always out digging in the garden, then helping them start their vegie patch would be the best gift you could give. Or, buy it for yourself and start your own garden! Then, next Christmas, you can gift a harvest basket of your beans, tomatoes and silverbeet to everyone!
