A mother in Runda is planning her daughter's 4th birthday at a garden venue on a Saturday afternoon. The cake is ordered, the guests are invited, and the big gift is a kitchen set. The question is how to get it there, hidden, and ready for the moment the candles go out.
| On the day in Nairobi | To a home or venue within 3 hours |
|---|---|
| On the day elsewhere | At your courier's office within 24 hours |
| Booking | Send the date and address on WhatsApp |
| Party ages | Third to eighth birthdays |
How do you get the kitchen set to a party venue?
Getting the kitchen set to a party venue starts with a WhatsApp message giving the venue's name, the time of the party and the phone number of an adult who will be there early. In Nairobi the set arrives within 3 hours of your order, so ordering on the morning of the party works for an afternoon celebration.
The adult at the venue can check the set and pay at the door, or you can pay by M-Pesa when it arrives.
What does a party-day timeline look like?
A party-day timeline for the kitchen set works backwards from the moment of the reveal. Order in the morning, receive the set before the guests arrive, hide it, and bring it out after the cake. The table below shows one way to run the day for an afternoon party in Nairobi.
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 9am | Confirm the order and the venue on WhatsApp |
| By 12 noon | The set is delivered to the adult at the venue |
| 12:30pm | Open the box, check the set and fill the pots with play food |
| 1pm | Cover the kitchen with a sheet in a quiet corner |
| After the cake | Pull off the sheet and let the birthday child cook |
How do you make a birthday gift memorable?
- Hide the kitchen under a sheet, a tablecloth or a kanga until after the cake.
- Fill the pots with play food so the kitchen looks ready to use.
- Let the birthday child serve pretend cake to every guest.
- Take a photo of the birthday child at the stove for the family album.
- Write the date and the birthday child's age on a card, and keep it in a cupboard.
That last step turns the kitchen into a keepsake. Each year, you can add a new card beside the first one.
Should the kitchen set go to the party or to home?
The kitchen set can go to the party for a big reveal, or straight home if the venue is far or busy. A party reveal gives the moment an audience and lets the guests play. A home delivery means nothing to carry after the party, and the set is waiting when the birthday child walks in.

How far ahead should I order a kitchen set for a birthday?
Ordering a kitchen set for a birthday a few days ahead gives you the most time. In Nairobi, an order on the morning of the party can still arrive within 3 hours.
Can the kitchen set arrive on a Saturday birthday?
The kitchen set can arrive on a Saturday birthday, because our shop is open on Saturdays from 8:30am to 6:00pm and Nairobi delivery takes up to 3 hours.
What is the best plan for a Sunday birthday?
The best plan for a Sunday birthday is a Saturday delivery, because our shop is open Monday to Saturday. The set waits at home for the big day.
Which birthdays suit the kitchen set as a gift?
The birthdays that suit the kitchen set as a gift run from the third to the eighth, because it is recommended for ages 3 to 8.
Can several guests share one kitchen set as a birthday gift?
Several guests can share one kitchen set as a birthday gift. One person places the order on WhatsApp, and the group settles the cost between themselves.
What can I cover the kitchen set with for the reveal?
A bedsheet, a large tablecloth or a kanga covers the kitchen set well for the reveal. The set is 90 cm high and 79 cm wide, so one large sheet is enough.
Can the kitchen set be a first birthday gift?
The kitchen set is recommended for ages 3 and up, so for a first birthday it is best saved for the third. Our guide to a kitchen set for toddlers explains why.
