Mother's Day is on March 27, 2022, which means you've got plenty of time to decide on the perfect gift for Mum this year.
Instead of the usual bunch of flowers and box of chocolates, why not spoil your mum with a hamper full of unique treats? From afternoon tea hampers to pampering lotions and potions, from gin kits to a tonne of chocolate, there are a variety of hampers available to buy these days to suit every mum's fancy. We've shortlisted our favourite hampers that will get you major brownie points - and no doubt you'll outdo your siblings with one of these presents.
Best Mother's Day Hampers
Retro Sweets Mega Gift Box:
If your mum has a sweet tooth and chocolate just isn't sweet enough, then hit her up with this massive sugar hit hamper, packed with 60 different types of sweets.
Hotel Chocolat The Large Chocolate Hamper
Featuring salted caramel chocolate puddles, salted caramel chocolates, the Everything H-box, a dark chocolate slab, and classic hot chocolate. Delicious.
Green & Black's Ultimate Chocolate Hamper
If your mum really, really, REALLY loves chocolate, then why not spend £100 on her to totally fall in love with this hamper choc-full (ahaha!) of Green & Black's treats.
Mother's Day Afternoon Treats & Flowers
Tick all the Mother's Day boxes with this beautiful hamper, which comes with a gorgeous bunch of flowers too. Includes teabags, Biscakes Lemon Meringue-a-Tang, shortbread, and lemon loaf cake. Free delivery, too.
F&M The Mother's Day Tea Basket
If you're not seeing your mum this year due to lockdown restrictions, nothing much can make up for it – but, a fancy hamper will go a long way to making that afternoon a bit more cheery. And what better than an iconic F&M hamper? This one is full of tea, jam, wine, biscuits, and chocolates. Plus, that amazing hamper to keep forever.
Cartwright & Butler With Love Gift Set
Your mum will adore this bundle of love gift set which contains an individual bottle of bubbly and a range of sweet treats.
The Unwind Package
Personalise a box full of lovely stuff all designed to relax and pamper Mum. You can choose from skincare, drinks, stationery, accessories, and more to bring together a wonderful pamper hamper. Don't Buy Her Flowers is a great company designed to free you from the shackles of stereotypical presents, and we love it.
Personalised Candle And Bath Salt Hamper Box
A little hamper with big relaxation points for mum, with a beautifully scented candle (choose from six calming scents) and a pack of bath salts infused with English rose and white geranium.
GlossyBox Beauty Subscription
OK, it's not a hamper, but it is a box of loveliness; she probably doesn't treat herself to new cosmetics very often these days, but a beauty box subscription means she gets new pampering products every month – this box comes with five products – the February box was worth more than £95. You can choose a rolling subscription or to pay monthly. Find more beauty boxes in our feature on the Best Beauty Subscription Boxes here.
Grape & Fig The Cheese Box of Joy
Another one where I'm stretching 'hamper' to mean 'box of greatness'. Not just delicious but also beautiful – Grape & Fig offer a range of luxurious platters but this one ticks our cheese-loving box. The box feeds two, with three pieces of cheese (usually brie, stilton and goats but can vary), cured meats, antipasti, sweet potato pakora, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, garnishes, pure British honeycomb, crackers and chutney. Divine.
Hotel Chocolat Happy Mother's Day Sleekster, 355g
A present a mum, step mum, gran or like-a-mum will love. This collection of 27 of Hotel Chocolat's lovely filled chocolates will be a decadent treat - from caramels to pralines, tipsy truffles to patisserie.
Bearing Gifts Hamper
This hamper holds a host of treats. It includes dessert chocolates, salted caramel popcorn, lemon biscuits, crisps, black pepper crackers, salted caramel gourmet marshmallows, breakfast coffee, afternoon blend tea and much more - perfect for foodies. It does come in a cardboard box, though, not a hamper.
The Indulgence Box
Want an eco-friendly hamper? We've just found out about Sustainabox, which is as environmentally-friendly as they come. You can choose specific sustainable products to include in your box, such as Sea Change wines, which "funds ocean conservation projects across the globe for each bottle purchased", and Toast Ales, which "uses surplus fresh bread to brew their beers and donates all profits to charities fixing the food system". The box comes with seeds for you to plant, and you're encouraged to also plant the box to boost soil nutrients. And, if that wasn't enough, the company plants a tree for every box you purchase. All this, on top of a wonderful selection of scrumptious treats.
Botanicals Hamper For Your Face
Filled with luxurious facial skincare, this hamper is a real treat. It features cleanser, toner, cream, body oil, and two soaps. A beautiful gift for someone who deserves a good pampering sesh (and that someone is definitely your mum).
Gin Gift Set - Flavoured Gin and Tonic Gift Set
If you have a gin connoisseur in your life, they will absolutely love this set of mini gins with Gordon's Pink gin, Edinburgh Rhubarb & Ginger Gin Liqueur, Tanqueray London Dry Gin and Beefeater Blood Orange Gin.

Send your mum a little bit of paradise with The White Company Seychelles Hamper. This luxury gift features Seychelles Eau de Toilette, Seychelles Bath & Shower Gel, Seychelles Body Lotion, Seychelles Home Spray, Seychelles Diffuser and the beautiful hamper box.

Yum.
