2. IMP & MAKER Easter Breakfast Hamper

Best Easter hamper for those who like to start as they mean to go on

Specifications

RRP: £75
Delivery cost: Free delivery on orders over £40

Thoughtfully curated to tickle your tastebuds and guaranteed to have you waking up in a good mood on Easter Sunday! Featuring award winning Alfred Enderby Traditional Sliced Smoked Salmon along with British Blue Eggs, ripe and ready avocado and delicious Myers Honey & Spelt Loaf, this beautiful breakfast is sure to get your Easter off to a good start. Also included are IMP & MAKER egg cups and fresh lemon to garnish, along with a bottle of non-alcoholic Thompson & Scott Naughty Organic Sparkling Chardonnay so you’ll have a clear head for the rest of the weekend’s activities. 

It wouldn't be an Easter food hamper without some chocolate, so there's also a mixed truffle chocolate selection box to top it off. We loved that all the packaging can be recycled, the hamper is full of products that support small businesses and independents and the complementary personalised message makes it perfect for gifting.

3. Ultimate Easter Hamper by Cutter & Squidge

Best fresh Easter Hamper

Specifications

RRP: £199
Delivery cost: From £6.99

When it comes to cakes and all things sweet and moreish, you can't beat a Cutter & Squidge hamper. Full to the brim with fresh and delicious cakes, bakes and chocolate, the Easter hampers by this London-based bakery can't be beaten on flavour or fun presentation. 

The one downside to these hampers is that because the contents is so fresh it only has a shelf life of seven days. It all needs to be consumed as close to the date it is delivered as possible for everyone to enjoy the treats at their best when they are fresh. So only order a hamper of this size if you are having a large family gathering or hosting lots of friends this Easter, otherwise you risk wasting some of the beautifully baked goodness.

4. Wensleydale Creamery Easter gift box

For those who prefer cheese to chocolate

Specifications

RRP: £49.95
Delivery cost: None - Free delivery

Based in Hawes in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Wensleydale Creamery is home to an irresistible selection of award-winning handcrafted cheese, which their team have perfectly paired with a range of accompaniments from local artisan producers.

This delightful Easter gift bag is the perfect treat for friends and family to enjoy as part of your celebrations. Filled with three freshly cut Yorkshire Wensleydale cheeses, local chutney and water biscuits, it's a ready-to-go cheese board with some Cartwright & Butler's Easter treats to finish off. 

Also launching just in time for Easter is the brand's new Gluten Free Hamper, the perfect gift or treat for those who don’t or can’t eat gluten. Enjoy three of the Yorkshire Wensleydale waxed cheese truckles, paired with a specially designed chutney, water crackers and deliciously moreish oat crumbles, making sure there is a gift for everybody this Easter.

5. Fortnum & Mason The Easter Hamper

Best luxury Easter hamper

Specifications

RRP: £140
Delivery cost: £5.95 for Standard (3-5 working days) or £9.95 for Next Working Day and Named Day delivery

With its iconic F&M emblazoned basket, the Fortnum & Mason hamper is the ultimate indulgent gift for any occasion. This isn't the best value Easter hamper on this list, but anything with the F&M branding and their iconic packaging also comes with a premium price tag and for some this is totally worth it to gift a classic hamper from this quintessentially British brand. 

We love the mix of adult and family-friendly flavours and treats in this basket, from pistachio and clotted cream biscuits for the adults with limited edition loose leaf Easter tea, to carrot shaped jelly sweets for the kids.

6. Cadbury Easter Sharing Basket

Most affordable Easter hamper

Specifications

RRP: £35
Delivery cost: £5.95 for standard or £6.95 for Next Day

Cadbury already make some of the best Easter eggs, so when it comes to Easter hamper ideas that will go down a treat with the whole family, this Cadbury basket wins hands down.

It's jam-packed with Cadbury's Easter classics like Creme Eggs, Mini Eggs, Buttons and more—and if you can't get through it all, it's the perfect type of chocolate to use for baking recipes like like our easy but impressive Easter cake ideas.

7. Hotel Chocolat's Classic Cabinet of chocolate

Best Easter hamper alternative for chocoholics

Specifications

RRP: £65
Delivery cost: From £3.95

Hundreds of these quintessentially Hotel Chocolat 'cabinets' are sold every week and for good reason. Brimming with the brand's bestselling, alcohol-free chocolate, it's a real treat and a decadent gift for any occasion. 

Unboxing a Hotel Chocolat cabinet feels truly special and there's something exciting about pulling out a drawer of chocolates to enjoy or offer guests with a flourish. 

Hotel Chocolat do have some specific Easter-themed hampers on their website if that's what you're after, but both the main, online-exclusive hampers, are priced at a premium (prices start at £100). The value for money of these Easter hampers ideas is questionable, with lots of customers calling for more products to be included in the hampers to make the high price tag worthwhile.

8. Easter Tree DIY Kit Hamper

Best Easter hamper idea for crafty creatives

Specifications

RRP: £38
Delivery cost: £3.99

We love this novel Easter tree idea from Biscuiteers which adds a creative and crafty edge to a classic Easter hamper and adds an activity other than eating to the enjoyment of the gift. Inside the kit you get everything you need to create your very own hand-iced biscuits plus gold ribbons to hang them on your Easter tree if you wish. Don't have an Easter Tree? We love the idea of using your hand iced creations as Easter table decor by placing one lemon iced biscuit by each table setting as a sweet treat for guests when they sit down.

9. The White Company Seychelles Hamper

Best non-edible Easter hamper

Specifications

RRP: £120
Delivery cost: Free Standard Delivery (3–5 days) or £7.95 Next day delivery

Consider stepping away from the traditional edible gifts and choose a wellness hamper this Easter instead. 

This beautiful hamper from The White Company is filled with one of their best scented candles, a room diffuser, home spray, hand wash and more. It's basically one of the best spa breaks in the UK wrapped up in a pretty little basket.

This isn't just one for Easter—it's also a useful product to remember when searching for a 40th birthday gift idea or a 50th birthday gift idea, too.
