Mother’s Day is just around the corner (14 March in case you need to jot it in the diary), and a hamper is always an easy yet indulgent way to treat your mum or the mother figure in your life.
The best Mother’s Day hampers come in all shapes and sizes, from blow-the-budget gorgeousness at Fortnum and Mason to thoughtful, personalised treats at Not on the High Street.
And, while chocolates and biscuits are always a safe and sumptuous bet, Mother’s Day hampers can also be about pampering bath and beauty products, courtesy of the likes of Cowshed (if you’re pushing the boat out) and Sanctuary Spa (luxe for less).
We’ve rounded up the best Mother’s Day hampers below, including all sorts of treats from macaroons and mugs to flowers and fancy popcorn.
Time to say thank you for all those times she’s cleared up after you (too many to count then, right?).
