When you can’t decide what to buy the special lady in your life on Mother’s Day, a hamper ticks all the boxes.
A “little bit of everything” goes a long way, and there are some pretty impressive hampers available online, guaranteed to put a smile on her face. This once ‘old fashioned’ gift has become a cult classic, with all the modern lifestyle brands getting in on the act. And best thing of all, they can be delivered to her door.
From beautifully wrapped boxes filled with the essentials for a pamper session, to pretty pink packages stocked with everything from chocolates to champagne and more, I’ve found the best buys for Mother’s Day 2022.
Seychelles Hamper, £110, The White Company
This is my favourite range at The White Company. Self-care has never been more important and The White Company’s Seychelles Hamper is filled with a variety of calming and nourishing treats. Inside the woven wicker basket, you’ll find a bath & shower gel, body lotion, home spray, diffuser and more, all in the brand’s signature scent which is just sensational.
The Mother’s Day Tea Hamper, £78, Fortnum & Mason
Score major points with Fortnum & Mason’s Mother’s Day Tea Hamper, the ultimate in luxury. This gift set includes the brand’s signature Mother’s Day tea blend, plus buttery Traditional Shortbread Rounds, Pink Marc de Champagne Truffles and a scrumptious scone-ready jar.
A Cosy Night In Gift Box, £50, Marks & Spencer

Following her pamper session, your mum will also be able to tuck into a number of M&S favourites, from Belgian chocolate biscuit pearls to Salted caramel hot chocolate flakes.

Amazon is bringing the spa experience home for £18.95 – an absolute bargain! After exfoliating with the luxury Rose & Shea Butter Vegan Salt Scrub, Mum can kick back with a bottle of bubbly complimented perfectly by delicious pomegranate heart sweets.
Yankee Candle Bouquet, £29.99, Funkyhampers
