Mother's Day hampers have become a gift idea in their own right, as we've all come to realise that it's a gift hamper mum will adore come Mothering Sunday (which falls on Sunday, FYI). Such is the popularity of a Mother's Day hamper that there's a wide choice of Mother's Day hamper ideas to choose from.
Yes, there's plenty of Mother's Day food hampers and chocolate hampers, but it's those quirkier, more indulgent gift hampers mum will be telling her friends about - from Mother's Day cheese hampers to Mother's Day breakfast hampers, and Mother's Day beauty hampers too.
- The afternoon tea hamper: Fortnum & Mason The Mother's Day Tea Hamper, £85
- The pamper hamper: The White Company Seychelles Hamper, £120
- The cheese hamper: Pong Cheese The Best Mum In The World Gift Box, £44
- The food hamper: Fortnum & Mason The Mother's Day Hamper, £100
- The breakfast hamper: M&S Mother's Day Breakfast In Bed Hamper, £55
As a mum, I can tell you with the upmost authority that I'd be overjoyed to receive a Mother's Day hamper on Sunday (a chocolate one, if you're reading this partner!) There's a range of price points across the gift hampers for mum too, including the more affordable M&S Mother's Day hampers, John Lewis or Bunches hampers, to luxurious hampers from Harvey Nichols, Fortnum & Mason and The White Company. Head to Amazon or Etsy and you'll find cheap Mother's Day hampers under £10, if your budget is on the lower side.
As long as your hamper gift idea for mum is thoughtful, it doesn't matter what you spend.
How I chose the best Mother's Day hampers

- Variety: Yep, a food hamper is great but don't overlook the more niche Mother's Day hampers I've included, from cheese to pink to gardening and breakfast.
- Price: As mentioned, there's a Mother's Day gift hamper idea to suit your budget, whether it's big or small.
