How to spoil mum: a British Hamper guide for every type of mum.

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, are you wondering how you’re going to spoil your mum, or mother figure, this year?

Mother’s Day is the day we wish to show extra special appreciation for our mums. We want to express our gratitude and make her feel valued and loved. Of course, kind words can convey this, but gifts have the power of reinforcing our feelings and act as constant reminders.

If you’re looking for gift ideas for Mother’s Day, may we suggest a hamper?

So, a few hamper suggestions for celebrating Mother’s Day:

1. The ‘sweet-toothed mum’

Chocolates and Mother’s Day go hand in hand, don’t they?! If your mum’s a sweet-toothed kind of gal, we have plenty of sweet hampers to choose from.

The Artisan Chocolate Selection gift box is perfect for the chocaholic mum.

A selection of chocolate treats, handcrafted by our skilled and passionate British chocolatiers, this hamper is just divine. Heavenly chocolate dipped almonds, light and crunchy honeycomb, smooth, silky and rich drinking chocolate and more, all beautifully packed and presented.

If chocolate’s not her thing we have the fun Tuck Box hamper. Sweet n salty popcorn, melt-in-your-mouth fudge, buttery shortbread, and more can be found in this gift box.

Indulge her sweet tooth.

2. The ‘gourmet mum’

Now if your mum’s a ‘gourmet’ type, we have a range of hampers just right for her.

Try the British Cheese Gift hamper:

Two Lincolnshire cheeses paired with red marmalade, rich cheddar biscuits from Suffolk and more.

Or treat her to the aptly named Gourmet Food and Wine hamper:

A rich selection of red and white wines from Portugal, spicy mixed nuts, hand-cooked gourmet crisps, sweet treats and more.

Or perhaps she’s fond of a scone and a slice of cake for breakfast – after all it’s HER day!

All our gifts for Mother’s Day are carefully hand packed and beautifully presented and include a gift card with your own message.

A hamper for Mother’s Day is a considerate (and exciting!) gift. Full of indulgent treats that you’ve taken time to select, your thoughtfulness will be very much appreciated and, best of all,  she’ll feel thoroughly spoilt!
