Mark your calendars: Mother’s Day is fast-approaching, this year falling on Sunday, 30th March. That means you’re quickly running out of time to track down the best gift hampers — and more generally, the best gifts for mums (or mother-in-laws) — to not-so-subtly show your love and appreciation.
Previously, we might have opted for a box of chocolates or flowers — but why not break the tradition of a lifetime and properly spoil your motherly figure, grandma, step-mum, pregnant partner or best friend? And to save you the effort of picking, packing and wrapping a gift, we — GLAMOUR’s shopping editors — have whittled down the best gift hampers to send and receive on Mothering Sunday.
But what we love most about a gift hamper is that it looks like it took way more effort than it actually took. Plus, they often help you save some all-important pennies, too. So, whether you settle on a selection of sweet-and-savoury snacks, viral beauty gifts or must-have home accessories — say, a dopamine-boosting NEOM reed diffuser — a pre-made bundle is your answer to low-stress and low-risk gifting. After all, who’s going to turn down a decadent bundle of joy?
Below, you’ll also find luxury hampers filled with sleep aids, scented candles, afternoon tea and even an entire cheese board. So whether you’re on the hunt for a suitable Mother’s Day gift hamper or rather a Father’s Day gift for your dad ahead of his dedicated day in June, GLAMOUR has you covered.

How we chose the best gift hampers:
It’s a hard job, eating and drinking our way through multiple edible hampers before heading home for a lengthy pamper session to road-test the best beauty and haircare gift sets on the market. But in all seriousness, every hamper in this edit has been in the hands of one (if not more) GLAMOUR writers and editors who were asked to consider various factors: product quality, quantity, presentation, price, value for money and, of course, the aesthetics.
