If you want to treat your loved ones, or just indulge yourself, an Easter hamper is the perfect way to do it. It’s a beautifully presented, curated option that saves you running around the supermarket – and gives you a smart basket to reuse for storage later. We’re big advocates of sending epicurean goodies as Easter gifts, after all, who wouldn’t be thrilled with a tiny chocolate bunny, a luxury Easter egg or a giant basket full of sweet treats. There are plenty out there, from traditional hampers as well Simnal Cake and delicious dining boxes filled with luxury Easter eggs Roast lamb and all the trimmings. Below, we’ve selected the standout Easter goodies for 2026.
The best Easter hampers
When you think there are obstacles, Fortnum & Mason is the natural place to go. This seasonal selection is delivered in a delightful gift box and contains a lovely balance of chocolates, biscuits, preserves and tea – perfect for Easter morning enjoyment. One for those not worried about fancy chocolate eggs, but instead the hamper will have a wide spread of products.
Easter Little Treat Hamper
For the little ones, Daylesford’s Little Treat Hamper is full of sweet surprises. As well as the delicious taste, the packaging and presentation of Daylesford’s Easter products really sets them apart. Take, for example, the praline chickens, which come in an illustrated cardboard hen house, or the chocolate bird eggs that sit inside a mini egg box. The patterned cardboard boxes that each item comes in can be reused later, perhaps for shoes or knick knacks that need a smart home.
We’re always impressed with the product edits inside The Newt’s hampers, whether it’s a selection of Somerset cheeses or a luxury Christmas hamper. This Easter box has some classic bits like chocolate and iced biscuits, along with some more unusual items from their estate, such as hot cross bun fudge and seasonal seed planting, which is a novel touch.
Harrods’ Easter Spring Hamper is one for lovers of traditional treats. The indulgent set includes English breakfast tea, spiced biscuits, cocoa-dusted almonds, two preserves and chocolate truffles, all packaged in a classic wicker basket.
A chocoholic’s idea of heaven, this hotel chocolate wicker hamper is filled with no fewer than 14 treats, including two of their extra thick eggs, a chocolate bunny and a sweet chocolate lolly in the shape of a fried egg on toast. If chocolate is an overwhelming priority this Easter, this is the bar to go for.
Cartwright and Butler hampers are a fail-safe option for Easter gifts. Inside this delightful tin, you’ll find Cocoa Cream Crispy Wafer Rolls, English Breakfast Tea, Mini Egg Shaped Tin and more. It makes the perfect gift, but we’d rather keep it for ourselves.
Cheese and Chocolate Tasting Basket
For a mix of savory and sweet, we plump for the Snowdonia cheese and chocolate basket. Four Wiley’s Chocolate Bars are chosen to pair with four cheese truffles, but if you’re not into unconventional flavor combinations, they can be enjoyed separately.
What is the best Easter hamper?
When choosing your hamper, consider how, when and who will enjoy the hamper. There are choices for breakfast, afternoon tea options and full blown Easter chocolate hampers. Also think about the people receiving the hamper (even if that person is you). A hamper full of roses might not be the best option for the whole family, but it would be a great luxury hamper to send to your parents.
In our round up we’ve included Easter chocolate hampers and classic springtime food hampers for those looking to stretch the hampers treats into a full weekend. If you’re not looking for a full-on hamper, read on for our favorite chocolate eggs and other goodies available this year.
The best Easter eggs
Sea Salt Caramel Milk Chocolate Easter Egg
The house-made chocolate in The Newt’s sea salt caramel egg is a cut above what you’ll find on any supermarket shelf, yet avoids tipping into the sub-£30 top price point. If you can’t find the salty, creamy and subtly sweet chocolate (made from a blend of golden and dark chocolate), a bar in the same flavor is also included in the box. This is a luxurious egg to enjoy slowly over the Easter weekend if restraint allows.
Thanks to last year’s great Dubai chocolate craze, the availability of pistachio chocolate in both supermarkets and luxury shops has greatly increased. If you haven’t had green chocolate yet, this giant egg from Selfridges is a seriously indulgent delight, combining it with pistachio cremino, white chocolate gianduja and pistachio almond crumble.
Charbonnel and Walker Milk Chocolate Peter Rabbit
An alternative to the classic egg, this adorable chocolate Peter Rabbit from historic chocolatiers Charbonnel et Walker is almost too sweet to eat. Beautifully presented in a box decorated with storybook illustrations, this is a lovely Easter treat to gift to children. His iconic blue coat is hand painted.
Dark Chocolate Easter Egg with Cinder Toffee
A grown-up Easter egg for those who prefer their chocolate on the less sweet side, this farm shop option is made with 62 percent dark chocolate, meaning it’s rich and creamy but avoids the bitter note that some dark chocolates have. It’s scattered with chunks of honeycomb made with their farm shop honey, which adds just the right touch of sweetness.
‘The Ultimate’ Easter Egg
This egg showstopper comes from award-winning chef Adam Handling’s small-batch chocolate shop. The biggest on our list, it’s made from a whopping 750 grams of 70 percent dark chocolate. Between two layers of chocolate is a chunky layer of sea salt caramel and hazelnut praline with caramelized hazelnuts on the inner surface. An Easter egg to taste and share.
