Best hamper for foodie gardeners

Presented in a smart kraft box, this hamper will please your green-fingered loved ones. As well as treats from The Newt’s own larder, beautifully packaged seeds and a water bottle, there are carefully chosen keepsakes from other brands we love, too: garden snips from Niwaki, useful twines from Nutscene and a storage bag from Garden Trading.

British Hamper Company afternoon tea basket

British Hamper Company afternoon tea basket

Best afternoon tea hamper

This smart hamper from British Hamper Company, delivered in a wicker basket and with every item in signature navy and red packaging, would make a great classic gift for someone with a sweet tooth. There's tins of earl grey and English breakfast tea, a dark and rich fruit cake loaded with nuts and cherries, a jar of strawberry jam and two boxes of biscuits – buttery shortbread or, our favourite, crunchy stem ginger cookies, that are perfect with a cup of tea. It is traditional classics done well for a simple sharing hamper. A personalised gift message can be added to the delivery.

Macknade Ultimate Kent Foodie Hamper

Macknade hamper

Best regional hamper

We love this hamper as a great way of discovering independent, artisan brands. A deep dive into the Kent food scene, there's a wide range of sweet and savoury treats, plus drinks. Highlights for us were the large bottle of Owlet Kent pear juice, the spicy sweet chilli jam and the local lager. It's a great one for sharing as there's something for all tastes, and a lovely way to support local.

Available from:
Macknade (£100)
