Easter marks the onset of spring, reminding us that warmer days and balmy nights are upon us. From blossom on trees, to daffodils in meadows – there’s nothing quite like the pastel hues that blanket nature.
And what better way to mark this season than with the decadence of luxurious chocolate? While traditional chocolate bunnies with iced names hold magical nostalgia, Easter celebrations have evolved. Now, the ultimate indulgence lies in exploring the world of Easter hampers. From eggs overflowing with rich chocolate to intricately crafted cakes and beyond, we’ve delved deep to uncover the artisans who are truly elevating our Easter experience ensuring that everyone has an egg-cellent day!

Hotel Chocolat Abundantly Easter Hamper, £125
No one seems to make chocolate more exciting that Hotel Chocolat. Whether it’s their iconic Easter sandwiches or their brand-new extra thick eggs that make ordinary eggs seem flimsy – they really are masters of the chocolate world.
With three luxurious hampers to choose from, we love their Abundantly Easter 14-piece hamper that’s full of the joys of spring. It really does include something for every family member – from giant eggs to cutesier mini ‘City-Bunnies’ that are perfect for sharing, little ones will love their ‘tiddly-pots’ with fun characters Elizapeck or Rabbert.
Hotel Chocolat’s packaging makes for an egg-citing gift choice – whether its their truly remarkable monochrome hamper or the beautifully packaged extra-thick eggs, you can’t go wrong.
Cutter and Squidge Family Easter Hamper, £89.99
Possibly the happiest hamper on the planet, what’s so eggs-tra special about Cutter and Squidge is that everything is handcrafted in London. The showstopper for me must be the multi-layer Easter chocolate cake. A rich chocolate sponge sandwiched with oodles of soft pink Stracciatella buttercream and raspberry jam, decorated with crushed mini eggs, rainbow sprinkles and more. The cake alone really does make for the ultimate Easter centre piece that almost looks too good to eat!
The hamper also features more chocolaty delights including a Billionaire Filled Easter Egg with layers of gooey caramel and whipped chocolate ganache, scrumptious New-York style cookies and chocolate bark. You can also opt to add a bottle of prosecco for a delightful pairing.
Due to the nature of the fresh produce some of the items in the hamper have a shorter shelf life but a delivery time is included at checkout – making it swift, easy and oh-so-delicious.
Fortnum and Mason Happy Easter Hamper, £70
There is no basket more iconic that Fortnum and Mason – the basket themselves become décor pieces in the home and for good reason too.
We love their Happy Easter hamper – small but mighty, it’s packed with some of Fortnum’s most delicious seasonal treats – from Easter simnel biscuits to my personal favourite matchbox bunnies. There’s even a raspberry and rhubarb preserve perfect mixed into your morning porridge for an extra zing or melted onto deliciously buttered toast Easter morning.
The basket itself is sure to be loved for years to come and even makes for the perfect handheld basket for collecting the eggs left by the Easter bunny.
For those wanting something more lavish, Fortnum’s of course has the answer – from their spring feast option to their Eggstraordinary hamper, you’re sure to thrill loved ones with this ultimate gift.
