Homemade Valentine’s Day Hamper Ideas

Valentine’s day, the most romantic day of the year. Occasionally it requires a lot of thought, do they want something big, something small or something extravagant? There are lots of ideas that you can bring to the table, which are thoughtful and memorable but have you ever thought about creating a Valentine’s hamper? If you’ve ever received a hamper yourself, you’ll know how wonderful it feels to receive a basket full of your favourite things and it’ll be one of those gifts that you remember for a lifetime.

Perhaps they have a favourite type of chocolate, a favourite type of tipple or a favourite type of biscuit that they would never find in a pre-made hamper. Plus, you can make these gifts extra special by adding scattered love hearts, personal notes or little chocolates amongst all of their gifts. Not to mention that hampers are the gift that keep on giving because once you’ve finished enjoying all the treats inside, you are left with a beautiful and timeless storage piece that you can use for storage, a décor accessory, or perhaps you would like to re-gift it to someone else.

To create your Valentine’s hamper all you need is wicker hamper basket, a touch of paper shred, complete with a romantic gift bow, a gift tag and their favourite treats to make it perfect for them.

Still stuck? Let’s give you some help.

(Please note, our baskets are provided empty, the products shown in the image are for display purposes only)

Valentine’s Day Chocolate Gift Hamper

Are they a chocolate fan? Let’s face it, it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without chocolate. So why not choose a selection of their favourite chocolates, along with a rose, truffles, some hot chocolate, marshmallows and a bottle of red wine to go in a Valentine’s Red Rope Paper Hamper Tray. Perfect for the one that has a sweet tooth.

Cheesy Valentine’s Day Hampers

Of course, by cheesy, we don’t mean over the top but instead a divine selection of cheese that your loved one can enjoy with crackers, a selection of biscuits and chutneys. Choose the classic brie, wensleydale, cheddar and blue cheese with a beautifully paired miniature bottle of wine for this classic treat.

If your loved one isn’t a fan of typical Valentine’s colour palette of crimson reds and blushing pinks, choose a rustic wicker hamper such as a Grey & Buff Rattan Wicker Hamper Basket, complete with Natural Shred and a Kraft Raffia Gift Bow for this charming hamper.  

A Pamper Valentine’s Day Hamper

A gift for the one who loves a little indulgence. Create a hamper with spa treats, so that they can enjoy some relaxing treatments at home. Choose Himalayan bath salts, luxury bath soak and a face and hair mask for a really lovely spa afternoon spent at home. Don’t forget to complete this hamper with a mini bottle of their favourite tipple that they can enjoy before, during or after their bath! The perfect gift for the pampered one.

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Him

Don’t forget the beer lover who only prefers the small gestures on Valentine’s Day. Why not fill up a Rustic Wicker Beer Crate with their favourite beers and ciders. Not to mention that this thoughtful gift also makes for a great storage solution. Perfect for keeping bottles off the kitchen side and away in the garage for when they can enjoy them next.

Finally, the most thoughtful and romantic hamper of all time…

A Valentine’s Day Proposal Hamper         

If you are thinking of proposing on Valentine’s Day, perhaps you’re looking at a unique way of popping the question, other than the traditional way, why not make up a hamper with our Whitewash Wooden Vintage Heart Style Tray and fill it with all of their favourite things and then cleverly place their engagement ring in the middle of the hamper, surrounded by a bottle of perfume with a beautiful scent, such as Coco Chanel Mademoiselle, a personalised bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, roses and a framed photo. Don’t forget to scatter some rose petals for the ultimate touch for Valentine’s Day. Come to think of it, this would also make the perfect anniversary hamper as well.

That’s just the beginning of our beautiful range of hamper baskets and accessories. Browse our selection of hamper baskets and gift accessories here and choose your favourite. Remember, the selection inside doesn’t have to be extravagant. Whatever you decide to fill it with, as long as it’s personal to them, they will love it.

Another tip from us: choose from our range of gift bows, gift tags and shredded paper to make the hamper EVEN more personal. Why not narrow it down to their favourite colour? You can view our hamper kit accessories here.
