Top 5 Easter Hampers in Manchester [That Are Bunny Approved!]

  • Selection - We selected shops that offer a good selection of Easter hampers, have a variety of products inside, and accept customisation, to accommodate various needs and requests.
  • Presentation - To make sure your hampers are made for Easter, we prioritised shops that are actually on theme and are well-presented.
  • Availability - We based this on how accessible the shops are to cater to different kinds of schedules. Do they offer delivery or do you have to pick up the hamper yourself?

Easter Sunday usually equals egg hunts for the kids. It’s a nice day to gather with loved ones, but most of the time, it’s only the children who get the Easter baskets.

But this time, you can show your appreciation to the people you care about. It’s rather delightful to give someone a hamper full of goodies that will put a smile on their face—I know I get absolutely thrilled when receiving one!

With options left and right, it’s tough to find the perfect one. Don’t worry, because we hopped all over town with the Easter Bunny to find the best Easter hampers in Manchester, where the items inside will brighten someone’s day!

It’s no secret that Hotel Chocolat makes incredible hampers. I mean, they’re a popular chocolate manufacturer that makes rich and delicious treats!

Their Easter hampers are actually on brand and on theme—made with chocolate eggs and bunny-shaped products that are poshly presented! If we’re talking about designs, they get an A because their hampers can grab attention.

And whether you choose the small or big hamper, you still get a generous selection of products. We love that they come in different chocolate flavours, so eating them won’t feel too repetitive in taste.

Here’s the catch: they’re on the dear side, reaching over £50 for a small hamper. But you can add a free message, and you do get quality chocolates.

We’re a sucker for shops that make delivery easy. They offer standard, next-day, and Saturday deliveries, as well as click and collect if you prefer picking it up, although it’s only free for orders of £20 and up.

Pros

  • High-quality chocolates
  • Sophisticated presentation
  • Good selection of products
  • Offers next-day and Saturday deliveries

Cons

  • Expensive prices
  • Click and collect isn’t free

When we’re talking about hampers, EZ Hampers always come to mind. They only sell hampers, actually, so you know there’s a good selection here, from everyday luxuries to special occasions.

It’s always thrilling to find different kinds of hampers, which you’ll see at this shop. There are hampers for kids and adults, all nicely presented with chocolate eggs and bunny-shaped items!

They’ve got customisation all sorted out, too! They accommodate ALL dietary requirements and religious needs, as well as personalisation for businesses (like putting a logo!).

However, depending on the demand, some of the included items may be substituted for something else. It’s a bit unfortunate, considering that’s not what you originally bought.

It should be mentioned that they’re sustainability advocates, and they use biodegradable packaging. Their goal is to completely cut out plastic by 2027—brilliant!

It’s worth noting that almost everything is affordable here, including delivery, because they offer free postage. You’ll easily find hampers under £50!

Pros

  • Loads of options
  • Accommodates dietary and religious needs
  • Uses biodegradable packaging
  • Affordable options
  • Offers free postage

Cons

  • Some items may be substituted

Always a delight to visit

“EZ Hampers is always a delight to visit! The staff are very friendly and always willing to answer any questions about their products. I’ve received a few gift hampers from Lisa before and each one has always been a hit! Especially when I’ve been buying gifts for friends and family with allergies or certain dietary needs”

One of the most well-known chocolates is Lindt, and you can get an Easter hamper from their chocolate shop in Arndale Centre. Their hampers haven’t let us down, as we’ve bought some for friends who were happy to receive them!

As a chocolate brand, it’s natural that you’ll receive Lindt chocolates only. That doesn’t make their selection limited, though, since they offer an assortment of flavours, like milk chocolate and caramel.

And yes, these are presented very nicely. They’re very on brand, and of course, their Easter hampers include their famous gold bunny.

But all these come with an expensive price. A 160g pack already costs over £8, and larger hampers will cost more. It’s also a bummer that their hampers lack customisation options, since they’re pre-packed.

On the plus side, their Easter hampers are easily available online and in shops, and by that, we mean everywhere. You’ll most likely see them in your corner shop, and they offer delivery.

Pros

  • Well-known brand
  • Offers an assortment of flavours
  • Nicely presented
  • Available almost everywhere

Cons

  • Prices are on the steep side
  • No customisation options

Most excellent customer experience

“Received the most excellent customer experience when greeted into the store this afternoon by Halina and her colleague, Imogen. Halina asked all the right questions in order to gain a clear understanding of my wants and needs and proceeded to recommend a selection which seemed just perfect. Throughout, she was enthusiastic and engaging, which was a refreshing change from some previous retail experiences earlier today. The store was clean and tidy and, overall, I just felt that it was a wonderful and rare experience that deserved to be acknowledged.”

Michael Howell, Google Review

Fantastic shop

“Fantastic shop! The staff were really helpful, very friendly and went above and beyond to help me with my purchases! The shop was incredibly clean and tidy. Plenty of choice from. A chocolate lover would enjoh this shop. I love the pick and mix and the selection of bunnies and Easter products. Ill definitely be visiting again”

Slattery knows how to make good hampers. In fact, we’ve received these delicious treats ourselves, and it was a hit.

They’re a patisserie, so a visit there will end on a delicious note. They bring all that delectability to their hampers, which come in a variety of options, including small chocolate boxes and an assortment of drink and food goodies.

On Easter, their hampers don’t disappoint, in presentation and in taste. It was thrilling to see handmade chocolates and personal messages—yes, their chocolates are handmade, so you’re getting something unique, like a rooster-shaped chocolate!

Plus, they offer build-your-own hampers. You can even toss in a personalised chocolate bar in there!

Delivery is fairly quick! They dispatch most orders on the same day, as long as they receive them by noon, but you can always pop in the shop for last-minute purchases, just skip rush hours for parking since there aren’t a lot of spaces.

Pros

  • Chocolates are handmade
  • Great presentation
  • Build-your-own is available
  • Quick deliveries

Cons

  • Limited parking

Lots of variety

“Chocolate heaven with an amazing menu to satisfy the most hard core chocoholics. Lots of variety. The Welsh Rarebit being a clear winner for me. The staff are uber efficient, polite and dressed immaculately. Cleanliness of the highest standard. A shop full of delicious goodies.”

Marie, Google Review

Recommended for chocoholics

“I felt like a child in a toffee shop didn’t know what to get everything looked so good the cakes we got were delicious and the hot chocolate was well worth the money they even coat the inside of the cup with melted chocolate so yummy definitely recommend any cake or chocoholics to go.”

Like what their name suggests, Regency Hampers is all about hampers. They have almost everything you can think of, from chocolates to cheeses!

There are loads of Easter hamper selections. We do love a bit of variety, which is what you’ll see here—there are fruits, chocolates, wines, and a Lindt bunny.

The prices are decent for the items you’ll receive, ranging from around £30 to over £100. Plus, online orders get a 20% discount, so it won’t break the bank!

While we say cheers for the customisation and the free ribbon for the presentation, things aren’t all sweet. Sadly, there were times when the picture didn’t match the order (they substituted items that were out of stock), which was disappointing to say the least.

It’s also a bit of a shame they don’t have a shop to visit. On the plus side, they offer free delivery within the UK, which you can even schedule during checkout!

Pros

  • Sells hampers exclusively
  • Wide variety of options
  • Offers discounts
  • Provides free delivery

Cons

  • Cases of orders being off the mark
  • No physical shop

Really great gift

“I bought a hamper from Regency Hampers as a thank you to my parents for a holiday, they didn’t expect it and were thrilled with the contents. The only issue was my mum then talked me through every item, how it tasted and what they had it with for about 30 minutes over the phone. Really great gift and the hamper itself is lovely.”

George Williams, Google Review

Good quality

“Beautiful hamper with good quality and unusual items. A first class service from their customer help line. I ordered two hampers. I had a problem with the first delivery, but once I contacted the customer service, and provided delivery instructions, the second hamper ( for my neighbour), arrived on time. I will definitely use this company again.”
