Yahoo News Best Easter hampers of 2020 still available for delivery
The Easter weekend is upon us and this year, it will prove to be an Easter like no other.
Efforts to flatten the curve of coronavirus NHS admissions means that we will have to find new socially distanced ways of celebrating with friends and family over a weekend that’s usually filled with events, lunches and Easter egg hunts.
If you’re celebrating as a household, it also means sourcing your usual Easter fare a little differently. You may not be able to head to the supermarket, but not to worry - there are plenty of all-in-one food hampers that you can have delivered to your door.
Containing everything you need to celebrate in style, many companies offer festive parcels via courier, both in London and beyond.
Then there’s the luxury hampers, filled with gourmet goodies and treats designed to delight both adults and kids in equal measure.
With many of us entering a fourth week of lockdown, a hamper delivery makes a lovely quaran-treat to boost your spirits and help you have a cracking Easter weekend.

F&CO x Colman’s Easter Essentials Lamb Box
Condiment kings Colman’s and online butcher of the year, Farmison & Co, have teamed up to deliver all of the essentials needed to make a delicious Easter-themed Sunday lunch.
The food parcels include half a leg of grass-fed British lamb (1kg) as well as all the trimmings: think fresh green cabbage, potatoes, chicks in blankets, a festive Hot Cross Bun flavoured stuffing and pots of Colman’s iconic mint sauce plus classic English mustard from the brand too.
In all, the feast is enough to feed five people for lunch (with plenty of leftovers too, we'd imagine) and is available to order online until April 11. NHS staff can get 25 per cent off orders, see Farmison’s website for more details. This product can only be delivered between 7th April 2020 and 11th April 2020.
M&S Large Luxury Fresh Fruit & Date Selection
If you’re looking for an Easter treat that doesn’t include chocolate, look no further than M&S’s bountiful fresh fruit hamper, which comes with a box of Medjool dates for added sweetness.
There’s enough to feed a small army, with tropical fruit alongside citrus, grapes and nectarines.
Cartwright & Butler Aysgarth Picnic Hamper
Turn your garden or balcony into the ultimate picnic beauty spot with a little help from the folks at Cartwright & Butler. Specifically designed with Easter celebrations in mind, the generous hamper contains all you need to celebrate the season, with savoury cheesey bites to crumbly fudge and sweet biscuits, all to be washed down with quality tea and natural fruit pressés.
Delivered in a gorgeous wicker basket, it would also make a great gift for friends and family that you’re unable to be with this Easter holiday. Available for next working day delivery for £5.95 (UK Mainland).
Whittard Easter Entertainment Gift Box
Get your Easter off to a sweet start with this smart gift box for two. Filled with the brand’s Chocolate Truffle flavour coffee, a chic 3-Cup Cafetière and two SoHo-style elegant glasses, it’s the perfect way to begin the four-day weekend. Available for next day UK delivery for £6.95.
Deliveroo Invisible Easter Egg Hunt
The food delivery service has broken the (chocolate) mould this season. In lieu of a proper Easter hunt, it has launched an ‘invisible’ egg hunt, with regular chocolate for kids and Cointreau for an adults-only treat.
Each option will come with a transparent egg made from gelatine and purified water along with edible decorations and art supplies to encourage chocolate fans young and old to get creative with their Easter egg decorations this weekend. Both eggs will be sold exclusively through the app from Good Friday (April 10) until Easter Sunday on April 12 in Manchester and London and are priced £1.95 for children's eggs and £2.15 for adult eggs.
