How to make a Father's Day hamper he'll love

Choose what type of hamper to make

First things first it’s time to decide your theme so you can come up with ideas for your hamper. Think about what your dad really loves. If he’s a massive foodie, a food and drink gift box could be just the thing. Or if he’s really into golf, you could do something that’s sports themed. 

If he’s not really into one specific thing feel free to ditch the idea of a theme altogether and just fill your hamper with things you know he’ll like. This is your chance to get creative!

What to put in a Father's Day hamper

For food hampers

Warning: this selection is about to make you feel really hungry. Start by picking what you want to fill your food hamper with. An easy way to approach this is by picking either sweet or savoury. If fancies himself as the next Heston you could even add some more unusual things to the mix like this scotch bonnet and lemon pickling liquid from small brand, Sylt Pickling.

For drink hampers

When it comes to drinks, you’ve got plenty of choice on our marketplace. Find fun non-alcoholic options like this sparkling honey wine and craft beers he’ll happily sip on. Or how about chocolate digestive tea? Brb, just adding it to our basket.

Other items that go well in hampers

The great thing about a hamper is that you can put pretty much anything you want into it. Think about Dad’s favourite things, whether he loves gardening, golf or tiny board games and see what themed presents you can find. Here are some things that could work really well: 

• Socks

• A book

• A bottle opener

• A small board game

• A personalised keyring

• A mug or reusable coffee cup
