A real treat: celebrate with these homemade Mother’s Day hamper ideas

At Eager, we know parents work hard. It’s why we try to make their lives easier with deliveries of delicious, store-anywhere juices. It’s why we ran a campaign that was all about trying to figure out the answer to their problems – well, the juice-related ones, anyway.

And, as juice is the ultimate treat, we want to lean into Mother’s Day with some specially curated Mother’s Day hampers that can cover anything, from breakfast in bed to a cheeky cocktail (or three) in the evening.

So, without further ado, here are some of our favourite hamper ideas for a truly special Mother’s Day.

Ultimate breakfast in bed hamper

Breakfast in bed is a classic Mothers Day go-to. So why not switch it up this year and try preparing a ready made (easier for you 😉) Breakfast Hamper. From pain au chocolats to cinnamon rolls, pastries will pair perfectly with our sweet-but-zesty pink grapefruit juice.

For extra brownie points, you could even make your own jam or marmalade, or add a magazine subscription or paperback for your mum to enjoy with breakfast.

What you’ll need:

• Pastries
• Bread
• Butter
• Jam or marmalade (or both!)
• Eager pink grapefruit juice
• Tea or coffee

Fruity afternoon tea hamper

Jam first or cream first? Who knows? Who cares? All we know is that afternoon tea is a Mother’s Day classic. And it’s even better in fancy have-at-home hamper form.

You can really push the boat out on the tea selection here: think beyond just your everyday English Breakfast. Mint? Green? Jasmine? Maybe, or you could get creative and try making this fruity but sophisticated iced tea. You’ll need some of Eager’s simple but sweet apple juice, Earl Grey tea, ginger ale, fresh lemon juice and ice. Just pour the juice, tea and ice into a jug, stir, top with the ginger ale and serve.

What you’ll need:

• Scones
• Jam
• Clotted cream
• Mini cakes
• Biscuits
• Tea selection (or see iced tea recipe above)

Super simple mimosa hamper

For mums that enjoy their tipple, you can’t go wrong with a mimosa – it’s a real favourite that’s simple to make and always hits the spot. For maximum impact for your mimosa hamper, go big on the glassware. Champagne flutes are the norm, but mix it up with cut glass coupe, or even go personalised. Cheers!

What you’ll need:

• Bottle of champagne or prosecco
• Eager orange juice
• Champagne glasses

And don’t forget the hamper!

Do it yourself hampers come in all shapes and sizes, and are available to buy online. Easy. From wood to wicker, we think these or these would work nicely.

An easy low effort, high impact gift

Gifting someone a handmade hamper is just one more way to make their life easier (and cheaper) – and we think there’s no-one more deserving than your mum.

Whichever hamper you go for, our range of delicious, classic juices will have the right flavour for you. Make sure to share your curated selections with us on Instagram @eagerdrinks!
