From expectant mothers to excited hens, we've found a beauty gift to delight every recipient

Flowers are always a chic move – and certain occasions will always call for a bottle of Champagne – but if you want to really delight a much-loved recipient, a beauty hamper is the way to go.

Today’s best retailers are taking the gift box one step further, creating a host of beauty hampers to suit any situation, from small tokens to seriously grand gestures.

Here, see the hampers we’ll be sending to our most treasured friends this year, from excited hens to expectant mothers, and those that we don’t need an excuse to treat.

The ultimate baby-shower present, Harvey Nichols’ thoughtfully curated hamper contains gifts that’ll see her through both pregnancy and the hazy months that follow. Hatch’s Belly Oil is designed to nourish and condition skin (and help prevent stretch marks) while Barbara Sturm’s gorgeous baby care collection is exactly the kind of thing she wouldn’t buy herself, but will be thrilled to receive.

The White Company’s candles are a completely classic gifting move: there’s no one that doesn’t love the geranium and neroli Spa Restore scent. This chic hamper contains a miniature candle alongside a whole host of pampering treats designed to calm a racing mind and induce a great night’s sleep.

Harvey Nichols has curated a brilliant range of beauty hampers this year, and there’s one to suit every gifting scenario. This one has ‘hen party’ all wrapped up: there’s miniature beauty essentials for both the big night and the morning after, alongside a half bottle of the retailer’s excellent house Champagne.

Anyone in need of a restful night will love Bamford's extravagant hamper. Alongside the bath tonics and essential oil blends is a collection of calm-inducing capsules from sister brand Daylesford. There’s even a lavender scented candle and a cashmere eye mask to ensure uninterrupted slumber.

Aurelia's collection is a truly beautiful gift for both parent and baby. This reusable illustrated suitcase is filled to the brim with the whole Little Aurelia collection, from the Sleep Time body wash and cream to the Comfort and Calm salve. There's even a storybook to complete their bedtime ritual.

This luxurious hamper contains everything your recipient needs for a truly blissful night in. Diptyque’s warming miniature Ambre candle is nestled next to the brand’s hand cream, while a selection of chocolates and two miniature bottles of the retailer’s own Champagne encourage total indulgence.

Featuring 10 Cowshed classics, this wooden gift box is the perfect treat for any fans of the spa brand. Their at-home facial begins with the Cica Gel Face Wash, while the 20% Vitamin C Booster, Antioxidant Serum and Rejuvenate Day Cream will brighten, soften and hydrate with ease.
