Picnic Hamper FAQs

What do I put in a picnic hamper?

Picnic hampers typically include catering for morning tea, lunch, or afternoon tea. We like to include a range of sweets, savouries, and beverages in our hampers. For sweets, we include candied nuts, chocolates, and Maggie Beer treats. In terms of savouries, we have cheese, crackers, fruit pastes, preserves, nuts, olives, tapenade, and sauces. For beverages, we have alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. If you need some advice on the size of hamper required, we recommend being able to serve 1-2 more people than necessary.

How much does a picnic hamper cost?

Our picnic hampers range from $55 to $250, with options for everyone. Our smaller gift boxes feature artisan treats, while our more expensive ones feature red wine, champagne, and sparkling wine. If you choose a picnic hamper over $150, you'll also save money and get free standard shipping (excludes cheese hampers).

Are the baskets in your picnic hampers reusable?

Yes, absolutely. Some of our picnic hampers come in our signature gift boxes with a sturdy design and magnetic closure lid. Others come in Maggie Beer's iconic French market baskets. These hamper baskets are handmade in Morocco using water reeds by local artisans. They have a strong basket and two sets of handles: a water reed set and a genuine leather set. Each one has Maggie's signature, making them the perfect gift your gift recipient can take to the market, shops, beach, park, and more.

How can I get free shipping on picnic hampers?

Picnic hampers over $150 come with free standard shipping Australia-wide. This excludes cheese hampers, however, as they must be delivered by a temperature-controlled van to ensure freshness and quality.

Do your picnic hampers come with a gift card?

Yes, every picnic hamper and gourmet basket in our range comes with a complimentary gift card. At checkout, we'll offer you the chance to leave a message - which we'll print out and stick on your card. We also have premium gift cards if you'd like one of those.

If you're looking for corporate gifts, we can create a custom gift card for you with your company branding. Custom branding is available through our corporate ordering platform.

Do you offer any picnic hampers for two?

Yes! Many of our hampers have a smaller selection of items that two lucky people can enjoy together. One of our favourite choices for two is the Gourmet Bites Hamper. It features nuts, wafers, fruit paste, chutney, sweet nuts, and more Maggie Beer bites.
