When I talk about our baskets being wicker baskets, they are not actually woven of wicker.  The term ‘wicker’ actually is used to describe the basket created.  Wicker work is an ancient hand weaving technique used to create the baskets.  Wicker baskets are created from a variety of plants including willow, palm, reed and bamboo.  Unless stated all my featured wicker baskets are made from Willow.

This is a truly stunning & high quality picnic hamper that is sure to serve you year after year.

This fully-fitted picnic hamper basket contains everything you need for a wonderful picnic for 6 people.  Goodies include a soft & fluffy polar fleece xl picnic blanket, stainless steel cutlery, china teacups, porcelain plates and some crisp cotton napkins. 

There’s a Thermos Flask for your hot drinks or soup and a cooler bag to ensure your sandwiches arrive in perfect condition.  Plus there’s even a corkscrew for that essential bottle of wine I think the only downside to this hamper is the unpacked weight is 10kg so you wont be carrying it too far.  Personally I transport my picnic basket in a folding picnic trolley, there are loads to choose from so you dont need to compromise style!

The 24″ Regency Hamper Luxury Six Person Picnic Basket is made from a robust set of full buff willow and has been finished with a real dark leather handle & straps to help ensure that the content is held firmly in place.  For this incredible price the 6 person Regency Picnic Basket is amazing value for money.

Vintage chic at its best with this double opening picnic hamper

The HappyPicnic Wicker Picnic Basket for 4 persons is a lovely, vintage-look hamper for up to four people.  Personally this is one of the cutest baskets we own, I bought it for the old fashioned double lid opening.  It’s a great design – bang on trend with vintage and shabby-chic elements but still traditional enough to stay in style!  

The fixed-handle, double lid version comes in three colours choices (Review model is natural wicker with navy & cream striped accessories). This willow Wicker Picnic Basket has some great features, like a built-in insulated cool bag section & cheese board making it more luxury too.

The basket, with dark brown PU buckle fastenings, comes pre-filled with a selection of quality picnic items. And the amazing price it makes the picnic basket a great choice for those new to picnicking!

More spacious than traditional picnic baskets. Strong leather fixings keep everything in place better!

The Happy Picnic 4 Person Wicker Hamper  is just one of the most beautiful hampers for picnics.  Its made from natural buff willow with eco friendly varnish making it strong, sturdy and long lasting.

High quality PU straps and 100% cotton liner keep everything safe inside the basket whilst you travel.  I dont think this has as much cutlery or picnic extras as other hampers but that leaves more space for food and wine!  However you do get a set of food storage boxes!

There is only a small cooler compartment with this basket so I would recommend you add either an electric cooler box or a cool bag rucksack as well.

All the tableware are reusable, food-safe and dish-wash safe.

Take your picnic to the next level with your own integrated table and wine glass holder!

This wicker basket set is the perfect choice for a romantic picnic or outside party.  With its clever integrated table to hold your wine glasses and serve food on its also great on a road trip, sailing, self-driving tour/ travel and campfire.  

I did think its a perfect basket for a couple.  With the lack of a cooler bag as well it would be necessary to take an extra insulated cooler rucksack or a cool box with you.

Perfect gift for any picnic lovers or a lovely wedding gift! 

The Harpenden Wicker Picnic Hamper For Two People is a beautiful gift to give to anyone celebrating a special occasion.  It’s my go to wedding and ‘big birthday’ present idea as i know everyone who gets one is charmed by the contents and quality.

Its got everything you would need to a romantic picnic, with great quality cutlery and plates (which most don’t have).  It comes in a lovely summer cream colour (very Henley regatta or Polo i think).  There are some nice additions to the basket like metal drinking cups, glass wine glasses and a stainless steel flask with duffle that’s great for wine.

Compared to other two person Picnic Baskets and Picnic Backpacks its a great price for a luxury picnic basket.  You can check prices here.

Luxury Picnic Basket Buyers Guide

You’ll find the word luxury when used for picnic hampers spans a wide range of choice and quality.  From something you could be proud to use at the polo match to party hampers to beach picnic sets. Prices vary too from under £50 to over £200. 

The more expensive wicker basket picnic set can cost £200 plus.  These offer absolute luxury with metal cuttlery, china plates, glassware and are made of high quality sustainable willow for great strength . These high end picnic hampers are for the serious outdoor eaters for whom home from home comforts count.

For the average girl, like me or the family man or woman we are looking for luxury at a  reasonable price (£60 upwards). No matter how much you spend on your picnicware you’ll want to check out our reviews to make sure you get the best luxury picnic basket for your budget.  Things I always look at when buying any picnic stuff includes:

  • Materials
  • Size
  • Colors
  • Accessories
  • Assembly
  • Cost

While you’re thinking about all that, also give some thought to how and where you’ll use it. The best picnic set in the world is a waste of money if it doesn’t keep the food warm and the wine chilled or is impossible to carry.

Believe me. I’ve squandered my share of cash on unwise purchases. Let’s talk about what matters and how it will influence what you end up buying.

When I am testing luxury picnic hamper sets I test the same things.  I want to make sure the luxury baskets I recommended are of the highest quality and value.  So its important that they are:

Sturdy & well crafted

When spending so much on a picnic hamper you want quality and sturdiness for sure.  It’s important to make sure the strapping and locks, zippers and even the willow its crafted from are of the best quality.   It mustn’t look or feel cheap in anyway!

Easy to transport & carry

When you are buying a luxury hamper you still want something that’s easy to carry and set up.  The luxury of the basket should be based on the quality and amount of accessories in the basket.  However the luxury of the basket can also be in its small size and easy portability because it uses space cleverly.

Accessories & equipment

As i said above for me one of the biggest part of a luxury basket is the quality of the plates, cutlery and accessories.  I am looking for those extras that money really can buy with these hampers – wine glasses, quality coolers, picnic blankets, napkins and more. It’s also about the materials used.

Price = value for money

Luxury hampers we test range from £80-£220 (however on this site we are staying to the lower end for our reviews).  When paying this much for a hamper I expect it at least ‘feel’ like I got value for money. However really i am looking to be wowed by those extra details, maybe hand wrapping the basket, faster delivery etc. 

Is it a luxury basket for picnics I need?

Luxury picnic baskets are designed for using for a day out at the races, leisurely drive out and dine or perhaps on a family beach trip.  Its never suited to a long walk or hike so if you want a little luxury and a walk then I suggest you look at our Luxury Picnic Backpacks instead.

Not all of these things may be your priority when buying a luxury picnic set so be sure to know what is important to you when reading our reviews.   I have known families to have their luxury baskets for many many years, so long in fact its like part of the family.  So make sure your newest family member is perfect for youI

Conclusion

Choosing a luxury Picnic Basket, whether for a gift or personal use, can be a time consuming task.  You need to be sure the money you are paying buys quality, both of the basket and the contents, functionality and it is big enough to serve you for many years.  

For those reasons our best buy from all five luxury picnic hampers we reviewed was the
HappyPicnic Willow Picnic Hamper for 4 Persons

We choose it for several reasons:

  • The basket is made from the strongest buff willow so it will last
  • There are three choices of basket colour (often offers on them too!)
  • It offers excellent value for money with the additional contents:- Cheese board, Real glass for wine, china cups & plates (that extra touch of luxury)
  • Its beautiful to look at with its old fashioned double open lid
  • Excellent storage space in basket and inside the insulated cool box
  • It’s a 4 person set so will expand as family grows or for guests
