The King's Coronation on 6 May will be a time of celebration. You may not be fussed about the royal goings-on but you will likely be a fan of getting an extra day off work if you're based in the UK.
If you are excited about the pomp and grandeur of it all, you might want to embrace the occasion with a coronation hamper of goodies to mark the momentous occasion for King Charles.
A hamper is a great way to celebrate if you're marking the occasion at home with just your nearest and dearest - though if you're planning a bigger coronation celebration we have all the party decor inspiration you need, and all the outfit inspiration you might want.
A hamper also makes for a great gift - especially for an elderly friend or a lonely loved one who might be watching the celebrations at home or unfit to party.

Harvey Nichols Coronation Hampers
Harvey Nichols Blooming Lovely Hamper
This delightful hamper is new for spring, and while it's not 'coronation themed' we still think it would make for a great addition to your 6 May celebrations. This lovingly curated hamper features pink gin coloured with hollyhocks, Turkish delight laced with rose petals, tonics bursting with herbs and botanicals, biscuits chockful of fruit and nuts, and sweet acacia honey from the beehive. The Prosecco Rosé has notes of ripe red berries and cherry blossom and has been praised by Decanter Magazine for its "lovely breeziness".
Harvey Nichols The Great British Gift Box
The Great British Gift Box is stuffed with classic shortbread made by a family-run business in Edinburgh, Kentish salted caramel fudge created using a modern twist on a recipe that dates back to 1830, and an artisanal wine from the Cotswolds crafted from a grape called Bacchus, which many consider to be the UK’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc. Accompanying them are marmalade infused with Scotch whisky, strawberry jam from a farm in Essex, and honey from bees that buzz around the heather in the glens and highlands of Scotland. Throw in a fortifying cup of afternoon tea and deliciously retro hard-boiled sweets, and you’ll be singing the national anthem in no time.
