2026 Mid-Autumn Festival Hamper Guide for Hong Kong
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Friday, 25 September 2026. Whether you are sending a gift to family, clients or colleagues, a good Mid-Autumn hamper should arrive fresh, look presentable and reach the recipient on time.
This guide explains the different hamper options available, when to order, how we select and protect our fruit, delivery tracking, corporate customisation, mooncake storage and what to check before sending mooncakes overseas.

Fresh Fruit, Peninsula Mooncakes and Other Mid-Autumn Hamper Options
Mid-Autumn hampers can be tailored to different celebrations and gifting requirements. Our seasonal collection may include:
- Premium fresh fruit hampers
- Fruit hampers with mooncakes
- The Peninsula’s Spring Moon mooncake hampers
- Shangri-La and Kee Wah mooncake combinations
- Mooncakes paired with wine, Champagne, tea or gourmet food
- Corporate hampers with personalised cards, branded ribbons or company logos
- Fruit gifts without mooncakes for recipients who prefer a lighter alternative
If you are looking specifically for a Peninsula Mid-Autumn hamper, we recommend ordering early. Popular hotel mooncakes and individual flavours can sell out before the festival.
The exact fruit, mooncake brands and combinations available will depend on seasonal quality and stock. Please check the individual product page or contact our team before ordering if a particular item is essential.
Order Early for Better Choice and Early-Bird Savings
Ordering early gives you the widest choice of fruit hampers, branded mooncakes and delivery dates.
When early-bird offers are available, ordering during the promotional period may also provide the best discount. These offers are subject to their published dates and available stock.
Early ordering is particularly important because:
- Popular hotel mooncakes can sell out
- Certain mooncake flavours are produced in limited quantities
- Preferred delivery dates become busier as the festival approaches
- Large corporate orders require time for branding, packing and address checking
- Seasonal fruit selection can change from day to day
For corporate orders, we recommend confirming the recipient list, branding requirements and preferred delivery dates as early as possible.
How We Keep Mid-Autumn Fruit Hampers Fresh
Freshness is one of the most important considerations when ordering a Mid-Autumn fruit hamper. A beautiful arrangement is only worthwhile if the fruit is also fresh, properly selected and suitable for gifting.
Daily selection from Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market
Our fruit buyer visits Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market every day to select suitable seasonal fruit. Fresh purchases arrive at our workshop at approximately 4am before the day’s hampers are prepared.
Every batch goes through our quality-control process. We examine the fruit for:
- Freshness and ripeness
- Colour and appearance
- Bruising or surface damage
- Shape and presentation
- Overall condition and suitability for gifting
Fruit quality changes daily. A variety that looked excellent yesterday may not be the best option today. We would rather substitute it with fresher, better-looking fruit than include an inferior item simply to follow a fixed list.
Why the fruit selection may change
Fruit is seasonal, and not every variety is available—or suitable for gifting—every day. Product photographs and content lists therefore represent the expected style and composition of the hamper.
When substitution is necessary, we aim to preserve the hamper’s overall value, quality, colour balance and presentation. Our priority is always to use the freshest and best-looking fruit available on the packing day.
Why certain fruits are generally excluded
Some attractive fruits are not well suited to wrapped gift hampers:
- Bananas ripen quickly, bruise easily and release more ethylene. Their elongated shape can also make them difficult to arrange securely and elegantly.
- Mangosteens may conceal insects around the calyx or within crevices in the rind, creating unnecessary risk inside a sealed hamper.
- Strawberries are delicate and highly sensitive to temperature changes. Condensation during packing and delivery can increase the risk of mould or spoilage.
These exclusions help us reduce avoidable freshness and presentation problems.
An ethylene absorber in every fruit hamper
We place an ethylene absorber inside every fruit hamper. It helps absorb ethylene gas released naturally by ripening fruit, slowing the ripening process while the hamper remains wrapped.
The absorber supports freshness during delivery, but it does not replace proper storage. The recipient should unpack and inspect the fruit reasonably soon after receiving the hamper.
For more information about different varieties, visit our Hong Kong fruit guide.
Hong Kong Delivery, Urgent Orders and Tracking
Our Mid-Autumn hampers include free delivery across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.
Standard festive delivery is arranged between 9am and 6pm. Because Mid-Autumn orders require fresh-fruit selection, production planning and route coordination, standard same-day delivery is not offered during the festive period.
If you need a last-minute delivery, contact us on +852 2730 0839. An urgent point-to-point delivery may sometimes be arranged for an additional charge, subject to:
- Fruit and mooncake availability
- Packing and production capacity
- Driver availability
- Delivery location
- Traffic and road conditions
Urgent delivery cannot be guaranteed until our team has checked and confirmed the order.
How will I know when the hamper has been delivered?
Customers receive:
- An email when the hamper is on its way
- A second email after delivery has been completed
You can also use our order tracking page.
If you would like a photograph of the completed hamper before dispatch, please request this when placing the order.

Mid-Autumn Hamper Delivery to Macau, Mainland China and Overseas
Gift Hampers HK can help customers send Mid-Autumn gifts beyond Hong Kong. The products available depend on the destination because fresh fruit, mooncakes and other food products are subject to different customs and quarantine requirements.
Mid-Autumn Hamper Delivery to Macau
Macau orders should be placed through Gift Hampers Macau so customers can see the correct local product availability, pricing and delivery information.
Mid-Autumn Hamper Delivery to Mainland China
We have a limited selection of Mid-Autumn hampers available for delivery to Mainland China. Please contact our customer service team on +852 2730 0839 to discuss your requirements, delivery destination and preferred date.
Please note that hampers containing fresh fruit cannot be sent to Mainland China.
Sending Mooncakes Overseas
Import requirements and courier policies can change. Contact our team before ordering so we can check whether the proposed gift is suitable. Read our full guide to sending mooncakes internationally.
How to Store Fruit and Mooncakes
The recipient should unwrap the hamper reasonably soon after delivery. Decorative wrapping can restrict airflow and retain heat or moisture, particularly during Hong Kong’s warm September weather.
Fruit storage
- Inspect the fruit and separate any item that is very ripe or damaged.
- Refrigerate apples, citrus fruit and Nashi pears if they will not be eaten soon.
- Allow mangoes and melons to ripen according to their condition, then refrigerate as appropriate.
- Keep fruit away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Follow any storage information supplied with the hamper.
Mooncake storage
Always follow the instructions printed on the original mooncake packaging.
Most traditional, commercially sealed mooncakes can be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unless their packaging says otherwise.
The Peninsula’s Spring Moon mooncakes require refrigeration at 0–4°C. Snow-skin, chilled and other temperature-sensitive mooncakes must also be refrigerated or frozen according to their individual labels.
Customer-supplied mooncakes should remain in their original packaging so the recipient can see the correct expiry date and storage instructions.
