M&S have just released the perfect gift hamper to help celebrate the upcoming August bank holiday in style. 

With the weather not quite what we'd normally expect for the middle of August, those looking for a break at the end of this month have had to come up with slightly different ways to make the most of the three-day weekend. Undoubtedly, some will be taking the day to get back to their high street as Nando's reopened their doors (opens in new tab) following chicken shortages this month. While others, refusing to let the rain get them down, will be heading to Lidl for their new range of Sangria ice lollies (opens in new tab).

Dog-owners, however, can settle down with a drink and their furry best friend as M&S are selling a gift bag full of delicious goodies for everyone.

All packed into a fun tote bag, the selection includes plenty of food and drink options - including cans of M&S famous gin and tonics, one of the summer's much-loved beverages.

Currently priced at just £30, it's one of the most affordable gift hampers M&S have offered so far this year.

These also aren't the only M&S gift hampers to cause a stir with shoppers. During the Wimbledon final earlier this year, tennis fans flocked to the retailer online to pick up one of their afternoon tea gift hampers (opens in new tab). Their other selections include ideal gifts for just about anyone in your life, from coffee-lovers (opens in new tab) to fun-loving gardeners (opens in new tab).

So whatever you're up to this August bank holiday, you're sure to be able to celebrate in style with this M&S gift hamper.
