Easter Gift Inspiration

As we skip eagerly into Spring, enjoying the beautiful warm weather we have at present (long may it last!) - Easter is just around the corner.
However you choose to celebrate, the four day weekend is the perfect time to get together with friends and loved ones;  to catch up and spoil them rotten in the process.
Now, whilst chocolate is without a doubt one of my favourite things (especially after doing the March de-chox challenge!) it’s always nice to come up with an Easter gift that is truly unique and will last longer than the bank holiday weekend.
I’ve put together some of my favourite ideas to give you some original gift giving inspiration this Easter. Each one is also perfect if you're simply looking to treat yourself (and why not?) by adding some fresh new accessories to your home this spring.

Egg Holders

If you’re keen to stick with an egg theme this Easter, our half dozen and dozen beech wood egg holders make a great alternative gift. Beautifully crafted and engraved with a variety of quirky phrases from ‘Crack On’ to ‘Bake Off’, our egg holders are a functional yet stylish accessory for the kitchen and especially perfect for those with a love of baking.

Egg Cups 

There’s nothing better than a dippy egg for breakfast, right? Even now at the age of 32, a dippy egg with toasted soldiers and lashings of butter evokes the best childhood memories for me. If you’re a fan too, you can proclaim your love for this breakfast masterpiece with one of our engraved ‘Dippy Egg’ egg cups! Crafted in beech wood, our egg cups will make a great addition to your Easter breakfast table. And, if you’re more of a medium to hard-boiled person, you won’t miss out. Choose from our pair of non-committal ‘Egg’ holders or our  ‘Soldiers’ egg holder which even has handy sections for your soldiers and a pinch of salt.

'Gateaux' Domed Cake Stand 

If sweet treats are a big part of Easter weekend then our ‘Gateaux’ Cake Dome could be the answer to your present quandary. From delicious Simnel cake to traditional hot cross buns and kiddie created Easter nests, our beautiful cake stand will showcase their homemade treats in style.
Its domed glass lid makes it perfect for use al fresco protecting everything from the great outdoors, and its pretty engraved beech wood base ensures each bake becomes star of the show!

Jam Jar Lids 

Lazy mornings are the thing of bank holiday weekends and breakfast in bed or brunch in your pj's is a great way to start the day.
With a stunning selection of breakfast accessories available online from toast racks to butter dishes, my favourite for the breakfast table has to be our sweet, fruit themed jar lids. Simply screw on to your favourite (standard sized) jam or marmalade jars and add instant wow factor to breakfast time. Our strawberry jam lids are especially great for those with a love of cream teas. The only question is jam before cream or cream before jam?!

Amore Bookmark

If your recipient is a bookworm and will have their head stuck firmly in a book making the most of some extra reading time this bank holiday, our Amore Bookmark makes the perfect token gift. Stunning in silver plate, the curved stem is topped off with an elegant heart shape motif and will nestle perfectly between the pages of their favourite book until they can return to it.
