Easter gifts ideas

In every egg hunt, there’s always one egg hidden so well that it goes undiscovered for months, one sore loser with an empty basket, and one greedy winner who manages to make eating chocolate look smug. For those that like a quiet life, we cut out the middleman and did the egg hunting ourselves, creating this hamper of chocolate eggs, bars, caramels and even tea.  

This 15-stem arrangement of flowers from Aoyama Flower Market brings all the joy of spring blooms without the April shower wilt. A vision of spring (whatever the forecast), each bouquet includes roses along with a seasonal bunch of fragrant, vibrant flowers and foliage. 

The Easter Bunny has been getting creative with their egg-themed gifts. A plush alternative to a chocolate egg, this soft toy from Jellycat is cute, cuddly and makes for a cracking gift that will last beyond Easter morning. Forget the toast, we serve our eggs with a smiley face and needle-cord legs.

Winter is thawing and social calendars are filling back up. The Diana Mini Picnic analogue camera is here to turn those happy moments into keep-forever memories. It takes 35mm film and produces vibrant lo-fi images, ideal for candid captures and precision-planned people shots. Gift the camera or keep it for yourself and share the photos with your loved ones.

Spring cleans always sound like a chore. But spring refreshes? That’s something everyone can get behind. Small homeware label Wavey Casa was born in lockdown, recognising the joy-bringing capabilities of colourful home furnishings. The ice-cream shades of this blanket are optimistically summery, while the cosy knit is perfect for cooler evenings. When properly hot days kick in, it’ll come into its own as a picnic blanket.

Not just for Murrays in the making, this tennis set from Scandi brand Liewood is lightweight and long-lasting, making it perfect for kid-friendly family fun. Liewood’s aim is to create responsibly made pieces that will be handed down through generations, so bring this set out after Easter Sunday lunch to start a new annual tradition.

Purists will say that equinox marks the official start of spring; we agree with those who say it’s the first sip of rosé of the year. Make a proper celebration out of that moment with six bottles to open. Featuring crowd-favourite Whispering Angel and industry innovator Fiol, the case is full of complex, nuanced flavours from around the world. Staying loyal to the failsafe ‘pale blush’ while exploring rosé’s full flavour potential, the variety means everyone is sure to find a bottle they’ll like.  

For a smart, grown-up gift, look to HAY and its spring-hued homeware. This pair of mugs are made of sturdy borosilicate glass, which can withstand sudden temperature changes. Pair them with our cocoa tea for an Easter gift fit for hot-drink aficionados, or gift the set alongside a colourful blanket for a top-notch picnic. 

Sunnylife was created to bring Sydney’s beach lifestyle to the rest of the world, which is an ethos that is always welcome, especially during the ever-reliable April showers. An ideal  boredom-busting game for school Easter holidays and family get-togethers, this hand-painted Jumbling Tower will bring out everyone’s competitive streak, regardless of age. Made with responsibly-sourced natural timber, the vibrant hand-dyed blocks are as pleasing to play with as they are to look at.  

For an Easter gift that’s as sweet as chocolate but a little more unexpected, look to our Easter iced biscuits. Each buttery vanilla biscuit is made and iced by hand to resemble hot cross buns, carrots, eggs and Archie (the Selfridges dog cunningly disguised as the Easter Bunny, that is).
