Easter Gifts and Baking Treats

Are you looking for inspiration on what to buy your friends and family for Easter? Fancy doing something different in the way of gifts? Have a look below for hamper madness, sweet treats, a Sunday roast menu and gifts galore!!

I have chosen a wide range of gift ideas and our recipe book has just been updated with some tasty Easter baking treats and Sunday Lunch ideas. If you can’t find what you are looking for, we have an extensive shopping directory. Let us know what shops you like to visit and give us a link below with your own comments and recommendations.

First for hampers: The number one hamper site offers gift hampers and specially designed Easter hampers that are ideal for friends and family, you can even make your own; catering exactly to who you send the hamper to. They are all beautifully wrapped in a great big Easter Basket!

Cadbury Gifts Direct is a fantastic way to treat your family, Cadbury have four gift sets for Easter; the Super Egg Pack is £18, this includes five large eggs, lots of mini treats and an Easter egg trail pack, it is huge and fantastic for the whole family!

For gifts for the whole family that aren’t made of chocolate, have a look at John Lewis, they have a wonderful selection of gift ideas for all ages, including the cutest and softest rabbit cuddly toy for the little ones, I particularly like the V&A collection for those that are green fingered, or have a look at their new range of brightly coloured mugs and special tea time pottery perfect for spring.

If you fancy doing lots of baking or are holding a traditional Easter Sunday Lunch, have a look in our recipe book for a range of meals and baking treats to make your day easier. I have found a recipe for a lovely roast lunch of braised lamb. If you enjoy baking, then a cost effective and caring way to save cash is to give goodies as gifts. Take a look at the recipes in our recipe book for inspiration and yummy treats.

Present your home made luxuries in a traditional basket filled with colourful shredded paper and wrapped in ribbons for a fantastic finish. Try the hot cross bun muffins or chocolate fudge Easter cup cakes that will fit perfectly into a basket to take to your family and friends…how quaint! And think how yummy your kitchen will smell! If you’re feeling really ambitious try making your own Easter eggs, that will definitely impress your family and you can make them as healthy or as naughty as you like with your own input into the recipes.
