Sweets and treats

At Easter, chocolates fill the home or garden, hidden from eager eyes for a short time. While traditional, egg hunts fail to cater to diabetics and others who don’t enjoy chocolate.

Consider an alternative when organising Easter gifts for friends and family: fill baskets with other personalised gifts to excite, and avoid the inevitable sugar rush.

Treats

• With small ‘stocking-like’ gifts and riddles or questions, build a scavenger hunt that rewards each correct discovery with a thoughtful treat. This keeps the Easter egg hunt magic alive, and invites an engaging, cheerful atmosphere.
• Let their personality decide: some reading for a bookworm, a voucher to a place they might love to go, or a product that aligns with their favourite hobby.
• Plan a big family breakfast and indulge in a delightful spread while spending quality time with loved ones. Embrace the theme with bunny ear napkins (find a how-to below).

LEAN IN to the theme with a bunny ear napkin.
Roll a napkin that suits your theme into a long ‘sausage’ shape, folding it into a U-shape. Place a hard-boiled egg still in the shell at the bottom of U, before tying the two ends of the napkin together, just above the egg, with ribbon to create bunny ears.
