Non-chocolate Easter gifts for the whole family

In my opinion Easter is a really fun holiday. Spring has arrived or is on its way, and there is a less pressure for perfection than Christmas. I really like buying Easter gifts. But what can you choose for someone who doesn’t like chocolate or has stopped eating it? Or perhaps the children in your family just need a break from too much sugar. So here’s my list of non-chocolate Easter gifts for the whole family.

Non-chocolate Easter gifts for adults

Hilton Macarons Botanical range

This limited edition hand-made ‘botanical’ range from Hilton Macarons is the perfect sweet treat for spring with a delightful balance between sweet florals and fresh fruity flavours, and a light colour palette that reflects the time of year. There are six innovative flavours to enjoy – Bergamot & Thyme, Rhubarb & Orange Blossom, Rose, Raspberry & Lychee, Blackberry & Lavender, Strawberry, Hibiscus & Vanilla and Lime & Basil, all wrapped up in a beautiful gift box. Hilton Macarons’ new limited edition botanical range of macarons is available online at https://hiltonmacarons.co.uk, RRP from £13 for box of 6.

Astral Intensive Moisturiser

Astral Intensive Moisturiser is a tried and tested face and body cream that has been loved by women for over 70 years with many never using another moisturiser in their life. And now it seems younger generations are discovering this wonder stuff that knocks the more expensive designer creams off the shelf.

Cotswold Cardillo Colomba di Pasqua

Italian food specialist Cotswold Cardillo is now selling a Colombo di Pasqua. This delicately sweet, panettone-style bread is enriched with candied fruit, almonds and a light, golden crust, making it the perfect centrepiece for any Easter table. To pre-order your Pasqua di Columba (£20 per cake) visit https://thecotswoldcardillo.co.uk/shop/.

Oato

A quirky Easter gift idea is British made oat milk from Oato. Oato is proud to be the only fresh oat milk available in supermarket chillers. The full Oato range (Barista Whole; Chocoloato; Strawberry Oatshake; Caffe Latte) is available fresh to your doorstep via many milk rounds partners. They are also available in Waitrose stores across the country.

Cotswolds Cardillo Limoncello

This Cotswold Cardillo Limoncello uses only the finest Mediterranean lemons with a secret blend of spices, resulting in this unique balance between sweet and sour. Enjoy Limoncello straight from the freezer as an after drink, or try it drizzled over summery deserts for some extra zesty flair. You can buy directly from Cotswold Cardillo, £30 for 500ml.
