Baskets at the ready – your hunt for non-chocolate Easter gifts ends here. From Easter toys to keep little ones happy to seasonal homeware and accessories for adults, each of our editor’s picks in this luxury Easter gift guide promise to bring a smile.
Chocolate may take centre stage – read our guide to the finest eggs – but The Food Halls are brimming with gourmet Easter gifts this spring. With picnic season upon us (ever the optimists), pick up a seasonal hamper packed with everything you need for an alfresco feast.
It’s no surprise this bestselling blend is back for another season. Reminiscent of simnel cake, this Sri Lankan black tea is a fusion of fragrant orange peel, sweet apple pieces and warming spices. A sophisticated alternative to chocolate, it makes a welcome addition to Easter tea parties and pairs perfectly with our Hot Cross Bun Curd.
Elevate springtime feasts with an extra-special food gift. Thoughtfully curated to deliver a symphony of flavours, this abundant hamper is there for every Easter occasion. Fine wines and after-dinner chocolates? Check. A pot of tea and a slice of Simnel cake? Check. Discover more seasonal picks in our guide to the best luxury hampers.
Prefer to gift an experience? Take them for a springtime afternoon tea with a dedicated kids’ menu at The Georgian – perfect for half-term fun. If you’re craving a more traditional Easter lunch, find a decadent Sunday roast to rival your mum’s with rooftop views at The Grill on Fifth or in the vibrant Dining Hall at The Grill.
Family fun without the sugar rush aftermath? Now that’s a treat. Whether its bonding time spent over spring-themed activities and games or discovering their new cuddly toy obsession or making breakfast feel extra special with themed crockery, these are gifts they’ll treasure.
Pull up the stool and spark their love of baking with this cookie set. Complete with an adorable mini rolling pin, four cookie cutters – shaped like a bunny, lamb, chick and egg – and a keepsake storage bag, this is a kit they’ll want to get out year after year.
Let their creativity shine with this traditional Easter activity. Lift the lid on the eggbox to find six plain egg decorations, ready to be painted in their favourite colours. Once dried, make an activity out of decorating the home.
Whether you’re celebrating their first Easter or updating their soft toy collection, a plush lamb is a timeless springtime gift. Super-soft and fluffy with a lilac velvet ribbon, this huggable companion will bring instant joy. It also pairs beautifully with our Easter treat bag for a thoughtful gift combination.
A cult collectable for adults and children alike, Jellycat toys have earned their hype with signature softness – the result of recycled fibres and innovative technologies – meaning they’ll withstand years of love. Inspired by the British breakfast classic, this smiley egg-and-soldier duo is no egg-ception.
A charming designer Easter outfit brings as much joy to the parent as it does to the child. This spring, dress them in cheerful family party outfits, snug organic cotton pyjamas, or a wrap towel with bunny ears – there’s truly nothing cuter.
The host of your Easter celebration will likely receive plenty of chocolate eggs, spring blooms and Champagne – all excellent choices. But to stand out, give them something for the home. From vases and tableware to scented candles and diffusers for spring, these home accessories are sure to be a welcome surprise.
A candle is a failsafe gift for the homebody at any time of the year. This season, look for inviting, sunny scents. Take the notes of this mouth-blown glass Onno candle, for example. Captivating oud, cashmere wood, blackcurrant and leather bring warmth into the home.
Spring is the perfect time to host an afternoon tea at home. This triple-tiered cake stand from Villari is handmade in Italy and has a dainty hand-painted butterfly design with 24ct gold detailing. It makes an exceptional addition to the tea party lover’s collection.
If you know someone who loves to decorate the home for every seasonal celebration, or that someone is you, look no further. Ornate hanging eggs, collectable ornaments and decorative wreaths will transform your décor this Easter.
Shopping for your most fashionable friends is no mean feat. Our advice: opt for spring-appropriate motifs across bags, accessories and jewellery.
We’re throwing out Miranda Priestley’s rulebook; florals for spring can be fresh when worn right. Case in point: this pastel tote adorned with English garden blooms. It’s the perfect, uplifting addition to their Food Halls shopping bag rotation.
If you’re looking for something to mark an extra-special Easter, why not consider jewellery? Bleue Burnham, one of our must-know men’s jewellery brands, will bring vibrancy to their collection with lab-grown sapphires. This impressive signet is hailed the brand’s “largest and most complex ring created”.
