Spring has sprung so why not celebrate by surprising someone with a great Easter gift selected from some of Covent Garden’s best stores.
This bejewelled beaded egg – the sort of thing that might have been created for a chocolate-loving Russian Tsar – is filled with 15 mini ‘POP’ eggs in assorted delicious flavours from Godiva . It’ll also make an attractive jewellery case or keepsake box for years to come.
Price: £30.00
This very adorable (and rare!) bunny has long floppy ears and is super-soft. Visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop and make your own. There’s a free Easter basket with the purchase of an animal priced £9 or more, while stocks last.
Price: £15
Less a fuzzy duckling, more a fizzy duck, this citrus burst is shaped like a little bird and fragranced with Lush’s popular Happy Hippy scent of grapefruit, bergamot and frankincense oils. Relaxing, cleansing and refreshing.
Price: £1.85
Hand-made in England, this miniature recreation of Alice In Wonderland’s Mad Hatter’s tea party is fashioned from painstakingly painted pewter and is a true collector’s item. You’ll find it arguably the finest independent toyshop in London – Pollock’s of Covent Garden.
Price: £165.00
This deliciously thick milk chocolate egg from Thorntons features a chunky white butterfly crafted onto the shell. It’s pretty enough that you’ll be reluctant to start chomping but that delicious choccy scent will soon see you cracking through it.
Price: £3.50
Culpeper, one of the oldest collection of herbal shops in England, offers the perfect gift to celebrate spring and the spirit of renewal. Its Gardener’s Favourite tin contains a selection of easy to grow herbs (chives, dill and basil), a hand lotion and a box of mustard bath salts, all presented in a suitably traditional tin. The sentiment lasts a long time – you’ll be remembered every time they take a snip of chives for their potato salad or tear up some basil for a pasta dish…
Price: £ 22.50
Designed by Vernissage and available at Kabiri, this beautifully intricate hand-made ring is perfect for Easter, with its depiction of a bird sitting in a nest with an egg. Constructed of 18k burnished gold with diamond details, it’s a truly unique piece.
