Every year it seems that Easter and spring celebrations are getting bigger and bigger, and it’s not just for the children. It’s a perfect time to honor this beautiful season, filled with long sunny days and endless possibilities. Here are lots of chic ways to celebrate Easter and make your loved ones feel the joys of Spring with our exclusive Easter Gift list.
It wouldn’t be Easter time without some decadent chocolate, now would it. I think we all deserve a little sweet treat this year. Whether you love a traditional egg or something more fun and cute like a bunny rabbit, there are so many yummy chocolates treats available. Gift yourself and your loved ones a chocolate feast this Easter; we are living through a pandemic after all.
Speaking of yummy treats, a gift basket is always a good idea! The iconic hampers from Harrods and Fortnum and Mason make for a splendid gift, and if you would rather make it more personal, buy a hamper and fill it up with all your love’s favorite Easter time goodies.
Dolce & Gabbana are continuing on from their Christmas panettone success with a Pasqua delicacy. What I love about these specialties are the divine tins they come in. Perfectly chic to use afterward as kitchen storage or a keepsake box.
A stunning bouquet of flowers at any time of year is a beautiful gift, but especially so for Spring. Le Fleur has created Roses that will last a full year. These treated roses are scented and beautifully packaged in a gift box. A favorite of the Kardashians, these flowers will make any space look chic and elegant.
Buy or create a fun Easter-themed wreathe for your door or table center. These also make a lovely hostess gift.
Spring is an ideal time to switch up your fragrances. Some floral favorites of mine to try are Replica Flower market by Maison Margiela, Jo Malone’s Scarlet Poppy, Tom Ford’s Tubereuse Nue. Marc Jacob’s Daisy is a perfect choice for any younger perfume lovers in your life.
Diptyque has wonderful candles perfectly scented for Spring. Last year they created a Spring collection filled with delicious scents and vibrant colors, perfect for any chic home.
Rituals have an ideal Easter gift this year, all your favorite body products gift wrapped in a giant egg.
For the fashionistas out there, one of my all-time favorite accessories are the Maison Michel lace bunny ears; they are fun, sexy, and kitsch all at the same time. If you look on resale sites and find the Louis Vuitton bunny ears from a few seasons back, even better!
A scarf is always a really welcome gift. They are so useful and can be worn in a plethora of ways, not just draped around the neck. From head wraps, waist belts, wrist ties to triangle tops, they can add to any outfit. Another idea is to wrap around the handle of your handbag for a new take on your favorite accessory. Brands like Hermès, Liberty’s London, and Salvatore Ferragamo do beautifully vibrant florals for this time of year.
As we say here at Chic Icon, Jewelry is always a good idea! If you’re looking to keep up with all the serious fashion lovers, Bottega Veneta’s floral beaded chain is going to be the statement piece of the season. If you’re looking for something a little more cost-effective, Swarovski is a wonderful choice. The former Vogue editor extraordinaire Giovanna Engelbert is their new creative director, so they are absolutely the brand to be watching. For Easter, I loved their cute little Bumblebee earrings, a perfect reference to this wonderful season.
To enjoy a truly wonderful Easter feast at home, invest in some vibrant home and glassware. From festive tablecloths and napkins to colorful glasses and candelabras, all make for a memorable celebration.
Other festive touches that make lovely gifts are soft furnishings. One Kensington has beautiful bunny pillows, adorable for a child’s bedroom.
For some absolute blow the budget fun, Christofle’s Mood spoon egg is a delightful yet super luxe gift for any Easter lover in your life.
And last but certainly not least, when it comes to eggs, there can only be one winner. Fabergé’s iconic gilded eggs favored by royalty for over a century is surely the ultimate in egg splendor.
