Easter gifting ideas

Easter Sunday falls on 9 April this year, a time when the seasons start changing and the weather starts cooling down. It is the perfect time for buying chocolate don’t you think!

You still have plenty of time to get organised and prepared for this significant festive day of the year, which represents the celebration of hope, light and renewal – and doesn’t have to be faith based either. Easter can be a time to consider new beginnings, whether you are celebrating a Christian Easter, or just partaking in the traditional sense, one thing is for sure, most of us will be gathering as a family to share togetherness, delicious food, and most likely copious amounts of chocolate.

You may want to start thinking about your plans for the day, whether you will eat at home or take a picnic, a holiday or go out to lunch? If you live in a major city, you can enjoy fun at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, the Melbourne Easter Show, the Brisbane Royal Show, or the Meadows Easter Fair in Adelaide (just to name a few). Most have entertainment galore and fireworks each night. What about our regional towns and communities you may ask, well they all have their own Easter festivals and events as well.

Granted even though it is a lot less low key than Christmas, most people will turn this Easter weekend retreat into a jammed pack 4-day holiday with family or friends, whether it be camping, renting a vacation property away, or just being together at home.

All the fun of Easter giving starts with a little forward thinking, like egg decorating, mouth-watering treats, Easter hunts and parades, Easter shows and enchanting events. Easter baskets filled to the brim with confectionary is an easy way to keep the young at heart delighted.

But what about non-chocolate Easter gifts ? Where do you start and what gifting ideas should you consider that are noteworthy without breaking the budget?

We, at Décor Mantra have a range of 100% cotton table linen and natural, sustainable home wares and accessories that can be useful Easter gifts, well after it is all over for another year.
