In the wake of the new year, many of us have well and truly returned to our usual work, school, or uni routines. Time is already speeding by and, well, Easter is upon us already! With wide-spread cultural and spiritual significance, Easter offers a time to celebrate new beginnings and hope. It is also the symbol of new life, which is why you often see imagery of bunnies or chicks swirling around the Easter season. For many of us, it is also a time to take a few days off from work or studies to recharge, reflect on the year so far, and spend time with loved ones.
If your love language is gift giving, then this article is for you. We have wrapped up some of the top gifts to shop for this Easter season. Whether you are shopping for the kids, or even for your friends, our guide should help you shortlist your gift ideas!
Gift for the Kids
Lego Sets
For kids or big kids, Lego unlocks creativity like no other. Dive deeper into your favourite worlds and stories with Lego Harry Potter or Lego Friends. Help our youngest Kiwis explore the world around them with Lego Duplo. With Lego, you can recreate your favourite scenes and embark on adventures through magical or wild landscapes. Or discover your inner engineer by crafting an array of vehicles to roar through the streets. There is a Lego set for everyone and they make an awesome gift for Easter.
Puzzles
A jigsaw puzzle is a great way to put buzzing minds to work, creating a safe space for your loved one to tune into their inner creative and problem solver. Puzzles are versatile and they come in a range of difficulty levels to suit your gift recipient, from children’s puzzles, to complex scenery and imagery. What about The Wiggle Frame Tray Puzzle for the little one? Or how about the Floral Fiesta 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Poppy Paradise for a challenging adult puzzle?

Home and Garden Gifts
Garden Planter
There is simply nothing like having home grown herbs at the ready to elevate your home cooked dishes and delights. Gift your loved one a garden planter, in honour of the Easter symbolism of new life, so that they can plant and create their own herb garden. You could even include a couple of herb pots to get started such as sweet basil, or versatile parsley.
Silk Pillow Cases
Silk pillowcases are known for keeping you cool and dry all night. They can protect your hair from split-ends and even help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Silk pillowcases offer a luxurious comfort allure that will have your loved one looking forward to sleep each night. Try the Ecosa Silk Pillowcase, which comes in a forest green hue amongst other colours.
Oil Essence Diffuser
A diffuser will spritz delicate puffs of fragrance into your loved one’s room. A diffuser will help gently tint the room in scent, elevating the atmosphere of a space and fostering a sophisticated character in your loved one’s home. You can choose from reed diffusers such as the Aromabotanical Masters Sunflower Reed Diffuseror electric ones such as the Devanti Aromatherapy Diffuser Aroma that use water and scented essence to spread the fragrance.
