Whether April Showers or Spring Sunshine whatever the weather this Easter, we can’t wait for the delicious treats and the promise of a Bank Holiday! With so many treats to tease, we’re here with the Bookblock guide to Easter gifts to help get you off on the right path. We’ve got something for everyone, from the sweet tooth fanatics to the cocktail adventurers!
Chocolate, chocolate everywhere!
Easter means one thing and one thing only. Eating so much Chocolate you question whether you’ll ever be able to move again. Whatever your choc preference, Bookblock have it under control. Prefer your choc to look like colourful quails eggs? Like to stick to tradition with the classic Lindt gold bunny? Or are we of the Vegan persuasion? We’ve got handcrafted treats from the world’s finest chocolatiers, rich, smooth and bursting with flavour. With this in mind, we’re also delighted to be introducing to you our very own Bookblock mini eggs this Easter! Made in the UK with gorgeous milk chocolate and cocoa butter, this pink bunny shaped vintage style sweet box holds 300g of egg shaped goodness. Tuck in! Sometimes however, Easter comes with more specialised requirements. For those longtime Vegans or those who just want to try something new, Bookblock Deli’s Vegan Butterscotch Fudge is a great place to start. A deliciously smooth and creamy fudge, this blend is made without any dairy but with fantastic ingredients that give a beautifully buttery texture. It’s Vegan, but you wouldn’t know it! And if you’re more of a Truffle trier, Truffle Kerfuffle have some out of this world Vegan Coconut Caramel Chocolate Truffles. Ahh delightful! From eggs to bunnies and even the Gingerbread man himself, this is a time of serious chocolate, we’re ready if you are?
A Sense of Calm
As much as Easter is about filling your boots with as many naughty nibbles as you physically can, it’s also about taking time to zen out on the bank holiday. Of course drinking your way through it is also an option, but we’ll get to that later. If healing yourself from within sounds like a bit of you, you should take a trip to the Bookblock Deli. As well as our Relax & Unwind and body Boost Tea’s, we’ve recently introduced our MIND, BODY and SOUL ranges. Each ingredient brings its own benefits to the mind, body and soul. The rosebud from Isparta, Turkey, relaxes the body and calms the central nervous system in the SOUL Tea, whereas the Purple cornflower from Nawoiy, Uzbekistan, is known for boosting the immune system with an anti-inflammatory effect, which can be found in the MIND Tea. As well as our delicious tea ranges, why not try the Little Book of Mindfulness illustrated by Sarah Ford, or Laughter Yoga Daily Practises for Health and Happiness by Madan Kataria.
The Promise of Nature
Nothing quite rivals the smell of spring. From Dried Rose Bathbombs to Bergamot & Juniper Reed Diffusers, at Bookblock bringing everything we love about the natural world creatively and beautifully into our homes is a thing we do best. With our ranges from Flora Lane and Byrd & Bay, let our extensively researched scents roam wild around your home. If having bouquets upon bouquets around your home is more your thing, our Bookblock florists are constantly busy creating bespoke arrangements that can last for years to come. With everything from fiery Pink Dahlias, to Rose and Eucalyptus, our wonderful flower ladies are the best in the business!
It’s 5 O’Clock somewhere
It is a Bank Holiday after all! Whatever your drink of choice is, Bookblock can accommodate with open arms. From the Maison SASSY Cider range, to Malt Scotch Whisky courtesy of Element of Islay, we don’t mess around! We’ve also been busy scouring the country to discover some of the best cocktails around. It’s a tough job, but someone had to do it. For the perfect taste of Spring this Easter, we thoroughly recommend The Queen’s Martini. Fit for royalty, Forty Liquors have smoothly blended London Dry Gin with orange blossom bitters and a subtle hint of Lillet Blanc with elderflower essence. And if that doesn’t sound quite you, there’s always the Grapefruit Negroni for an extra kick, or the delicious range of Forty Liquor’s Spritzes to whet your appetite! From Alfonso’s Spritz Strawberry Sherry Cobbler, to London’s Calling Zesty Gin Fizz these on the go cocktail mixes.
Something For The Little Ones
You’re never too young to celebrate the joys of Easter. If you’re looking for something to accompany the gift of a choc egg or simply something instead of, we have a cute little way of spreading joy without going mad on a sugar rush. Our Hug in a Box cuddly animal friends are huggable, snuggable and loveable. From Luna the unicorn to Bonny the Bunny, our fury friends simply light up a room! And who’s to say they’re just for kids? Everyone needs a cuddle from time to time, even us adults. For more cuddly options, there’s also Bookblock’s Cream Comfort Bunny, designed to comfort and entertain babies while they’re playing or sleeping, the four knotted corners can also be bitten by the little one for a soothing effect.
However you treat yourself or your loved ones this Easter, make it one to remember, even if we can’t all be under the same roof! Whether you want to send a gift box of goodies or simply a card, don’t forget to add your personal touch with our personalisation features. Our range of hand-drawn designs is just the thing to put a smile on that special someone’s face… and yours too!
