Easter Egg Chocolate Box with Salted Caramel Truffles, £32.95, Rococo Chocolates; Vegan Spiced Filled Easter Egg, £17.50, Cutter & Squidge; Hand-decorated White Chocolate Easter Egg, £33.75, Fortnum & Mason

Easter is synonymous with the gifting of chocolate, and The Royal Exchange retailers have some exceptional options for anyone who revels in receiving their annual egg. All available for home delivery, we’ve highlighted some of our favourites from the wide selection available. Rococo’s gold foiled chocolate box will make a lovely keepsake long after the handmade salted caramel truffles inside have been enjoyed, while Fortnum & Mason’s hand-decorated white chocolate egg looks too pretty to break apart, except you’d miss out on the exciting selection of white chocolates contained within. Those with a plant-based diet will delight in receiving Cutter & Squidge’s indulgent vegan spiced filled Easter egg – a masterpiece that’s layered with caramel sauce, cinnamon spiced digestive crumb and topped with luxurious vegan chocolate ganache.

OBJETS D’ART

With everyone spending more time at home than ever before, objects of beauty and sentimental significance can be a source of inspiration and a reminder of loved ones. Searle and Co.’s silver bunny rabbit reflects new life and will make a delightful addition to any shelf, table or mantlepiece, while Tiffany & Co.’s Elsa Peretti-designed sterling silver egg cup embodies both form and function to brighten up the breakfast table. Enamel specialist Halcyon Days produces a limited edition Easter Egg Box every year, and the 2020 edition pays homage to the decorative ceiling of the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace. Every object tells a story and has the potential to spark the imagination of its beholder.

HOME COMFORTS

Staying at home doesn’t mean we can’t all still enjoy the four-day Easter weekend. Turn the bank holiday into a luxurious staycation with our selection of gifts to encourage a little pampering and relaxation time. A long leisurely soak in the bathtub will mark a change from the quick daily shower, and adding two teaspoons of Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet bath oil will fill any bathing space with the invigorating scent of lemon, black pepper and pine to refresh and revive the body and mind. Upgrade your loungewear with Crockett & Jones’ calf leather house slippers, lined with luxurious quilted red velvet; and unwind over a few games of backgammon on Smythson’s beautiful backgammon roll, crafted from crossgrain and nubuck leathers.
