Set the table for Easter feasts
From a fish supper on Good Friday and a roast on Easter Sunday to hot cross buns for breakfast, Easter is full of opportunities to gather with friends and family – and all it takes is a few simple touches to make the table look special. Get the kids to make place cards and menus for each meal. Add a table runner, placemats and napkins in natural fabrics and neutral hues. Secure napkins with napkin rings or turn them into bunny ears by tying them with a ribbon around a hardboiled egg. Decorate the table with bud vases filled with spring flowers and bowls filled with chocolate eggs. If the weather’s good, take the opportunity to spruce up your outdoor space and eat outside.
Bake up a storm
Perfect for mini chefs,our new Easter range is a choc-o-block with incr-egg-ible treats and fuss-free mixes so they can get creative in the kitchen during the school holidays. Try using the chocolate cake mix to make Easter cupcakes topped with cornflake cluster nests and colourful speckled eggs. Or add chocolate chunks to the brownie mix for extra indulgence, bake and then decorate with jazzy sprinkles and bubbly bunnies. Shop the Easter chocolate and baking collection from M&S at British Corner Shop.
Decorate your home for Easter
Decorations aren’t just for Christmas! Decorating your home for Easter will make the weekend feel even more special and celebratory, and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming or expensive. Simply arrange some twigs or branches of blossom in a glass vase and hang with pretty pastel egg decorations, fun felt Easter-themed decorations or gorgeous floral glass decorations. Buy a few seasonal pieces you can bring out every Easter like a pastel bunny mug or a sweet applique bunny cushion with a gingham design on the reverse. Send faraway friends and family a treat-filled Easter hamper or gift bag or a beautifully decorated Easter egg.
