The Ultimate Easter Breakfast in Bed

Imagine waking up to the soft morning light, cocooned in a luxurious wool blanket. Now, add a breakfast tray with all the trimmings: a freshly toasted hot cross bun, some artisan preserves, and a pot of your favourite tea. It's these small touches that transform a simple breakfast in bed into a feast fit for Easter.

Thoughtful Gifts Beyond the Easter Eggs

Yes, Easter chocolates are a treat, but why not give something that lasts longer than that fleeting sugar rush? A colourful British-made wool blanket is the kind of gift that keeps on giving, offering a warm hug on a chilly evening or a splash of colour on a drab day.

Creating Memories Together

Easter's a perfect time for creating new traditions. If the weather's fine, get outdoors for the first picnic of the year, complete with a spread of nibbles and and your trusty picnic rug? Ours have a waterproof backing, because this is the UK after all! Visit the National Trust website to discover picnic spots near you with its handy date selector to check your choice is open over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

Decorate Your Home For Easter

A touch of greenery can work wonders in making your home feel like a springtime haven. A few sprigs of blossom, a bowl of flowering bulbs, and a pastel wool throw casually draped over a chair instantly add pretty spring colour and a fresh feel.
