Spring is officially here, which means Easter is just around the corner! Prepare for the holiday (or any other springtime celebration) with our list of go-to goodies sure to help you have a hoppy Easter. Without further ado, it’s time to tiptoe through the tulips, hard-boil some eggs and pop a bottle of bubbly!
EGGS: It may go without saying, but eggs are perhaps the #1 Easter essential. Not just for dying (though we have some fun tips on that, too), eggs can also take center stage on a marvelous menu! Get cooking with egg salad, quiche and other eggstraordinary recipes.
FLOWERS: Bring your favorite spring flowers inside with a visit to our Floral Department! Along with beautiful seasonal bouquets, we also offer petite potted plants like our 4-inch Rose in Tin and consumer bunches (bundles of all one type of flower) so you can make your own perfect arrangement.
BASKETS: Did you know we offer authentic African market baskets? These beautiful, colorful baskets are hand-woven by women in the town of Bolgatanga in upper-east Ghana using locally grown straw and traditional skills handed down from generation to generation. Sustainability meets style!
CHOCOLATE: Whether it’s for filling baskets or festive baking, now’s the time to stock up on chocolate! Prep your pantry with premium baking chips and bars from brands like Guittard, Ghirardelli or Lily’s, or get straight to eating with Bonne Maman Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, Unreal Chocolate Gems, Sanders Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels, Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares or Sauce, Lindt, Darrell Lea, TCHO or Tony’s Chocolonely Chocolate Bars, and every other form of cocoa you can think of!
BUBBLES: From sipping sparkles to mixing mimosas, we have all the right wines and spirits to make your holiday stand out. Try Le Grand Courtâge Brut Rosé for a smooth sip with fresh, fruity sweetness, serve Schramsberg’s line of sparkling wines for a California-grown classic or go alcohol-free with Giesen 0% Sparkling Brut for a crisp, citrusy effervescence.
CARDS & BAGS: Last but not least, spread the springtime vibes both near and far with a little help from Papyrus! Their elegant and adorable themed gift bags add a little festive flair to any present and their cards feature beautiful, silly and thoughtful sentiments perfect for wishing everyone on your list a hoppy Easter.
