Scandinavian Easter Gifts: Ideas Beyond the Chocolate Egg

If you're looking for something a little more lasting than chocolate — either as a gift for someone else or a treat for yourself — we've some lovely ideas for Easter this year.
Starting with rabbits, because it's Easter
GRY & SIF HANGING FELT BOY BUNNY WITH CARROT BACKPACK
GRY & SIF HANGING FELT GIRL BUNNY WITH SNOWDROP
Gry & Sif's handmade wool felt rabbits are full of personality — the boy and girl bunnies are hard to choose between. They're lovely hung on a branch or wreath, and make a beautiful Easter gift for anyone who appreciates something handcrafted.

FLENSTED MOBILE CIRCULAR BUNNIES
Flensted's bunny mobile is a perennial favourite — the kind of thing that earns a permanent spot in a home long after Easter. Or for a more grown-up take, have a look at the sculptural Drifting Clouds or colourful UN17 Balance.
MAILEG PLUSH SLEEPING BUNNY SMALL SOFT BROWN
The Maileg plush sleeping bunny in soft brown is perfect for babies and young children — beautifully made and the kind of thing that gets kept long after childhood. Or have a look at the rest of our Maileg collection - any of the mice are gifts to be treasured.
Hoptimist Bunny White Small
Hoptimists are designed to bring happiness and nothing could be better for sharing the joy of spring than a cheerful, bouncing rabbit. We also have a version in oak as well as a host of other cheery characters.
Something for the home
PLUTO SET OF 4 CERAMIC EGG CUPS MOOMIN LOVE
Start Easter Sunday morning - and every other morning - with a cheering dose of Moomin happiness. These beautifully illustrated, colourful egg cups make a great gift, but are also just really lovely things to have and use yourself.
BROSTE EGON EGG FIGURE CANDLES, BUTTER YELLOW (SET OF 4)
Table decorations and candles in one — these egg-shaped candles in butter yellow are a cheerful Easter gift that doubles as a table decoration. Also available in white and green.
BROSTE TULIP CANDLE HOLDER PINK & SAGE SMALL
You can't get much more spring-like than tulips. These cheerful tulip candleholders from Broste Copenhagen come in two sizes and two colours - pink or yellow.
KOSTA BODA LIMELIGHT TULIP VASE CLEAR
Speaking of tulips, if you're looking for a seasonally-appropriate gift with serious design credentials, a tulip vase from Swedish glass experts Kosta Boda is something that will last and last.
ORREFORS MIDSUMMER MINI VASES
Orrefors is another exceptional Swedish glass maker, and these miniature vases are exquisite. Available either as a pack of 7 or as individual pieces, each is named after a different meadow flower, and reflect the Scandinavian tradition of gathering seven blooms for Midsummer. Beautiful.

LOVI 34CM FLOWER WALL DECORATION, PINK
A Lovi flower is a particularly lovely Easter gift — beautiful enough to leave up long after spring, and the flat-pack design makes it easy to post or wrap. Available in different sizes and in pink, green and natural wood.
GRY & SIF FELT APPLE BRANCH
Gry & Sif's felt apple branch is a lovely gift in its own right — and if you'd like to see more of their branches, blooms and botanicals, browse the full Gry & Sif collection.
Now sold out but the Gry & Sif wisteria branch is similar, or the Gry & Sif Hollyhock flower is a lovely alternative
It's also worth having a look at some of the decorations in our Easter table guide - any of them would also make a lovely Easter gift.
Something fragrant
SKANDINAVISK FJORD 200G SCENTED CANDLE
If you want something fragrant, Skandinavisk Fjord captures that fresh, open-air feeling of early spring in a candle. A lovely gift for anyone who appreciates a good candle — and a gentle nod to the season without being obviously 'Easter'.
Fjord is also available as a hand cream, wash and diffuser, or as part of the Skandinavisk Escape mini candle gift set if you're looking for something else to give.
