FAQs

When is Easter 2024?

Easter Sunday this year is on 31 March 2024, with Good Friday falling on 29 March and Easter Monday being 1 April. As Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays, we have a lovely long weekend to enjoy Easter celebrations with the family. That means there's plenty of time to tuck into good food, go on Easter egg hunts and crack into a chocolate egg or two.

Can I make my own Easter hamper?

If none of our Easter hamper picks have taken your fancy, why not create your own? It offers a great way to personalise the gift to the recipient and if they have certain dietary requirements, such as needing gluten-free or Vegan chocolate gifts, you're able to tailor it full of things you know they can indulge in with no issues.

• Chocolate eggs
• Jelly sweets and gummies
• Easter-themed cookies or biscuits
• Speciality tea or coffee
• A new mug or cup
• Spring candle
Easter decorations for the home
• Bunny or chick plush toys (if you're gifting to a child or a family with children)
