The Alternative Easter Gift Guide

Affiliate Links PR Sample

*I was gifted the items in exchange for this alternative Easter gift guide. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Last year I shared with you my Easter gift guide full of chocolatey goodness. But this year, as we are trying to eat more healthily I’ve thought I would share with you an alternative Easter gift guide. With little Dottie turning 1 year old in just over a week, it’s time for me to shift some baby weight. Mr B has already been cutting out chocolate and other sugary snacks and has lost over 2 stone. The girls will be having a small egg each, it is Easter after all! But here are some other alternative Easter gift ideas for you. Including Easter personalised gifts and toys.

The Alternative EASTER Gift Guide

Pear & Chocolate Colomba

Instead of giving an Easter egg this year, why not go for an alternative foodie gift such as this Pear and Chocolate Colomba? It’s an Italian Easter cake studded with juicy pieces of candied Williams pear. The finishing touch is an indulgent white chocolate topping with dark chocolate chips.

Colomba di Pasqua, or ‘Easter Doves’, are traditional dove-shaped Italian Easter cakes. Colomba is traditionally made with yeast and eggs, like panettone, but are topped with sugar icing or chocolate. Colomba undergo a quadruple-leavening process to make the finished cake exceptionally light and airy.

Available from Sous Chef

RRP: £19.95
