Cracking Easter ideas

and, just like Christmas, pulling crackers before lunch isn’t going to change that.

The important thing is that modern Easter-themed home accessories can add to the enjoyment of friends and families getting together to celebrate, says Sainsbury’s Home buyer Rebecca Henchey.

“Easter is a great opportunity for families to come together.

“You don’t need to break the bank in order to add a few seasonal touches to the home and it is a quick and easy way to make the occasion extra special.”

So whether you’re buying Easter Bunny hunt treats, faux flowers for table decorations or splashing out on cutlery and crockery for the big family lunch, we wish you a Happy Easter... only 268 sleeps until Christmas!
