Embrace the new season with fun days out at Fort Kinnaird.

It’s also the place to find special menus, cocktails and dining spots for evenings out with friends, too (cocktail masterclass at Fridays, noodles at wagamama and Italian menus at Tony Macaroni).

Whether you’re searching for Harry Potter, Marvel superheroes or Paw Patrol eggs or need dairy-free, vegan, diabetic-friendly or luxury creations, Fort Kinnaird’s stores including WH Smith have you covered.

Marks & Spencer has a fun chocolate range for every budget including new designs such as Curly the Puppy, Chocosaurus Rex and Colin The Caterpillar egg hunt buckets plus bottles of Prosecco, Easter hampers and flower bouquets for grown-ups.

Hotel Chocolat’s new range includes cute chocolate Pen Pals and bunnies, filled eggs and the Velvetiser hot chocolate gift and Holland & Barrett is the place to find alternative eggs and boxes (see their vegan egg round up here).

For sugar-free alternative gifting, find teddies, dolls and building delights at Claire’s, Argos and Smyths Toys.

4. Easter crafting and egg hunts

Make your own at-home egg hunts, create Easter bonnets and baskets, paint your own eggs, design cards with the kids and generally be inspired by craft ideas from Hobbycraft, WH Smith, Typo and Waterstones (which has lots of creative books for every age).

5. Easter decorating

Bring spring to your home with Easter wreaths for your front door, uplifting bunting, beautiful tablescaping, flowers and decorations (get inspired with #easterdecor on Instagram). Head to HomeSense, Next, Marks & Spencer, The Leith Collective and ProCook for fresh new takes on interior trends.

6. Spring wardrobes and beauty refreshes for Easter

Give your spring wardrobe a 2023 refresh – unexpected metallics, zingy pastels (think limes and lilacs), low-rise jeans, oversize bucket bags and ballet-inspired shoe designs are going to be huge this year so lead the looks with Marks & Spencer, Next, H&M, River Island, New Look, Primark and TK Maxx and accessories from Claire’s, Swarovski, Beaverbrooks, Goldsmiths and H Samuel.

There are also really cute kids’ creations (who can resist a bunny-eared cardigan for babies) at Marks & Spencer, Mamas & Papas and Next.

Upgrade your beauty bag in this season’s colour-popping bright lip and nail shades or invest in 2023’s multitasking skin products at Boots, TK Maxx and Superdrug. Spring has arrived!
