Easter Gift Ideas completely unrelated to Easter

In my house, Easter has never been much of a big deal. Growing up I always got to do an Easter Egg Hunt which my parents had planted for me the night before, but you didn't get presents or anything like that, purely a few chocolate eggs. But I realise this is not the case for everyone!! Some of my friends used to get all sorts of things for Easter. So I thought I'd do a little gift guide, because nobody wants to do anything extravagant for Easter, but it's nice to make someone smile and show you put in a bit of thought. However before you continue you should know that these gifts are really completely unrelated to Easter, as in there are no chocolate eggs or the like, and it's just a bit of fun! Still, hope you enjoy!

#1 - A sassy new bag

I've chosen to include a couple from the brand Skinny Dip because they really are a fantastic brand. Everything they do is so fun and light-hearted. So here are a couple of bags I absolutely love. They're not to expensive but they are a perfect addition to any handbag collection for SS16.

#2 - Iron-on patches and pin badges

I'm seeing this emerging trend of DIY denim jackets, bomber jackets and ringer tees decorated with cute and sassy iron-on patches, and I completely love it! I particularly love these quirky ones from the Ohh Deer X ASOS range.

#3 - Candles

Candles are always a safe bet, and easily please a lot of people. They are also inexpensive, but you can really consider the person you are buying for, whether you're looking for a particular scent or colour, or even a candle in the shape of something. I love these flower-shaped tea lights and colour dripping candles from Urban Outfitters.

#4 - New sunnies

Summer is approaching, and now is the time that all the gorgeous sunglasses are hitting the shops. I work in retail and I can tell you everyone is buying them already, so go get 'em. My favourite brand for sunglasses at the moment is Quay Australia, however I am going crazy for these floral ones from Jeepers Peepers, available on ASOS.

#5 - Holiday things

Maybe you've got a holiday planned in the next few months. I know a lot of people who have already booked their trips and breaks for the year. So here are a couple of fun gifts that you could buy for a partner or a friend if you're going on holiday by Sunnylife.

#6 - De-stressing gifts

We all need some down-time, and it's so nice for others to realise that. So a colouring book is a great idea for a gift. I've been meaning to get myself one, I bet it's so nice to be relaxed and have something fun and creative to concentrate on with such ease. But if you're a bit too silly for that, there's a pug stress ball down there too!

#7 - Special Easter Breakfast

Breakfast is one of the best meals of the day because it is when foods like bacon, waffles, Nutella and pancakes seem to be the most acceptable, not necessarily together mind you. Breakfast is so underrated, so if you want to make someone feel special this Easter, go all out and make them a lovely breakfast because I bet you don't have work, so there's no excuse not to! I plan to make these amazing pancakes >> https://www.zoella.co.uk/2016/02/pancakes-3-ways.html I saw them on one of Zoella's blogs and I need them!
