A Guide to Easter 2020

*Ad- Gifted. All opinions are my own.

Let’s face it, Easter 2020 is not going to be like other years. I had all the plans of writing this and encouraging big family meet ups and trips to the park with friends. This of course cannot be the case, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and make the best of the situation and still try and make it really good and magical for the little one’s be it in your home or garden. So, I have rethought my ideas and adapted them to make sure the suggestions I am making stay in line with the Covid-19 guidelines but including fun to be had. So, here is my guide to Easter 2020.

Fun, practical carry bag for books, kit, shopping and more! Kids (and adults!) can enjoy adding their own colours to the hand-drawn world map scene with the included set of wash-out pens. When they’re ready for a new colour scheme, pen ink disappears completely in the machine – endless fun! Our tote bags also look great just as they are – making perfect adult shoppers too.

Get ready for breakfast with this delightful and utterly adorable Peter Rabbit Egg Cup Bamboo Dinner set. This set consist of an egg cup, a plate and spoon. – The perfect combination for your little one to enjoy their dippy eggs on a morning.

Cranes Cranberry & Blood Orange Liqueur is delicious and smooth. They have created the gorgeous Cranes Mocha Martini that is the perfect chocolately, alcoholic alternative to an Easter Egg this year. Try it out…

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ part Cranes Cranberry & Blood Orange Liqueur
• 1 part chocolate liqueur
• 1 part espresso coffee
• 1 part Vodka

Method:

Fill a martini glass with ice and set aside to chill

Pour Cranes Liqueur, chocolate liqueur, vodka and espresso coffee into a shaker

Then fill the shaker with ice and shake until cold (approximately 10 seconds)

Using a cocktail strainer, strain the liquid into a martini glass

Finally sit back and enjoy

7 Ate 9 is a quick-playing card game in everyone wants to rid themselves of cards as quickly as possible — but you can’t play just any card you want! Each card features a large numeral (1-10) as well as a smaller numeral in the corner (±1, ±2, or ±3).

To play, place one card face down in the center of the table, deal the remaining cards out evenly among all the players, then reveal the central card. Players race to add the next card to the central pile. A card with a large 5 and a ±2 in its corner, for example, could be covered by either a 3 or a 7 (since 5-2=3 and 5+2=7). The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.

The Chocolate Lolly Maker (SSP £17.99) lets you shape and make your own yummy lollies. It’s so simple to use – just melt, mould and wrap!

Simply melt some chocolate buttons (not included), scoop the melted chocolate into the moulds, making sure you include a lolly stick, and wait for them to cool.

When lockdown is over you’ll be dying to get out, so why not buy the gift of an experience to enjoy when all of this is over!

The ‘Mega Jump Sonic’ is the first of its kind, a whistling jump rope. The faster you jump, the louder the whistle. We’ve one-upped ourselves by adding the sonic feature onto the very popular ‘Mega Jump’ – taking jump rope to the next level with the same quality features you know and love. The vibrant colour combinations don’t go unnoticed and the innovative quick release mechanism allows you to adjust the rope to your height and ball bearing axles for smooth rotation.
