Fenwick, Northumberland Street
As you’d imagine, Fenwick’s selection of Easter eggs and all manner of Easter-related goodies will leave you shell-shocked with joy. Luxuriate in a gourmet Venchi egg, which come with hidden treats embedded in the chocolate inside; treat the kids to an adorable seasonal Jellycat; or for grown-ups looking for something tempting give Kocktail’s bottled cocktails a try.
Hotel Chocolat, Blackett Street
The byword when it comes to indulgence, Hotel Chocolat’s Extra Thick range are extra tasty too, and come stuffed with mini chocolates in flavours including rocky road, dark chocolate and champagne. For those of you who can’t make up your mind, the Easter Sleekster selection box contains 30 small chocolate eggs, or why not give a chocolate sandwich a go? Vegans are well catered for too, with the Unbelievably Vegan (and no doubt unbelievably delicious) egg!
John Lewis, Eldon Square
John Lewis’ range of delightful Easter hampers will make any foodie swoon, and the Cartwright & Butler Easter Hamper contains all kinds of sugary joy from mini chocolate eggs to crispy wafer rolls, plus English Breakfast tea to wash it all down with! As well as Hotel Chocolat goodies, you can also pick up delights from the choco-licious Lindt range, marzipan eggs and bunnies from Niederegger and Montezuma’s peanut butter and salted caramel mini eggs.
Poundland, Clayton Street
Easter fun needn’t cost the earth, and Poundland’s superb range of cost-effective eggs will ensure everyone in the family can enjoy a treat. As well as big name chocolate brands you can also pick up Easter-themed delights you never knew you needed, like Easter bunny ornaments, Easter activity pack or colourful bonnet! The budget chain is a great place to stock up for Easter egg hunts, with a huge variety of fun and silly toys too!
Lush, Eldon Square
Lush’s heavenly smelling shops are a treat at any time of the year, and they’re not ones to miss out on a great opportunity for a new product! Their Dragon’s Egg Bath Bombs offer a great eggs-cuse to get cosy, and settle in for a spot of pampering, while the Rock Star Rabbit soap adds a tuneful touch to any bathroom. Plus, there’s loads of options for seasonal gifting too, like Chris the Carrot, who comes complete with four limited edition Easter bath treats and a carrot chum! Now where are those fluffy bunny slippers?!
Marks & Spencer, Northumberland Street
Marks & Spencer’s Easter treats also run to more than just delicious chocolate eggs – we’re big fans of their Extremely Chocolatey range – which does exactly what it promises, and delivers a sugar-rush of chocolate heaven. For something a little different, try their delicious Outrageously Chocolately Biscuity-Egg, which comes loaded with crunch shortcake biscuits! The store also stocks cute decorative bunting perfect for your Easter party, and even a Percy Pig Egg Hunt Pouch, ideal for the traditional Easter egg hunt!
Knoops, Grainger Street
Prefer to drink your chocolate, rather than eat it? Then fret not, for Knoops has you covered! Their best-selling chocolate flakes range from a creamy 28% white chocolate, to the super-rich 100% extra dark, so there really is something for everyone here. Plus, they’re designed to be made into hot chocolates, iced chocolate and milkshakes – perfect for enjoying year-round! Why not head into their Grainger Street store and give one a whirl before you stock up on a tub?
Whittards of Chelsea, Eldon Square
Aside from tea and coffee, out-of-this-world hot chocolate is a Whittards’ speciality, so if Easter Eggs aren’t your jam, then why not head here? If you can think of it, then chances are they’ve probably got a flavour for it! Newbies on the Whittards’ scene include hot honey hot chocolate, and mango flavoured white hot chocolate to get those tastebuds working overtime. If you’re after a gift for the hot chocolate aficionado in your life, then the signature hot chocolate hamper is sure to keep anyone sweet!
Olive & Bean, Clayton Street
When the eggs have been eaten and the hot chocolate drank, you’re probably left wondering how else someone could possibly indulge even more this Easter. Enter; Olive & Bean. These brilliant bakers love a seasonal cake slice, so if you’re mooching through the Toon and looking for a pit stop, don’t be surprised to find Easter themed goodies here! Our odds are on some Simmel cake, and a colourful Battenburg topped with some fondant carrots perhaps? We can’t wait to see what creations they come up with!
Rituals, Eldon Square
Rituals has gone all out this Easter with their egg-stra special packaging! Whether you’re gifting for yourself or a friend, their range might not be so chocolately, but is just as sweet. The Ritual of Sakura egg comes complete with foaming shower gel, body cream and travel eau de parfum – all in their iconic cherry blossom and rice milk scent – while their Ritual of Mehr egg arrives with foaming shower gel, body cream and two car air fresheners, to carry its sweet orange and cedar wood scent with you, wherever you go.
So whether you’re an egg-hunter or a bunny lover, there are plenty of fun Easter treats in Newcastle to make your celebrations egg-ceptional!
