Every culture and family have different traditions for celebrating Easter. I want to make the most that I can to have a perfect holiday, trying to bond with family and friends, and also, to make everyone happy and satisfied. I try to make tasty food, decorate the home, set the table with Easter decorations, etc.
This is my shopping list with all the essentials for celebrating Easter. I hope it will be of great help to you to have a perfect celebration this year.
Egg Dye
This item is the most important thing you need for this Holiday. Purchasing good quality colors is essential, so the eggs will look good, even if you don’t continue with extra decorating.
There a lot’s of painting kits for decorating eggs, so that you can include your children in all the work. It will be fun for every member of the family. Also, you can organize egg dying and painting party with friends so you can make this holiday to be a fun way to bond with everyone.
Egg Baskets
After dying and decorating the eggs, put them in beautiful baskets, filled with artificial grass filler (or you can grow your own grass by sprouting wheat seeds).
Chocolate Bunnies and Eggs
What’s Easter without chocolate eggs and bunnies? I just love them. This year I’m very ambitious, and I will try to make homemade chocolate eggs and bunnies. I have polycarbonate molds, and I already bought three types of couverture chocolate for tempering: dark, white and ruby. If they turn out ok, I will gladly share the process of making them with you.
Easter Home/Garden Decorations
Few weeks before Easter, I decorate my home with spring and Easter themed stuffs, like pillows, little rabbit ornaments, garden decorations, etc., and keep them until the summer starts.
Easter Mugs
I have themed mugs for every occasion: Christmas, Valentine, birthday, spring, summer, autumn, motherhood, etc. Some of them are handmade (I use special colors for ceramics), some are store brought. Easter mugs can be fun to make at home; there are endless designs you can draw and paint. But if you’re not that into handmade crafts, or if you’re don’t have time for such activities, it’s best to buy few already decorated mugs, and enjoy your morning coffee or tea.
Easter Table Decor
For the Easter Sunday Lunch, the whole family is gathered, and traditionally we cook lamb every year. I want to give accent to the table decor; I put Easter or Spring themed tablecloth, use Easter themed plates and napkins. Also, I put some decorations, like small baskets with eggs, flowers, bunny shaped napkin holder, bunny shaped salt&pepper shakers, and everything else that is suitable for the occasion.
Easter Clothes and Jewelry
I’m all into holidays, so buying themed Easter clothes sounds like an enjoyable thing to do, especially if you have kids. There are lots of choices on internet stores, for an adult and children sizes too.
Easter Jewelry
For me, as a woman, I think it is inevitable to have some piece of jewelry for this holiday. Necklace and earrings in a bunny shape are my favorite.
Easter Children Books
You can buy thousands of Easter children books with wonderful illustrations the kids will love. Make your kids happy, read to them Easter books this time of the year. It will be fun for you too.

Hmm, those egg moulds look really interesting and I bet you can use them for many other treats not just melted chocolate. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Thank you. I haven’t tried making anything else except chocolate in these molds. But I guess you can use them for something else. Maybe jelly? 🙂
Wow! This is mind blowing. So many options. Will definitely try one of these.
Thanks. Hope the list will be helpful.
Wishing you a Happy Easter as well! I have such great memories surrounding Easter as a child…it was so much fun! We always baked homemade braided Easter bread, had lamb butters for the table, & of course Easter basket hunts in the morning! So much fun!

Decorating for the holidays is my favorite past time – especially Christmas and Easter!
Great list!

Thanks. It’s my favorite past time too. These two holidays are full of magic
Since we have children Easter has a more meaning and the house is full of Easter chocolate eggs, I didn’t know there were also books related to it. I think it’s a cute idea to integrate during this time of the year 🙂

These are great Easter item recommendations! I especially like the classic Tale of Peter Rabbit book! I feel like this is a book everyone who celebrates Easter should own!

Thanks. If you have children this book is a great choice.
I love your choices!! You found some really cute things.
Thanks. I tried to choose stuff I really like and think they would be of use for everyone
I love those pillows! I trade out for different holidays and don’t have one for Easter yet
Yes, they’re great. You need only pillow cases, and you can make a collection for every holiday.
