The hunt
Easter is all about celebrating with purpose. And it’s easy with a choice of locally sourced handcrafted bags, masks and finger puppets, all carefully crafted by 8Tones, who harness and support the creative township economy and its vibrant entrepreneurs.
The handcrafted bags are particularly ideal for topping up with delicious chocolates and Easter eggs. But rest assured that 100% of their chocolate is made from responsibly sourced cocoa – better for farmers and for the planet.
Adding a dash of creativity to your Easter celebrations has never been easier. Create something as a family with the Biscuit Decorating Kit, cut by hands by members of the community in the heart of the Boland.
For the baking and craft enthusiasts who want to test their skills, try out the Bundt Cake Kit or the Easter Art Kit.
For those who love a good treat, Woolies Marshies™ will never disappoint. Crafted with care, these bite-sized odes to your childhood are made from free-range eggs and real chocolate.
If you haven’t already, give the Vanilla and Chocolate-flavoured Marshies™ Strip a try, it’s an absolute Easter favourite.
Add to this, an array of delicious giant chocolate eggs from Chuckles® and Fantasticals™ that come in different flavours, including malted puff, shortcake or dark chocolate. And don’t forget to try the Woolies Marshies™ Choc Bomb. It's choc-mouthful delight!
The Style
Easter-themed dress-up options abound with an array of bunny-inspired dresses and sleepsuits that will have your heart skipping a beat at the cuteness. The cotton used in these adorable pieces comes from the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a global non-profit organisation that stands as the champion of the planet's most extensive cotton sustainability program.
A delightful charm for the little ones is the Bunny Party Dress with a sling bag. Choose from a pair of Wellington ankle boots or novelty sneakers to complete the ensemble and gear them up for an Easter egg hunt that will keep their little feet on the go all day.
After an eventful day of Easter egg hunting and munching on sweet treats, wrap your little ones in snug and cozy sleepwear essentials like the Bunny tees 2 pack for girls or a 3-pack long-sleeve tiny vest with a matching 3-pack tiny bib pack. Explore an array of novelty gowns, slippers and PJ sets that transform bedtime into an exciting adventure, ensuring a comfy end to the day's Easter adventure.
