Easter Eggs

Pâques, Pâques, Pâques

Easter is only a few days away, despite weather giving us no indication, and with Easter, come the usual worries: What type of chocolate should I buy? What if they don’t like chocolate? What should I serve on the day? What drinks should I be getting? I have not booked something yet but I would love to get away from London. Where could I possibly go at such short notice?
 
Yes, a Fabergé egg would be a perfect gift but if you are not one of the lucky people working for one of the big banks who gave their employees millions in bonuses, it might be a little out of your league. What else could you lavishly dish out which won’t cost you an arm and a leg? Don't worry; here are some affordable ideas which might do the trick.
