The rise of the grown-up Easter
There’s something undeniably comforting about Easter. It’s low-pressure, light-hearted, and full of colour and chocolate. But these days, it’s not just kids racing around the garden. Bloom & Wild reveal their expert tips on how to host the ultimate Easter egg hunts for adults, as well as special Easter gifts to incorporate into the ultimate hunt!
How to host an Easter egg hunt for adults
Ready to embrace the egg-citement? Here’s your guide to throwing a grown-up Easter egg hunt that’ll make your guests smile (and maybe feel just a little bit 8 years old again – in the best way).
1. Curate the prizes – Skip the basic supermarket eggs. Go luxe with:
- Mini bottles of fizz
- Artisan chocolates or truffles
- Skincare minis or wellness items
- Gift cards or scratch cards
- Scented candles, tea, or books
- Pro tip: Include one “golden egg” with a bigger prize for extra excitement.
2. Add some challenge – We’re not talking about hiding things in plain sight. Make guests work for it:
- Use riddles or clues
- Set up mini challenges at each egg station (e.g. trivia, mini games)
3. Set the mood – Create a springtime vibe with:
- Pastel bunting or floral tableware
- A laid-back playlist (think acoustic pop or light jazz)
- Signature drinks like sparkling elderflower or Easter cocktails
4. Wrap it up with a brunch or garden picnic – No Easter gathering is complete without food. Keep it simple with:
- Hot cross buns or pastries
- Devilled eggs or veggie quiche
- Fruit platters, sweet treats, and mimosas
