Ahead of Easter, a season known for guilty indulgences, Australia’s largest online retailer of delivered flowers and gifts is encouraging people not to put all their eggs in one basket when it comes to gifting.

Roses Only has shared their expert advice on how consumers can explore alternative options to personalise their gifts and think outside of the basket when it comes to tradition.

CEO Kelly Taggart says there are many ways to make someone’s Easter special with and without the inclusion of chocolate.

“Chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and sweet treats are the traditional gifts to give over Easter, but if you want to personalise or add some sentiment to your gift there are some simple ways to achieve that,” says Ms Taggart.

“Depending on what message you want to convey, gifted flowers always speak volumes in terms of love, endearment and well wishes.

“A thoughtful gift for friends and relatives is our Posies or Burst of Colour Teacups, they are simple, adorable and a lovely way to show affection.” 

Roses Only says other ways to gift over Easter include seasonal fruit, wine and gourmet food hampers, Fruit hampers with Lindt Bunnies, bubbles and chocolate hampers and more.

“Your Easter gifts can still be indulgent but thinking about who you are gifting to and what they enjoy is important if you want to personalise or make that gift special,” says Ms Taggart.

“If you know someone who appreciates candles, face masks and a soak in the tub, they would love our Getaway Pamper Hamper or Premium Pink Pamper Gift Hamper.

“For someone who enjoys a night on the sofa watching sports or a movie, our Balter Beer and Snack Gift Hamper is ideal.

“We also offer Easter Eggs with Flowers, which ticks all the boxes if you’re wanting to make a chocolate lover feel special.

“If you’re aiming to make an impact, whether you’re gifting to a friend, family member or another loved one, it’s lovely to receive a gift that’s thoughtful.”
