Forget the image of the tired cane basket filled with obscure chutneys and creatively named wafers, the humble hamper has moved on thanks in no small part to companies like Bockers and Pony who produce a range of distinctive and stylish hampers and gift boxes for pretty much any occasion. For Easter, look out for a collection of fab gift boxes including "Bunny Bonanza" and "Choc a Lot" packed full of decadent chocolate delights. There are also some tempting individual gifts on offer including retro sweets and an oh-so-sweet plush toy bunny.

For a new twist on the Easter chocolate exchange, visit this e-store for my latest fab find - chocograms! Originating in the Netherlands, this concept enables you to create your own Easter message using Belgian chocolate letters. Messages can contain up to 30 letters and for the total wow factor, have your chocogram delivered in one of the store's "chocomazing" wooden boxes.

If you like your Easter with a crafty twist, log onto Etsy, an innovative online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade. Search for "easter" and you'll find everything from sets of beautiful retro style fabric eggs and cashmere bunnies to easter hunt invitations and wooden rabbit puzzles. Many featured items are not available elsewhere online making this site the place to go for unique and limited edition gifts.

For Easter or non-Easter party supplies, take a look at what's on offer at this increasingly impressive e-store. Shop for Easter-themed products including cookie cutter sets and Easter egg moulds, or cast the net a little wider for party stationery, decorations, lanterns, bunting, and favours for every occasion. Shop by brand or event and be sure to check out the "On Sale" department for some great buys.

Forget the fuzzy bunnies and Easter egg hunt, if you really want to impress your nearest and dearest, check out the range of experiences on offer at Red Balloon Days. Of over 1500 unique experiences on offer, Easter-themed activities include an indulgent chocolate walking tour, a half-day chocolate making workshop, and a chocolate fondue and martini session for two.
