Sunshine and lighter evenings means rosé season, and this makes a lovely Easter drink that feels a little bit more special than your average bottle of wine, as one Tesco customer says: “My first impression was that the wine looked expensive and great for a celebration. The drink was very fizzy and had a crisp, fruity flavour.
“We used the wine for a toast at a family birthday and it went down well,” they added. “Best of all – no hangover the next day.”
Tie-front tops are a huge fashion trend at the moment, and these cute PJs from Chelsea Peers let you try the style at night, too. Made from 100% seeksucker cotton with a subtle starfish print, they;ll keep you feeling cool and comfortable at night, with shoppers saying they fit true to size.
You can also buy them from Marks & Spencer and ASOS.
TikTok-viral beauty brand Laneige – best known for its Lip Sleeping Masks – also makes some equally impressive skincare products, and the latest to launch is this super-hydrating, ‘youth-preserving’ serum that promises a plumper, juicier, more radiant complexion.
This lightweight formula claims to result in skin that is, according to Laneige, ‘visibly plumper, firmer and smoother’, while also tackling ‘early line formation’.
If you’re looking for a pair of shoes for upcoming weddings, garden parties or holidays, we love these mid-height heels from M&S, which tick several key SS25 fashion trends: butter yellow, square toe, 90s minimalism. Shoppers are praising their “nice style, heel height and shape”.
This colour-adapting lip balm, now something of a beauty cult classic, makes a lovely luxury beauty treat without committing to the rich pigment of a lipstick. It adapts to individual wearers’ own lips to create a custom subtle pink shade, and has all the nourishing properties of an intensive lip balm.
If you’re buying someone flowers this Easter, why not also give them something pretty to put them in? These handmade ceramic bud vases will each hold a few statement stems, and they look just as good as decorative items when empty, too.
Got someone you really want to treat this spring? This new scent from Bvlgari is certain to wow them. Inspired by friendships, it’s a wearable woody, floral fragrance with pretty notes of peonies, musk, Sicilian mandarin and patchouli.
If you don’t like spending a lot of money on sunglasses (perhaps you always break them or lose them), this fun pink pair from River Island are just the thing. With their chunky frame, gold-trimmed arms and lightly tinted lenses, they’re an excellent way to add an interesting accessory to a simple spring outfit.
Home fragrance always makes a gorgeous gift, and reed diffusers are typically longer lasting – and safer – than candles. This new launch from Hebridean bath, body and skincare brand Ishga has a fresh, spa-like scent inspired by coastline of the Outer Hebrides, with an uplifting blend of lemongrass, lavender, rose geranium and juniper berry essential oils.
Serving up some delicious food this Easter? How about something stylish to put it on, like this plate from quirky homeware store Rockett St George? We think it looks just as good as a decorative item in your kitchen or dining room once dinner’s over, too.
A pastel cardigan is a wardrobe must-have in spring, when it’s warm enough to ditch the thick jumpers, yet still a bit too chilly to go bare-armed. We love this cool pastel yellow-green colour, and the wool-cashmere blend makes it super high quality.
