Sorry. I'm really sorry. That was naff. But, this week, that's all we can manage. We're just cracking up over here (sorry). Too much chocolate, too much sugar. It's all just so eggsausting... (last one, I promise)
After a delicious weekend in sunny York I'm fully primed for the spring mood. Chocolate and yellow window displays abounded, so I thought it only fair that we give you the roundup for online egg-buying in time for the weekend. You know you can do better than the supermarket's three for a £1 nonsense. Go upmarket and really wow your special self this weekend.
Small but perfectly formed are these Fun Eggs for Little People - £13.50 for two! I'm particularly drawn to these as the company, Chococo, summon the descriptive powers of Winnie the Pooh to detail their product. That is just fine in my books.
For non-chocophiles, how about the ever-popular stacking egg cups? Watch this space for a tutorial for making egg cosies to coordinate from my old jumper (that is living gorgeously, I promise) just as soon as I get my essay written this weekend.
If you're feeling really very special (and in need of an alcoholic antidote to the cocoa) try Fortnum's Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne and Miniature Chocolate Eggs. And you can use the very satisfyingly coloured box for threads, buttons, jewellery and suchlike and join the pretty organised pool with minimum effort!
And finally, if you're feeling in particular need of the flowers, the chocolate, the excessiveness and the indulgence, look no further than this fabulous £150 egg from Betty's Tea Rooms, seen proudly displayed behind glass in the York Tea Room this weekend. Though they deliver all manner of decadent hampers around the world, they're not willing to deliver this baby (can you imagine tripping outside the recipients' door?!) so it's limited to monied northerners. Fat Rascal anyone?
