Non-Chocolatie (don't groan!) Easter Pressies

Whilst we love chocolate (or "co co" as Charles referred to it from an embarassingly early age - many moons before he could say "mummy" ) in our house, it does sometimes seem that the Easter bunny is somewhat of a cocoa pusher, as friends and family seem to creep out of the woodwork offering chocolate delights in abundance. Not that I'm complaining of course (please keep them coming), this will be my 5th Easter as a Mum and I'm no stranger to defending their darling teeth by scoffing some myself, God I'm selfless!


Anyway if you are looking for some un-sugary Easter pressies here's some of my fave suggestions...
