Festive cuteness from Melrose & Morgan

Between its simnel cakes, Easter gingerbread shapes, pastel-coloured praline eggs from Rococo and giant chocolate eggs filled with truffles from Charbonnel et Walker, hip grocers Melrose & Morgan have all the ingredients that north Londoners (you'll find them in Primrose Hill and Hampstead) need to tick off your Easter gifting and hosting. Shop your favourites or pick up a hamper and enjoy the full range.

A touch of Scandi from Gåva

For sustainable gifting with Scandi class, look to these gorgeously patterned tins from Gåva (pronounced 'gaw-vah'). Meaning ‘gift’ in Swedish, Gåva does away with the notion Easter gifting is all about chocolate (don't worry though, chocolate pralines are part of the range), instead offering leopard-print, stripy or botanical eggs filled with Pick & Mix; Cocktail Gummies; or mini bottles of gin and tonic. The best bit? You can refill them again next year.

Low-key, Fairtrade crowd-pleasers from Tony's

Tony's Chocolate has taken the industry by storm with its Willy Wonka-esque packaging, chunky texture, indulgent flavours and promise of 100% slave-free chocolate (alas, more of a rarity than you'd think). Enjoy a range of Tony's flavours this Easter with its assorted box of Tony's Chocolonely Egg-stra Special Chocolate Eggs. Pretzel toffee, raspberry popping candy and sea salt all feature.

Truffles and treats from Rococo

London's Rococo chocolatier has implemented free express delivery to ensure no one has to wait to enjoy the finest chocolate. The classic eggs are unbeatable, with salted milk, Moroccan mint dark chocolate and a variety of flavours, with truffles inside, all presented in a blue and white gift box. And the 'quail eggs' are a delicious combination of French praline and crisp sugar shell.

Pretty painted eggs from Liberty

Liberty's offers a great selection from London's most esteemed chocolatiers. Choose from the exquisitely painted Bouja Bouja fine de champagne truffles, vegan Easter egg or perhaps Rococo's A Leap of Lambs White Chocolate Nibble Bag. And for the adults? It's got to be Charbonnel et Walker's dark chocolate Easter egg with rose and violet creams.
