I love Easter! Childhood memories come to mind of waking up to the smell of Hot-cross buns and Easter treasure hunts. I remember my brother not particularly fond of this game, but my sister and I loved it! Even as teenagers, and way too grown up for any kind of game with our parents, our yearly Easter hunt was a tradition. We looked forward to it, made sure our parents never forgot this special day and urged them every year to make it harder for us to find. We worked hard and as a team, looking in trees, behind rocks, tucked away in the herb garden, in the post box and if it was raining inside behind or under the couch, in cupboards, hanging from the lamp shades or on window sills. At age 19 (myself) and 23 (my sister) our Easter hunts had came to a standstill. The Hot-cross buns were still there, the Easter eggs made up in pretty little bags or left on our beds but the memory of Easter and the fun we had never escaping our memories.

This year, I have started a little tradition of my own. My husband gets to wake up to the smell of freshly made Hot-cross buns every “Easter Friday”. If you are not particularly fond of baking or need a quick solution, Woolworths stocks a super easy Hot Cross bun Kit (see pictures above) which also makes for a perfect gift if you are going away to visit friends or family over Easter. Woolworths also offers a range of other beautiful Easter gifts for kids and adults alike.
Happy Easter! If you are on the roads be safe!
