The Best Easter Decor, Gifts, and Candy of 2025

When you hear the words “holiday decor,” you likely think of the frostier festivities such as Christmas or Hanukkah — maybe Halloween and Saint Patrick’s Day come to mind. Easter is usually a pastel-tinted afterthought, resigned in the modern era to a small influx of plastic confetti grass and cheap chocolate eggs. But not this year, folks; in 2025, Easter decor is… looking pretty damn cool. Chic, even!

Why is it this year that we’re suddenly seeing a notable shift in cool Easter merch from brands like Maison Balzac, Compartés, and Gohar World? Unclear, but this we know: Easter decor thrives when it’s a little over-the-top. I’m accepting of the more low-key nods to holiday — think a plastic egg here, or a gingham tablecloth there. But the spring season in which Easter falls also marks our collective sigh of relief from winter, and the sudden reemergence of flora (and end to the early-sunset misery of Daylight Savings Time) is always worthy of celebrating with a pistachio chocolate Easter egg the size of a bowling ball, regardless of whether or not you own a rosary.

I’m not religious, but aspects of my altar boy childhood imprinted the power of ceremony and decorum into my little queer brain. There’s nothing casual about the way incense-swinging Roman Catholics dress up their spaces for the holiday, which is essentially the hard-launch of Jesus’ rebrand; hot cross buns dazzled my 10-year-old mind as the ultimate themed snack for the occasion. Meanwhile, at home, my mother’s annual lamb-shaped coconut cake felt darling and festive, albeit in a 1973 The Wicker Man way.

In lieu of a half-baked Easter spread this year, what if we assembled a chic smorgasbord of pom-pom-embellished egg cups, and served some Italian colomba di Pasqua cake? The Surrealist energy of Les Dîners de Gala by Salvador Dalí comes to mind…

Indeed, this year, tons of cool brands have caught on to the whimsy of Easter decor, desserts, and egg-themed ephemera, offering a notable plethora of festive offerings for the holiday. From chocolate fairy bunnies to a lace bottle apron, I’ve plucked the best Easter treats and tablescape items to make your festivities feel extra special this year. You don’t have to go full Fabergé, but there are plenty of little things you can do to level up from a few plastic eggs.

It’s Easter, and the egg needs its throne

Add this (relatively) affordable caviar to your eggs

Quince Royal Osetra Caviar 

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Caviar? From Quince? The company’s addition of Osetra caviar to its roster of home goods and style staples may seem out of character, but the direct-to-consumer site has always been making luxury items feel more accessible. Royal Osetra caviar is widely known as the Kobe beef of caviar thanks to its tongue-meltingly good consistency and delicate, bright taste, and it’s just begging to be dolloped over your Easter brunch scramble.   

Fanciful Easter sweets

This Italian Easter cake is like a springtime panettone

Olivieri 1882 Colomba Classica

Prices taken at time of publishing.

The family-owned, fifth-generation Veneto bakery Olivieri 1882 makes some of the fluffiest, most giftable panettones out there (the graphic boxes even come with designer-handbag-esque carrying handles), and all of its cakes are shipped to your home within 48 hours of being baked. This Easter, it is offering its lighter-than-air Colomba cake, which is a sweet bread filled with candied orange and sprinkled with hazelnuts, almonds, pine nuts, and a pearl sugar glaze. I call it the perfect breakfast cake because it’s sweet, but not overbearing, and while you can’t go wrong with the classic iteration, you can also order the Triple Chocolate, Apricot Salted Caramel, White Chocolate and Berries, and (the new) Easter Egg-Shaped Lemon & Wild Strawberry Colomba to impress at the family function. 

These chocolate eggs come in their own giftable carton

Tony’s Chocolonely Easter Eggs

Prices taken at time of publishing.

If you’re assembling an Easter basket and want to go beyond the classic handful of plastic, cheap chocolate-filled eggs, Tony’s Chocolonely just released this miniature carton of rainbow-wrapped milk chocolate Easter eggs with a variety of fillings that feel exciting (but not too grown-up), including caramel sea salt and raspberry popping candy.  

Luxury chocolate fairy bunnies > waxy chocolate

Vosges Milk Chocolate Fairy Bunnies Bundle

Prices taken at time of publishing.

The Beatrix Potter-obsessed child in me loves this bundle, which treats you to one bag of Vosges’ dairy-free Dark Chocolate Raspberry Fairy Bunnies and another bag of its Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Fairy Bunnies. 

A giant pistachio easter egg

Giada de Laurentiis goes big on chocolate eggs

Giadzy Large Chocolate Easter Egg

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Giada de Laurentiis’ fancy pantry brand Giadzy sure does deliver on wow factor (I stuffed my mother’s Christmas stocking with its gold foil-wrapped olive oil). Of course the former Food Network star has pulled out all the stops for Easter with these torso-sized, cellophane-wrapped, Italian-made chocolate eggs. 

Dress (the table) to impress

A high-quality ham is the ultimate centerpiece

Is it really Easter if there’s no ham? And is there anything more impressive than feasting upon one of Snake River Farms’ succulent, boneless centerpiece hams? They’re easy to slice and available in both half and whole portions.

The ultimate charcuterie board deserves the best cheese

Cowgirl Creamery Easter Hosting Cheese Collection

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Founded in 1997 in Northern California, Cowgirl Creamery is best known for its beloved triple-cream cheese Mt Tam, but it also makes an array of other delicious fromages. With the Easter Cheese Collection, you’ll receive the washed-rind, highly snackable Wagon Wheel; Central Coast Creamery’s tangy sheep’s milk cheese Ewenique; and, of course, Mt Tam. The set also includes organic Cowgirl Creamery crackers made by Rustic Bakery and Quince & Apple’s award-winning Tart Cherry and White Tea Conserve for a truly delicious, decadent, perfect-for-spring cheese plate.

This egg-venerating tabletop lighter

Edie Parker Egg Lighter

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Edie Parker makes all kinds of mouth-watering, jelly-inspired tabletop lighters, but this fun, kitschy lighter pays homage to hard-boiled eggs. 

Beeswax candles are a must

Speaking of festive candles…

Food-shaped candles are all the rage, and what better way to praise spring’s bounty than with these carrot- and asparagus-shaped tapered candles? Of course they’re beeswax, too, so they won’t smoke up the room.

Lettuce ware galore

Springtime cloth napkins for panache

Placemats that do the most

The most opulent-looking spreads include layers of fabric and texture, usually courtesy of a great tablecloth and placemat pairing. Look for colorful options such as this West Elm block-printed set, or this tulip-edged duo of placemats that looks like it was crocheted out of reeds by hedgehogs. Very Easter.

Dress up your budget beverage

Gohar World Lace Bottle Apron

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Here’s the plan: take that bottle of André Brut and slip it into Gohar World’s Battenberg lace apron for your Easter spread. It’s an over-the-top purchase, but I also love the idea of using the apron to dress up the bottles in rotation on your bar cart.

Happy hopping.
