Easter Sunday falls on April 9, 2023 so time to start planning.

Absolutely disappointed that one of my favourites the M&S Cheese Eggs, with Barber’s Farmhouse Cheddar as whites and a vintage 18-month matured Red Leicester yolk hand-dipped in a duck egg blue wax ‘shell’, does not appear to be the stores. please correct me if I am wrong.

They are doing other plastic free eggs though.

You can find plastic free easter finds over here on Facebook tagged #plasticfreeeaster2023 Please do add and tag your own finds.

Eggs

Easter egg makers are far more environmentally aware than they used to be and it is now easily possible to buy plastic free eggs if you look for them.

If you cant find anything on your local shops these people supply plastic free food on line. Bet they have something…

Online Plasticfree food
This is an interesting option that allows you to buy basic foods on line plastic free. You can even use your own produce bags. Read more HERE

Refillable Eggs

An even greener option is to have a reusable, refillable egg. For example…

You can buy papier-mâché  eggs like these… online from here

If your decorating skills leave something to be desired you could try these Beatrix Potter tins can be bought here

There are lots more on eBay and Amazon 

Obviously the packaging might be plasticky but contact the supplier and see what they can do. If nothing then console yourself with the thought of all the future plastic you will be saving by going for a reusable.

Then you fill them with sweets and chocolates….

Sweets & Chocolate

You can still buy sweets loose in shops and even some supermarkets. I have seen those pastel chocolate eggs available which are of course ideal.
you can find loose sweets and ethical chocolate here

Or if you are feeling ambitious you try your hand at #plasticfree truffles – egg shaped of course. Find the recipe here.

Don’t Like Sweets?

But one of my favourites has to be the M&S Cheese Eggs! yes. M&S has launched a pack of six wax-covered Mini Cheesy Eggs, with Barber’s Farmhouse Cheddar as whites and a vintage 18-month matured Red Leicester yolk hand-dipped in a duck egg blue wax ‘shell’ and sold in what looks like a cardboard box. For obvious reasons I can’t get out to check.

Don’t like Cheese? Gasp! Flowers are always nice….

Flowers are always a lovely way to celebrate Easter for older or less chocolate orientated people. But  gettting them plastic  free can be tricky…..
