Vintage Easter: A Sustainable & Creative Celebration


This Easter, ditch the plastic and embrace sustainability with vintage and secondhand finds! Whether you’re creating an Easter morning tea, putting together unique gifts, or setting up a stylish egg hunt, there are countless ways to make April’s Easter both beautiful and eco-friendly.


Thoughtful Easter Gifts for Adults


If you’re looking for a charming and practical Easter gift, consider a vintage trio—teacup, saucer, and side plate—filled with shredded paper, a chocolate egg, and a vintage spoon. This is a timeless and reusable gift that will bring joy beyond Easter morning.


Another idea is starting a collection with vintage egg cups. Find a cute, characterful egg cup, place a tiny egg inside, and present it as a keepsake that can grow year after year.


Rethinking the Easter Egg Hunt


Easter baskets don’t always have to be made of plastic! This year, swap out traditional baskets for sustainable alternatives:

• Use a wooden bowl for each participant, or a vintage milk glass stand to add a touch of nostalgia.

• Instead of running off with their finds, have each person return to the table after every egg they discover, placing it into their bowl or stand. This keeps the hunt going longer and builds excitement!


Decorating with Vintage Charm


Create an enchanting Easter table with vintage elements:

• A stunning vintage cloche (glass dome) can serve as a centerpiece. Fill it with colorful eggs, a porcelain bunny, or tiny chicks for a charming Easter display.

• If you love farmhouse-style decor, try using baby carrots with the green tops attached. Place them in a glass vase, allowing the greenery to mimic a floral bouquet while the carrots sit beautifully in the vase.


A Thoughtful Token Gift


For a simple yet elegant Easter touch, select a vintage side plate with autumn tones or spring florals. Serve hot cross buns or another Easter treat on each plate, letting guests take home their chosen dish as a lovely keepsake.


This April, celebrate Easter with creativity, sustainability, and a touch of vintage charm. By repurposing, reusing, and embracing the beauty of secondhand finds, you can create a truly special holiday that’s both meaningful and eco-friendly.
