A Bunch Of The Best Local Shops Around Australia For Your Easter Fix

Kassia is the Editor of AWOL, and a straight-up travel…
It’s been strangely hard to notice this year, but the Easter long weekend is just about upon us. If you’ve somehow managed to prepare already, I’m honestly so impressed by you. For the rest of us who have been a little preoccupied with a certain pandemic, it’s not too late.
I don’t know about you, but for me the fact that we’re at home all week long makes it especially necessary to differentiate the days. That means I plan to indulge in Easter treats like I’m five again, and I refuse to feel guilty.
I’ve put together my dream list of best Easter food supplies from around the country so you can support local and have an indoor ball.
Country-wide
Cocktail Porter
They’ll deliver you a kit (or 10) so you can make Espresso Martinis served in legit Lindt Milk Chocolate Bunnies. Cute and necessary. Details here.
Gelatissimo
Getting tubs of Choc Cross Bun gelato delivered to your door? Total dream. You may even be able to win some for your hard-working mates. Details here.
Koko Black
Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canbberra and Perth can forget an egg and get themselves a whole chocolate Easter warren, complete with eggs, bunnies and burrows. Details here.
Crumpets by Merna
If you need a break from the sweetness, you can order some hot cross crumpets in the shape of bunnies. Cute as. Details here.
The Easter Show
I know the Royal Easter Show was only for Sydney, but now the whole country can enjoy the best part — the show bags. Details here.
