They will receive three different mini candles, each of which smell totally unique from the other. Our favourite is Rosenhave – a subtle floral candle.

3. It's not Easter without the eggs – and we mean the savoury kind...
If your giftee likes their eggs boiled, then some egg cups ought to go down a treat this Easter. Specifically, these classic ones from Le Creuset. Choose a colour to match the rest of their collection – or their kitchen scheme. Alternatively, you could mix things up and get them a range of colours...
Stoneware Egg Cup | £9 at Le Creuset
Great for serving the perfect boiled egg, these cups also look the part on display in a kitchen. We particularly love the classic Volcanic Orange colour.
4. Send a spring planter to their doorstep
You can't go wrong with gifting flowers or plants, and this basket beauty from You Garden will make their home smell lovely. Once fully grown, the hyacinths will measure 12-14cm high, and they arrive in bud so they can be enjoyed for around 21 days in total.

7. An Easter egg with a difference – for those who love truffles
The adult version of an Easter egg but with strawberry truffles inside, you won't find an Easter treat more luxurious than Charbonnel et Walker can offer. The truffles are coated in icing sugar, placed atop a straw-like paper filling, and inside a lovely looking egg-shaped box.

Pastel homeware is very much on trend right now, and it's easy to see why when it looks this good. Take these tall vases from Heal's, for example, they are practical they can add a pop of colour to your home without being too extravagant, and they are made from recycled tea waste and finished with a natural cork base.

Choose from three colours – Chamomile, Peppermint or Rooibos. These origami-like vases will be sure to make a statement, and you can fill them with real or artificial stems.
9. Jo Malone's new reed diffuser for spring – it smells as good as it looks
We've smelt this reed diffuser ourselves, and to say we love it is an understatement. It floods an entire room with fragrance, and it's just perfect for spring. It will arrive to your giftee presented in a lovely box, and it's limited edition. This will last for three to four months in their home, too.
Jo Malone Silk Blossom Diffuser | £67 at Jo Malone

10. What about a new, lightweight waffle robe for spring?
Anything from The White company makes a lovely gift, but we do have to say that this waffled robe would go down a treat. It also has shorter sleeves to make it perfect for wearing in warmer weather. Because coffee tastes ten times better when enjoyed in a robe, in the sun – right? It's also sustainable since it's made using TENCEL™ Modal which is one of the most sustainable fibres in the textile industry.
