Easter has a way of inviting us to slow down. It is a pause in the year that feels gentler than most holidays, centred around family tables, favourite recipes, small rituals and the simple pleasure of chocolate shared generously.
Whether you are hosting a full family gathering, planning a relaxed long weekend with friends, or simply looking forward to a beautifully set lunch, Woolworths’ Easter collection offers thoughtful touches that elevate the occasion without overcomplicating it.
Chocolate worth savouring
For many of us, Easter begins and ends with chocolate. Woolworths’ much-loved range returns this season, crafted using 100% responsibly sourced cocoa as part of its Farming for the Future initiative, supporting farmers while protecting the planet. It is indulgence with intention.
Alongside traditional favourites are a few elevated additions worth noting. Egg Joyables pair smooth milk chocolate with a rich, creamy mousse centre, offering a more grown-up take on the classic Easter egg. Candy-shelled Dark Hens Eggs bring a satisfying crunch balanced by deep cocoa notes, ideal for those who prefer their chocolate slightly less sweet.
If you are curating Easter hampers for children or family friends, the candy-coated milk chocolate Duck Egg makes a charming centrepiece. And for effortless variety, the Easter Treat Box combines two Marshmallow Eggs, two Hens Eggs and a treat-sized portion of multi-coloured Fantastical™ Eggs in one beautifully considered selection.
For something that lasts beyond the long weekend, the Fantastical™ Egg and Large Bunny soft toys add a thoughtful finishing touch to little ones’ celebrations.
Hosting with ease
Easter in South Africa often leans towards outdoor gatherings, and few things bring people together quite like a braai. Woolworths’ exclusive Jan Braai range, including the Jan Braai Grid and Tongs, makes outdoor cooking feel both elevated and effortless.
If you are planning a more traditional Easter lunch, attention to detail makes all the difference. A crisp white 3-Hole Stitch Tablecloth provides a refined base for your table setting, while the rustic Woodlands Dinner Set adds warmth and texture without feeling overly formal.
A Cast Iron Roaster in contemporary sage green is perfect for slow-roasted lamb, seasonal vegetables or even a comforting baked pudding. It moves seamlessly from oven to table, which is always welcome when you are entertaining. For serving dessert, a classic Cloche with Base adds understated drama, whether you are presenting hot cross buns, a sponge cake or a generous wedge of tart.
These are the kinds of pieces that earn their place in your cupboard long after Easter has passed.
For the little ones
If children are part of your Easter plans, there is something particularly charming about marking the occasion with a special outfit. This year, Woolworths has collaborated with beloved Dutch brand Miffy to create an exclusive baby range.
The Miffy Sleep Sack offers comfort for newborns and younger babies, while the Miffy 2-pack PJ Set is a sweet yet practical option for relaxed mornings and Easter egg hunts. Soft, thoughtfully designed and undeniably adorable, these pieces feel both gift-worthy and wearable beyond the holiday weekend.
Celebrating your way
What makes Easter special is not extravagance, but intention. It is about gathering the people you love, preparing food with care and adding small, considered details that make everyone feel welcome.
Woolworths’ Easter collection reflects that spirit. From responsibly sourced chocolate and playful treats to timeless homeware and practical braai essentials, each piece is designed to help you host beautifully and celebrate meaningfully. However you choose to spend the long weekend, the essentials are there to create a table that feels abundant, moments that feel generous and memories that linger well beyond the last chocolate egg.
