Whether you’re gifting him, her, or the host of the Easter party, we have ideas for thoughtful Easter gifts that will make their hearts hippity-hop with gratitude.

Easter Gifts and Tea Party Favors

You already have the Easter baskets planned for the kiddos, but you need some gift ideas for the rest of your loved ones. Easter isn’t only for the kids — you can gift your spouse, best friend, or favorite family member a special little something, too. Here are some ideas for tea-themed Easter presents they’ll love: 

Easter Gifts for Her

The Buckingham Palace Tea Set is a classic Easter present for anyone who is all about feminine flair. Tea fanatics and those who are new to tea will enjoy this elegant flowering teapot set that’s finished with an intricate pattern set in rose gold. They will enjoy watching the blooming teas unfurl in this show-stopping teapot. 
If you know she would prefer something a little less extravagant, the Single-Serve Tea Maker gives her a convenient way to enjoy a single cup of her favorite tea. This eight-ounce mug comes with a removable strainer so she can drink the perfect cup of her most cherished loose-leaf teas. She’ll love this mug even more because it’s insulated and keeps her tea hot — or cold — and it’s furniture-friendly which means no coasters are needed.

Easter Gifts for Him

If you know he likes modern style, a Tea Press is a teapot alternative that he’ll like to use every day. It turns out, tea presses are incredibly handy for steeping loose-leaf tea. He’ll appreciate how easy it is to clean and how delicious his tea tastes.
If he’s the “on the go” type, the All-Purpose Bamboo Thermos can join him on all his outings — from work to camping. This thermos isn’t for only hot tea but for iced tea, infused water, and even hot or iced coffee. The insulated design keeps your hot drinks and your cold drinks at the ideal temperature.

Easter Gifts for the Host

Do you have plans at someone else’s home this Easter? Gift the host an extra special Venice Double Wall Tea Mug to say “thank you” for throwing an incredible party. After all of that planning, prep, and cleanup, your host will want to kick up their feet and decompress — and this mug is just the answer for their zen time. 
This tea mug is amazing because it’s double-walled, insulated, and furniture-friendly. Consider pairing this mug with the Flowering Fruit Tea Variety of green teas. They’ll be so thankful for your thoughtful present.

How to Host an Easter Tea Party

If you want to “wow” them this year, an Easter tea party will do just the trick! Make room for whimsical decor, delicious treats, and plenty of tea to go around. Here are some brilliant ideas so you can get hopping in the right direction:

Easter Tea Party Decor

When you host your Easter tea party, make sure to include seasonal elements throughout your decor. You can keep it simple and fill vases with fresh flowers and tulips. Or you can go all out and adorn your dining room with streamers and balloons in a flood of pastel hues. 

Scatter colorful foil-covered chocolate eggs across the table. You may even want to decorate your tablescape with dyed eggs. If you want to keep it all-natural, you can use fruit and vegetable juices — like blueberries, ginger, carrot, melon, or beets — to dye your eggs in a beautiful variety of colors.

The Best Teaware for Any Tea Party

You have all of the decor planned, but you’ll need all of the essentials to throw an Easter tea party — and that starts with the teaware. You can’t have a tea party without teacups and teapots but you don’t have to break the bank and buy fine porcelain. There is a better and more affordable teaware that’s beautiful and easy to care for called borosilicate glass. 

You’ll love a tea set made from borosilicate glass — why? It’s not only a stain-proof and durable material, but it’s also easy to clean — and more importantly, it won’t leach chemicals into your tea. 

It turns out the glaze on most porcelain and stoneware can leach toxic chemicals — like lead and cadmium — into your tea. Borosilicate glass is a chemical-free non-porous material that keeps your tea clean and pure and keeps all of those toxins out of your body. Not only is borosilicate glass teaware sustainable and better for your health, but it’s also gorgeous and handcrafted by master artisans. 

And bonus! — These clear teapots and tea cups will always be a perfect neutral foundation for any themed tea parties you throw in the future. For the best tea parties any time of year, invest in a borosilicate glass teaware set. 

Trust us — you’ll thank yourself later.

Children’s Easter Tea Party Ideas

You can never go wrong with the traditional Easter egg hunt if there are kids around. And if you want to host a children-centric Easter tea party, stick with a classic theme like Bunnies and Chicks or even Peter Rabbit. Set up a separate tea table for the little ones or let the adults and kids mingle together at one table. 

You can even set up a children’s craft table to keep the little ones entertained while the adults bustle about or sit and chat. 

Colorful construction paper and glue sticks are fun for everyone. Strips of paper can be used to weave Easter baskets. 

Easter wreaths can be made from paper plates with their centers cut out, and a pile of colorful pre-cut paper eggs — kids can simply glue the eggs around the paper plate and take the wreath home to hang on their bedroom door.

Food and Drink Ideas for Your Easter Party

You’ll want to plan a fun and delicious menu to serve at your Easter tea party including cakes, sandwiches, scones, and of course tea! Consider having a buffet-style setup so guests can serve themselves. Or, you can display all of the food, scones, and desserts on the dining table so everyone can enjoy them as they sit and talk.

Hot, Iced, or Spiked Teas?

Blooming tea sets are a fun and beautiful way to celebrate Easter and spring flowers. Or, you can steep hot pots of green teas infused with flowers. Of course, you can never go wrong with a traditional Breakfast tea, either. 

Spring-inspired iced teas are also a big hit for an Easter tea party. Serve flavors like strawberry-rhubarb, or pineapple-kiwi-cherry for a tropical twist. Spiked iced teas are a delight for adults — try a black iced tea infused with apricot syrup and add a splash of bourbon. 

Easter Food Ideas

Almost no Easter tea party is complete without a carrot cake or carrot cake cupcakes smothered in cream cheese frosting. Other decadent flavors you can consider are coconut with apricot or even Meyer lemon with blueberries. 

Scones can be any flavor you wish. Serve them with lemon curd or Devonshire cream and preserves for an authentic afternoon tea experience.

To make your presentation extra special sprinkle a handful of edible flower petals into your green salad so it looks like a rainbow of Easter confetti. You can even sprinkle some flower petals over your finger sandwiches to give a little festive flair. 

Some popular springtime sandwich flavors for afternoon tea are egg salad, fresh cucumber, chicken salad, and fresh strawberries with cream cheese.
