The Baker and Creator
For the person who sits and prowls pinterest at 3am on a Thursday
I can hear you thinking – what presents can I get the little sister? What excuse do I have to buy 10,000 crème eggs? Look no further! I’ve put below a list of the best Easter recipes and crafts to ensure you have plenty to keep your chocolate stock in check and your crafting box full of tiny yellow chicks:
Try these cute birds nest cupcakes as an alternative to the standard chocolate/cornflake nests we’re used to

The Lone Wolf
For the person you’ll think is missing, but they’re actually in bed
You live by the motto Netflix and Chill, you keep the goody drawer beside the bed stocked full of midnight snacks and afternoon treats, and there’s probably a mini fridge at the foot of the bed – I’ve got just the list of TV watches not to be missed:
Ahead of the Civil War, watch Captain America: Winter Soldier on Netflix now, or if that isn’t for you they have both old school Full House and the new Netflix Original Fuller House!
If you haven’t yet delved into Amazon Prime – head over now because their original Man In The High Castle is good enough to make you watch the whole series in one sitting! Plus, they have 6 month free trial for students!
If you’re more of a sporty fan – sign up for Now TV’s sports package and make sure you don’t miss a game this Easter
Or if you fancy venturing outside, you can’t go wrong with Kung Foo Panda 3 over at the Vue Cinema at Trinity Square Gateshead
The Party Animal
