Easter sneaks up on us early this year—only one week away! No matter what your religious beliefs, the holiday provides the perfect excuse to shop for adorable, irresistible egg-, bird-, and bunny-themed finds for friends and family–or your own abode. So hop to it! Herewith, sweet treats that are far from saccharine

1. A vignette of Ritzenhoff’s kooky-cool egg cups (above) is like having a little party on your tabletop.

2. Toronto ceramicist Xenia Taler’s lovely hand-painted, egg-shaped plaque—even the scary snake is charming!

3. Monica Lubkowska Jonas’s cleverly colorful Wobble glasses, which rock on curved bottoms.

4. Delightful handmade bird platters by Tennessee artisan Susan Smith.

5. Send seasonal sentiments with Savannah College of Art & Design alum Tiffani Taylor’s beautifully rendered Nest note cards.

6. I cannot resist these cuddly eco-chicks, made from reclaimed sweater scraps!

7. Stash your hand-painted Easter eggs in Josh Jakus’s witty industrial felt cups—or use them year-round to stash jewelry. (Um, or pears.)

8. Fresh’s soaps have the prettiest paper packaging. And these garden magnolias will last even longer than just-picked blooms.

9. In case you’ve OD’d on adorableness, how about these weird but wonderful cast-pewter bird feet sculptures by Swallow?

10. OK, these don’t exactly fall under the category of “decor,” but I just love a high-design cookie—especially ones shaped like bunnies. I mean, really!

Happy Easter! —Jen Renzi
