We love Easter at Hobbycraft! I’m already planning my Easter

egg hunt, and I have my eye on a couple of our fantastic new

and exclusive Kirstie Allsopp kits – I know my sister will love

the lavender bath bombes! Whatever you’re planning this

Easter, I hope you have a fabulous time and, for a helpful hint

or two, I’ve picked out some of my favourite everyday offers,

which I hope you’ll enjoy too!

this easter!
