What to send
Easter is a spring occasion, so the light flowers fit: tulips, daisies, cherry blossom. A tulip with a daisy reads as the season without needing eggs or bunnies anywhere near it.
If the occasion is religious for the person receiving it, keep the arrangement plain and let the note carry the meaning. Nothing in the bouquet needs to be clever.
- Spring and light: tulip + daisy
- For children: a sunflower, because it is the most legible flower
- For a grandparent: a magnolia with cherry blossom
- Quietly: a single tulip
What to write
Easter notes are usually about spring arriving. That is fine as far as it goes, but the ones that land name something about the person — the garden they keep, the lunch they always make, the fact that this is the first Easter without someone.
If you cannot be there, say what you would be doing if you were. “I would be at the table arguing about the eggs” is a warmer message than any formal greeting.
The bank holiday problem
Real deliveries over Easter weekend are unreliable at best. A link is unaffected, which makes it the practical choice as well as the sentimental one.
