Just like Christmas stockings, elaborately painted Easter Äggs are brought out and refilled year after year. 

In a typical Swedish household, every family member (including the dog!) has their own Ägg, in addition to communal Äggs dotted strategically around the house, close to comfortable chairs where someone might want to sit down and tuck into something sweet. 

But Easter Äggs, unlike their British counterparts, aren’t all about chocolate. They’re designed to hold all sorts of surprises, from jewellery and makeup to baked treats and homemade chocolates - even holidays (if you’ve got a voucher).
