I'm an American who has no idea why I am so fascinated or how your videos were recommended to me...but your videos are awesome. I feel like I'm traveling there and exploring, love it.

[@singingbeach]

Hi, I'm an American living in France and I totally agree with you! Hannah's videos are relaxing and always a joy to watch.

[@Jen-U]

Same here - from Canada! 😊

[@gloriagibney3085]

Same here, I am from Texas and I feel like I'm hanging out with my BF

[@karenchapman5288]

I heard on the news here that cocoa prices have gone up worldwide and that's why chocolate is expensive these dsys

[@BenNZ-j9n]

I’m a New Zealander I I have an idea why these videos were reccomended to me… maybe like me your a closet Anglophile

[@ContrastY]

As an American child, I loved the tradition of dyeing boiled eggs

[@janetpendlebury6808]

I grew up in London UK and used to dye eggs.

[@walkerdo2003]

I'm 60 yrs old and I still dye eggs. Now only about 6 but still love it!

[@lyndabond1443]

It’s impossible not to love Hannah ❤. She’s funny even when she’s not trying and always a great 👍 video 😊

[@katefromaust5627]

Isn't she wonderful! I never tire of her. I could watch her all day.

[@Treehoptravels]

I'm an American transiting through Heathrow in July on my way to Dubai. I had to call BA customer service today to arrange a twelve hour layover so I can run into the city and visit Harrods. The customer service agent I was talking to was so nice. She lives in London and I told her I was getting all of my pointers by watching your videos. When I mentioned the market under the train tracks video she knew exactly what I meant and said she had never been but after I told her about it she said she is going to go. It's sure is a small world. Keep up the great work. (P.S. I love the afternoon tea videos!)

[@onecupof_tea]

When we were small, we used to use a pin to make a hole either end of the egg, blow out the egg yolk into a cup, wash and dry the egg shell, then paint it. Glue ribbon to the top then hang them all from a small branch of tree blossom in a jug. The egg yolks can be used for a cake or breakfast. 🐣🐤🐥🪺

[@marilyn6556]

I did that, too! We ate a lot of eggs for breakfast! Every year I think that I will make some, but I don’t.

[@DerylPrice]

Thanks!

[@HannahRicketts]

super super kind of you!!!

[@janetpendlebury6808]

I grew up in London in the 50's and 60's and we used to dye and decorate boiled eggs, even used to try and blow them. My kids also did it as youngsters here in Australia. My nieces and nephews in the UK still do it.

[@eleanorbesly9868]

I’ve loved all these Easter treats videos! Talk about spoilt for choice. Thank you for taking us round to all the posh shops!! 🐣 🐇🐥🌷🪻💝

[@ankiolebring8388]

Dyeing eggs are an old Swedish tradition as well and the most common Easter decoration is decorating birch twigs with coloured feathers or wool🎉

[@simonbrain8801]

Germany too🇬🇧🇩🇪😎

[@jenbarr92]

We decorate our eggs in Scotland! And even roll them down a hill afterwards 🤣

[@pomme800]

Colomba= Dove 🕊.....so in the shape of a Dove of Peace for Easter...Really enjoyed these smaller specialty shops! Never seen before!🕊🌷🌷🌷 Happy Easter! When you boil some eggs put blue cake decorating dye in the water....turn out as pale turquoise eggs...so pretty!

[@poodlemuffin]

I’m a Londoner and I grew up decorating eggs for Easter, along with making Easter hats and baskets. Definitely not just an American thing.

[@dianefyfe5604]

Hello Hannah, I am so pleased to see you and the sun! x

[@reubenf6089]

Watching this on Good Friday while trying to fast is an exercise in will-power.

[@donnalieblick8478]

And those dyed eggs will sometimes have leaked dye into the egg and they are beautiful in your Easter Potato Salad.

[@vondakirkpatrick348]

I really admire how Easter is done in the UK .... all the variety of chocolate Easter eggs is amazing! It seems we have more of a mish mash of toys, candies and chocolate bunnies where I live. When I was little (eons ago ... haha .. I'm 53) we had what was called sugar eggs that my Grandmother would make us ... I miss that ... they were sugar eggs decorated and open on one side or end to display a scene inside. It was a special treat we as kids always looked forward to receiving! Have a lovely Easter Hannah! 🐇🥰

[@susangerwien1290]

As an American, I do decorate for Easter. I love to and it makes me happy to look at it.

[@mikew608]

Thank you Hannah for showing us all these amazing places.

[@GeorgeHargensen1]

I'm English from Norwegian grandparents. When I was a kid and actually celebrated Easter,my grandfather (who was an artist who painted landscapes that actually sold) used to hard boil eggs and then paint little artworks on the shells, which of course ended up broken when I ate the eggs. I always preferred those to the cloyingly sweet chocolate ones everyone seems to favour. BTW, love your Vlog, even though I live an hour from London and work there 90% of the time. You're an awesome Vlogger,even for a jaded-about-London Brit like myself.

[@livinglifebarefoot]

Yes, Hannah, dying eggs is our (American) tradition! You boil them and dip them in dye. There's so many creative ways these days with how to dye them! Lots of fun and messy!

[@Tak12667]

I think it's a persian hungrian tradition, not american

[@hotmailemail1128]

I was about to say that it's a definite European tradition.

[@gloriastone3211]

We Canadians colour eggs too! :)

[@kirahastings9900]

Ukranians make very intricate designs on their eggs. In the Eastern Orthodox tradition, Easter is almost a bigger thing than Christmas.@@Tak12667

[@deeford8318]

And we Greek Orthodox Christian, we dye our eggs Red for Greek Orthodox Easter but as an American, we always dyed our eggs multi colors and decorated them. Loved that we got to do both 🐰 Baci is pronounced Batchi 🍫

[@AlexandraK1]

4:58 The egg painting is something they traditionally do here in Sweden as well. :)

[@magickittenz]

5:40 Young people haven't seen ladybugs casually on a random flower on the street like we have been raised up. You can feel the impact. It's taken for granted.

[@philipho188]

Sunlight and warmth! Such madness!!

[@rainshine3457]

Guess who's back Hannah's back tell a friend. Everyone's favourite KZbinr and most beautiful. Have a great week Hannah.❤

[@potterkelly487]

I live in Canada, which is shared Continent with USA. We dye eggs also for Easter.

[@shahdnahal8662]

Your vlogs are a window to all these lovely things some people may never even see in a lifetime! Please keep 'em coming ❤ As for dying the eggs it's an extremely old tradition, and here in Syria we dye them strictly with onion peels to keep up the old traditions.

[@melliebe6029]

Hey my fellow Americans, and maybe UK folks too? Costco has large bags full of gold foil wrapped milk chocolate bunnies from France this year for $15! They are very good. I usually have to pay a fortune for French chocolate so this is a great find. Just thought Hannah R fans might like to know.

[@Japonicastar]

I’m English and was brought up with a boiled egg in the morning and painting it. I’m sure mum said her parents In Manchester had the same tradition. Thanks for the 2 vids a week, super trooper! 😊

[@tinacarrol6702]

Hannah What Fabulous Shops. Can't Believe The Amount Of Stock, And Choice, Really Enjoyed This Vlog. Have a lovely Easter. Xx 🐰🐣🐇😘

[@alessandraferla1027]

You know, on the topic of sunlight, I was in London in 2019 for 10 days and 9 out if 10 days were warm and sunny and gorgeous! I must have been lucky! On another note, thanks for the awesome videos ❤

[@MARIASIEGEL-oc4qp]

Yes, at approximately 4:45, it is an American thing. Didn't realize it before. Similar to Greeks dying eggs red at Easter--could be where it started in USA. Those eggs would be used in Easter egg hunts but nowadays it's more likely plastic ones with something inside. There's an annual hunt at the White House where they use wood ones. The real dyed eggs are eaten afterwards.

[@JefferyWirtanen]

Yes Hanna you have wonderful way of making us all feel like we’re with you shopping and exploring the shops marvelous videos thank you and God bless❤😊

[@cbuxtondesigns]

Would you be able to go to some unique, small, neighborhood shops. Like gift, stationery, smaller boutiques, fabric, interiors, or needlepoint shops? Love the videos!!

[@TruthRDare]

I am from the UK and when I was little we used to paint boiled eggs .😃

[@gailaspreen2520]

Ooh, Partridges, another first for me! They should win the classiest "grocery bag" award too. I like your trench, Hannah, but then everything looks great on you.

[@yelenavics1830]

I came back from London a few days ago and it was sunny every day, not all day, but on-n-off every day. Everything was green, daffodils in all the parks, cherry blossoms on almost every street. And thank you Hannah for recommending Harrods and the Ritz afternoon teas. Also shopped at Fortnum for teas. Good times.

[@carolyna.2527]

I love the different chocolate shapes you have for Easter. Never saw a chocolate unicorn or dragon before. I have to say, I watched your other 2 videos with Harrods and Fortnum and Mason and hands down Harrods is my favorite. Such a classy store. Tip for tying your laces on your sneakers: after you make the first loop, wrap the other lace twice through the hole before you pull it tight. Your laces will never come undone again!

[@paintballdiver]

Good morning from New Zealand. Thank you for another terrific video. And welcome to the sun as you scoot around from store to store. Have a great one.

[@tanyahouston5635]

Yes, I decorate for Easter! I have a lot of Easter decorations-stuffed bunnies, ceramic bunnies, blown decorated eggs to hang on a branch from the yard, chick figurines, signs, plastic eggs, rabbit coasters, etc. Easter is my favorite! I am working on a decoupage egg now. -USA 🇺🇸

[@kathytabas3560]

Hiya, in Canada we dye eggs as well and hide them for children to find.

[@Sunkan111]

GÅVA IS GIFT IN ENGLISH !!!WATCHING FROM SWEDEN WISHING YOU ALL A SUNNY LOVELY EASTER!!!!!

[@Milkedsplooge]

Wow, the weather look amazing in London!!😀😀😀😀

[@David-l4m9y]

Nice video Hannah….mmmmm lovely chocolate eggs 👌👌😂

[@Kari_B61ex]

I see sunlight and blue skies often - I live in Devon. Devon knows how beautiful it is... and we also have an oceanic climate, this morning we had a misty start - once that cleared we had beautiful blue skies. Easter is earlier this which means the bank holidays are more spread out.

[@Kari_B61ex]

@@Americathebeautiful49 😆🤣

[@sheilaenglish9738]

I was going to treat myself to one of those large UK eggs that have chocolates or mini chocolate bars inside them, but at $35+ at a British import shop here in Canada I decided against it 😬😄

[@francesaggarwal22]

I can remember chocolate Easter eggs coming into fashion when I was a child in the UK in the 1950's. They had been around a long time but were far too expensive for a lot people until then. I can't remember whether it was Cadbury or Frys who started the affordable egg. It always had a "crocodile skin" embossed pattern. Before these we used to get a varnished papier mache egg with a jolly printed Easter scene on. It was in two halves tied with ribbon and contained sweets, a little toy and hankies. Sometimes we got tin ones. I think you could buy the cases and fill them yourselves. We used to dye boiled eggs with food colouring or onion skin or beetroot juice to have for breakfast. We also used to blow eggs, blow out the yolk and whites and dye the shells and they were to decorate the house with. I carried on the egg dying tradition with my own children.

[@isabellind1292]

Thank you, Hannah Ricketts. I always enjoy seeing the places you visit. It's always a treat, thank you!⭐🥇🏆

[@thatbapa]

I just found my dinner entertainment, yay 🎉 Thank you for uploading so frequently atm!

[@LucySterling65]

Colomba, an Italian Easter cake represents the Easter Dove of peace. The head is given to the head of the family, the tail the mother of the family and the wings represent the children of the family. It’s only available during Easter whereas Panettone although it’s a Xmas cake, is found through the year. Scottish-Italian person here.

[@valeriekelly315]

Thanks lovely Hannah for taking us to those fab - u - lous stores. Sooo much choice - Easter egg overload🦙🦙🦙cluck cluck x

[@mariebrown9415]

In the USA the Easter Treats go on sell - at least 50 % or more the week after Easter. Same old chocolate just wrapped differently. Freezes well. In the USA we have a discount store called ( Home Goods, Marshalls, or TJ Max ) that sell those brands of goods from Europe. You should check it out when you travel to Cali- honestly I think our prices in the USA are better than in London. Those are NYC prices= London . Lindts is cheaper here but your eggs are really over the top in terms of luxury and beauty.

[@sharonsmith583]

Egg coloring and decorating is indeed an American thing! AND back in the day, we used to actually hunt the eggs we colored. Sometimes we didn't find them all. And my dad, would run over one mowing or weed whacking in the summer. Smelly! Wonderful video as usual, I feel like I'm strolling through London with a friend!

[@janetpendlebury6808]

It was also an English thing, my nieces and nephews still do it.

[@user-gd9fx1li5z]

Love this video thanks Hannah x

[@lvredgrl5201]

Hannah - if you are a chocolate lover someday get to the Lindt factory in Zurich Switzerland. Went in December - chocolate overload Heaven!

[@garygarrison4336]

Thanks Hannah for the tour , and showing some of the smaller stores . Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter . 🐰

[@Sanc-ls2cl]

Oh, I read about Easter eggs and the Ukrainian farmers wrote names on eggs to celebrate Spring and the Sun since their winters are so long and dreary. We need that here too (:

[@beverlyzimmermann5868]

You are right we color eggs here in US, always the day.before Easter. We would end up.having egg salad sandwiches the following week.

[@yhayes]

The Eggs is a Greek tradition ❤ thanks you Hannah 🎉

[@alicemilligan2699]

Yes Americans dye and decorate either hard boiled eggs or "blown" shells-- but the eggs are white. It doesn't work well with the brown eggs in Europe. The dyed eggs are hidden around the house at night by the Easter Bunny and the kids find them Easter morning. Then mum makes devilled eggs with them. The Easter bunny will also leave a basket with a chocolate bunny (not an egg). One has to eat the chocolate bunny ears first. That's my childhood anyway. 😊

[@DerylPrice]

Thanks Hannah for your amazing videos. My family always enjoys watching them. We have sent some support though Google please buy your self some flowers and chocolate for Easter❤

[@HannahRicketts]

You're the best!

[@joanfreestone1707]

You are so lucky to have such gorgeous shops in London. I'm always moaning about how awful shopping is here in Perth. There's hardly anything for Easter. Our shops are half empty. The excuse being that the railway line on the Nullabor Plain is flooded and nearly all our goods have to come from Sydney or Melbourne. I don't know why they can't send everything by ship or plane!! Anyway, it's lovely to see all the lovely things in London.

[@lesleyjeffers9919]

I'm scottish, we boil and decorate our eggs and roll them down a hill. Very very traditional. Wouldn't be Easter without rolling an egg.

[@lbally8821]

Love your videos ❤ Thanks Hannah

[@gailstevens1275]

I grew up in the north of England )& remember pace eggs🪺being painted or dyed @ Easter & then egg rolling down a hill on Easter Monday. Also, never opened Chocolate Easter eggs until Easter Sunday & it was a time to have a new outfit ( unlike nowadays ) 😊

[@janr2133]

I’m in Texas and I do decorate for Easter. I made a small quilted wall hanging of squares with a decorated egg in each of the nine squares. I have a 4 foot tall wooden rabbit that sits by the fireplace and a wreath etc. just marks that spring is here!!

[@geniushisfriends1260]

Beautiful sunny day Hannah. enjoy catch up with your family.

[@sonyasever7625]

Thank you for you calm and positive vibes. I am from russia, i am still shaking after crocus. Even tho it was 6 days ago, we still have terror alert. Btw, i live in the north of russia, we still have snow, so thank you for showing some bloomings as well ❤️

[@debrasams2362]

I enjoyed seeing the ornate package for the Easter eggs. So much chocolate!! It would be hard to choose. As an American, I love the Reece's peanut butter bunnies. So good. Thank for sharing.🥰

[@plecoful]

Yes- dying Easter eggs 🪺 here in US is like eating turkey at Thanksgiving

[@janeoxley4829]

I made a Simnel cake for Easter, fruit cake topped with marzipan, delicious.

[@anndudman9369]

Great video. Loved seeing all the “very fancy and expensive” Easter eggs. The choice is amazing but the price of some seems way out of the regular shoppers reach. Would be a lovely treat though. Have a lovely Easter with your family. Loved your gold bow/knot earrings

[@Chaoticcoffeesideofhumor]

I'm from the US. And for easter at least in my family we dye eggs and we do sort of decorate. Easter window clings and a few knickknacks for easter. But we sadly don't do the chocolate eggs which I find is such a miss for us here . Feel like people would be all over them. ❤

[@ketherwhale6126]

I love the English chocolatiers. Best in Europe. Loved this ❤

[@chelseabachrach3408]

I had such a hard week aand couldn't watch your videos for the week until today. Going out with you brought me back to myself. THANK YOU DEAREST HANNAH!!

[@TheCho-k4m]

The Harrods show stopper will be hard to beat, it is absolutely beautiful and if were wealthy I'd buy ten as gifts! 😁

[@WakeUpAndCraft]

Hannah I really liked the look around all the different shops today! You got some very yummy Easter goodies! 😋Just wondering if you ever did pick up that Hot Cross Buns curd from Harrod's! 😉 I really like watching you, because you show and explain so many different things. I had no idea that you guys didn't dye your Easter Eggs! That was one of my favorite Easter traditions as a kid. It's funny that the store only had two varieties. In the US some stores (like Walmart) would have an entire section just dedicated to different types of Easter Egg dye - bright colors, pastels, stickers, stamps, even sparkles! Thank you for another great tour around your town! See you Friday! 🌞

[@saskiapanter]

In the Netherlands we also do that, painting real boiled eggs. Collor them and paint them. I used to do it with my mom every year.

[@MeandmyTea]

I'm Loving your Easter vlogs Hannah!!! Yayyyy Now I have 2 More stores to check out when I come in May! ☕😊

[@evelynporter6349]

Thanks for the showing the floral bouquets, such variety and so beautiful!! I love the chocolates in the spring colored foil as well. Chocolate is medicinal! 😉🙃😊

[@rachelcamm4990]

I love your videos Hannah! I was born and brought up in London and lived in Maida Vale for many years. I don't currently live in London but I love going down memory lane to all of the shops I used to visit in the West End. Many happy memories! Thanks for making these videos!!! ❤

[@ddemetra534]

Even though it's not my Easter until May 5th, I'm Greek Orthodox, all these chocolate gifts for Easter are over the top. We also dye our eggs a dark red color to assimilate the blood of Christ shed for us all. Happy Easter Hannah! ❤

[@NIKABittner]

To dye or paint eggs is an eastertime tradition spread all over Central/Western Europe as well as the states - apparently it is not as common in the UK.

[@TheBlueNomad]

Baci is pronounced like Bachi...When I lived in Bath over 10 years ago, they used to have egg hunts in some of the shops to amuse the children while the parents were shopping..

[@ivoreeluv]

What another lovely video! I absolutely love how you really showcase the “goods” in the shop and actually pick it up and show us what you like. Other vlogs that I’ve seen they kind of just span the displays and aisles without really looking at anything. Love your stuff! Hope your Easter was a blessed day! 🐇🍄🐣🪺🪻🌈

[@lonegunwomen]

A wonderful walkabout Hannah always fun to see all the treats you can purchase in London. Looking forward to Friday. Take care.

[@euLienee]

In Latvia we also color eggs for Easter but usually not with artificial colors.

[@Chloe-vi5mb]

All of those places looked amazing!! 😋

[@awineandfoodnerd]

Happy Tuesday, Hannah! A fun mooch through several shops for all the Easter treats today. The egg dye and coloring kits are a mostly American thing. I remember doing it when I was much younger. Looking forward to Friday’s vlog! Have a wonderful week!

[@rogertemple7193]

The Easter candies are just as expensive here in the US but I like seeing the candies there especially the chocolate ones of course, another awesome episode especially about candy and other sweets thanks and can't wait for your next video and i wish you a blessed upcoming Easter Sunday Thank You Hannah.🇬🇧🍫🍬🍭🧁🍩🍰🇬🇧

[@janelow4530]

Such fun to see how fancy your Easter eggs are! It’s madness but so much fun to watch… just putting on weight watching 🤣🤣🤣 was so happy to see Abbey Road… I will be that crazy tourist blocking the traffic 😜

[@PatriciainOz]

Thanks for sharing ...the cocoa bean price has basically quadrupled so those prices are in line with chocolate prices here. A basic 2ounce bunny might be $5 two weeks ago; today its $7.50. I am going to be hoarding some chocolate soon.

[@henrymark8528]

Hey Hannah, Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that your vlog is like my daily dose of sunshine - can't start my day without it! Your tour vlogs, especially when you take us to explore those charming shops nestled between neighborhoods, are the absolute highlight of my week. I believe Harrods winning in your Easter chocolates and March vlogs. Absolutely epic! Thanks a ton for telling me about Incogni, the scam-blocking service. Here in Washington DC, I'm facing the same issue as you did in the UK - bombarded with scam calls, emails, and text messages every single day. It's seriously scary stuff. My advice to you, Hannah, is to be cautious when making donations with your credit card, especially at stores, because these organizations might end up selling your information to scammers. Cash is fine, but I'm steering clear of credit cards for donations from now on. Now, let's talk about your shoelace - it's pure comedy gold! Your sense of humor never fails to crack me up. Oh, and speaking of Easter chocolates, I must say, the chocolates in the UK are simply divine, with their perfect balance of sweetness and happiness! Personally, I prefer them over chocolates from the States. Anyway, here's hoping your evening is as awesome as your vlogs. Catch you on Friday! Easter 🐣💐🇬🇧❤🇺🇸💐🐣

[@marnachaky4346]

Love that we get to see posh chocolates and learn about global Easter traditions in Hannah’s lovely vids and the comments section! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@ThisthatandtheOther-o2q]

Thank you for taking us along Hannah, it's early Easter Saturday evening here in South Africa, a few of my family members and I are indulging in your videos, we're taking a little break before we do our family Easter Sunday 'ritual' by attending Sunday service. I wish we could bottle some of the South African 'sunshine' and 'warm temperature' even in the early days of Autumn and send it off to you. 🤩🤩

[@Ritz-mn8qf]

Shopping with you is always a blast, Hannah. One of my favorite videos was the one where you went shopping at the airport. 🛒🛍✈

[@alawillow]

I recently looked back at Hannah’s videos from 3-4 years ago also in the airport lounges, fabulous, she looks just as great then, never ages !

[@leslie-anneblake6000]

We need more chocolate lady bugs!!! Reminds me of childhood 😋

[@donnalyttle7475]

Wonderful video. Now you've made me want to go shopping. and I have no little ones near me to enjoy. I may have to revert back to my childhood and make myself an Easter Basket. Do the children get new Easter clothes over there? I remember we used to get pretty , frilly dresses for church. Thanks Hannah, donna from North Carolina.

[@Gizgirl70]

Just adding to the other comments: blowing out eggs and dying them (or using boiled ones) is a long tradition in Germany, too. They used them in church to separate them from the non-blessed offerings during Easter :) The blown-out ones get hung on a bunch of pussywillow, with other decorations.

[@marilyn6556]

I am the youngest of 6 kids, so I dyed eggs and decorated them, with my mom. My sisters were 9 and 11 years older than me, and my brothers were old enough that they didn’t want to do anything like that. My mother and I watched tv, and it was nice to have the one on one with her. She and I decorated the Christmas cookies, but it was an ongoing affair because she made so much! I miss her so much!
