The Easter countdown is on

From vegan Easter eggs to Lululemon's first ever running shoe [View in browser]( [IndyBest]( [Suzie McCracken]( Emma Henderson [IndyBest Editor]( April 08, 2022 You've got just one week to get your ducks in a row (or should that be chicks?) for Easter, so consider this your reminder to get into gear. For us, Easter is all about the food, from Easter eggs to hot cross buns, simnel cake and a good leg of roasted lamb. But however you like to celebrate, one thing's a must, and that's chocolate. We've been busy testing everything from the [best luxury eggs]( that will satisfy even the biggest of chocoholics, to [vegan](, [nut free]( and ones for [children]( too. But if chocolate isn't for them, we've also thought of that too and have a [cracking selection of non hyper-inducing gifts](, from cute cardigans to books and spring-themed toys. We've also been toasting, buttering and tasting the [best hot cross buns](, and we're lusting after [M&S Easter hampers]( too, where our favourite Percy Pig makes an appearance. Aside from Easter, this week saw the launch of [Peloton's guide](. [Andrew Griffin](, The Independent's tech editor, put it through its paces to find out if the AI fitness camera can really help you master at-home workouts. April is also National Rosacea Month, so if its something you suffer from, we've got you. Make-up artist and Instagrammer Rose Gallagher, who has rosacea, gives us her [top products that can help manage the condition](, which affects around one in 10 people.   Spring to it Chocolate is, and always should, be for everyone, and a good thing too, because we know vegans would much rather be cracking into a [dairy-free chocolate egg]( than one with a yolk and soldiers on Easter morning. [Vegan Easter eggs]( Every year, the vegan Easter bunny delivers even better treats, and we've hard the hard job of scoffing (we mean, testing) them all to bring you the best. We've [rounded-up everything]( from milk, white and dark chocolate alternatives, truffles, small goodies perfect for the Easter egg hunt and even something not-at-all-egg-like, but ever so appropriate for the season.

Now it's dipped its toe into [sports footwear](, and we're sure it won't be looking back anytime soon. The brand claims its new ["blissfeel" trainers]( have been specially engineered for women's feet, so we put our best foot forward and sprung into a pair to see if its first running shoe could live up to the hype of the rest of the brand's range. [Lululemon's running trainers]( During our testing, we looked at their ability to absorb and soften impact, the cushioning (and quantity of padding), how responsive they felt, their fit (including size and width), weight, durability and style.

Whether you've got a small patch, an allotment or more of a sprawling area, we think [cordless machines]( are the way to go. We favour them over their petrol counterparts for their ease of use and forgoing the risk of getting tangled in wires. They're also much more powerful now than when they were first introduced thanks to the Li-Iion batteries. [Best grass strimmers]( We considered ergonomics while testing, as no one needs a bad back after strimming. We worked on a variety of jobs, from sculpting intricate garden borders to rough patches of weeds down on our poor neglected allotment. Finally, our top tip? If possible, always [try before you buy](. [Read more](   New game on the block Merging [Lego and Star Wars]( seems a no-brainer for both parties, and it's been a winner since 2005 thanks to TT Games which kicked things off. Since then, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and even Lord of the Rings have all had the same famous block treatment. [Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga review]( In Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, players will collect Lego studs, complete simple puzzles and find hidden collectibles to unlock more content. The game encompasses all three of the trilogies with as much enthusiasm and heartfelt appreciation, and the Lego reinterpretation doesn’t stray far from the films.
