The Perfect Gift for that Somebunny Special

Easter Shortbread Bunny Box: $32

Who can resist a box with bunny ears? We can’t, and we’re betting you can’t either. Especially when said bunny box is covered with bright and cheery polka dots and filled with rich, buttery shortbread cookies all sparkled up for Easter gift-giving.

Harvard Sweet Boutique’s Easter Shortbread Bunny Box includes 12 each of three different size shortbread cookies, with ruffled edges and colorful sugar sprinkles. Share the larger ones over a cup of tea or delight in the fun of kids’ reaction to the tiniest versions of this timeless treat.
