Hope is not lost if you wake up on Easter Sunday having forgotten to get an egg for that someone special or you find yourself really craving more chocolate.

You can obviously make a mad dash to your local convenience store when the supermarkets are shut and hope its shelves aren’t yet bare, but a better idea might be to just grab your phone and place an order without having to get out of bed.

Sweet treats, as well as just about everything else you might need during the bank holiday weekend from beer to kitchenware, can be ordered on the day itself and delivered within just an hour or two.

It’s thanks to Amazon’s fastest delivery service, Prime Now, which offers a last-minute solution for anyone who runs out of time to go shopping or simply forgets.

The service is available through www.PrimeNow.co.uk or the Prime Now mobile app on iOS and Android. You need to be an Amazon Prime member.

To show off its speedy deliveries and sweeten us up, Amazon sent over an Easter care package consisting of Celebrations, Lindt Lindor and Thorntons fudge brownie chocolate eggs, Terry’s Chocolate Orange, Cadbury Mini Eggs and Morrisons hot cross buns.

The same delights can be yours within two hours at no extra cost or one hour for a £6.99 delivery charge if your postcode is eligible.

Last month Amazon released stats revealing what people in south London most like to order on Prime Now.

They showed more people here buy books than anywhere else in the country.

We also lead the way on sales of baking goods and ingredients, gardening products and pampering essentials.

The bestselling product is two litres of mineral water and the most popular time for orders is Saturday at 2pm.
