Easter gift with a heart of gold - 06/04/09

You can say it with flowers, but a chocolate egg worth its weight in gold is being hailed as a special Easter gift with an eye fixed firmly on the recession.

Upmarket London department store Selfridges has said the eggs, which contain a gold coin, "make for a wise investment".

The coin weighs one troy ounce and is worth almost £900, 75% more than four years ago and likely to go on increasing in value as the economic downturn continues.

Says a spokesman: "According to the financial institution Swiss bank UBS, demand for gold will double this year compared to 2007, as investors see the precious metal as a safe haven during the current volatile economic climate."

Ewan Venters, director of food and drink at Selfridges, said: "Don't invest in the stock market this Easter, invest in the golden egg instead. It really is worth its weight in gold - even after the fantastic chocolate has been eaten."
