Pink Heaven Gift IdeasEaster Gift Ideas - A Visit From The Easter Bunny!
Easter gift ideas can range from flowers or soft toys to the ever popular chocolate eggs.
But why do we give gifts at Easter? The Pink Heaven Gift Angel decided to find out to help you find some traditional yet inexpensive Easter gifts.
Easter eggs are traditional Easter gifts as they symbolize the resurrection of Jesus Christ as eggs rend to be symbols of new life. Originally eggs were decorated with paint and ribbons and given in a basket. This is still done today and can make a great gift.
Handmade eggs can also be fun to paint and can last longer than the chocolate variety. Children can also paint them with their own names and artwork on and give as a gift to friends and relatives or they can have an egg decorating competition. You can buy small baskets and decorate them with ribbon and flowers for an ideal homemade Easter gift idea. You can also buy hand painted eggs that have been done professionally by egg painting artists.
If you have many decorated eggs you can hide them around the house for the children to find, whoever find the most wins a prize! Another game that uses eggs is an egg roll where children roll eggs down a hill to see who's gets to the bottom the fastest.
Chocolate Easter eggs were not introduced until the 1800s but are now one of the most popular Easter gifts for both children and adults, with a huge range of different eggs to suit every taste.
Another food tradition at Easter are Hot Cross Buns to be given on Good Friday. You can either make your own or buy them at your local shop and then place in a basket or gift box for a inexpensive gift.
Making Easter bonnets is another great homemade Easter gift idea for children and your efforts may even win a prize as by decorating a straw hat with various decoration such as ribbon, flowers, eggs and chicks has become so popular there are many local competitions with some great Easter prizes.
Flowers and soft toys in the form of Easter chicks or bunnies are also inexpensive gifts. A unique Easter gift idea would be to decorate a straw basket and fill with a selection of eggs, lillies, cookies and Hot Cross Buns. Or for creative kids why not buy them a basket, some eggs and a straw hat and then fill with different craft materials so that they can decorate to their hearts content.
Or why not give something a little more personal? Keeping in tradition with chocolate at Easter why not give some personalised chocolate adorned with cute Easter bunnies and chicks. I offer a range of different designs that can even be given in traditional Easter baskets.
Also if you think letting your kids loose with eggs is a tad too messy let them decorate an egg of a different kind - a chocolate bar with a plain egg on the front bearing nothing but their name all ready to let their imagination run riot. The decorate an egg chocolates also come with a personalised pack of colouring pencils. Given all together in an Easter basket is the perfect Easter gift.
I also offer a few adult Easter personalised chocolates based around an Easter cross to show the true meaning of Easter without leaving out the chocolate!
