Easter is quickly approaching and it’s the perfect time to show your friends and family how much they mean to you by spoiling them a little. Over 90% of Americans plan to include chocolate or candy in Easter baskets this year, making it a firm part of the Easter traditions and celebrations. But eggs are not the most unique gift and you’ll probably find that your loved ones get more than their fair share over Easter – so why not surprise them with something a little more special?
Beauty boxes
Whether your best friend won’t be seen without a full face of makeup or like to regularly try out different hair care products, getting him/her a beauty box is a great way to show how much he/she means to you this Easter. Signing up to a subscription box will give them a selection of treats on a regular basis, making it easy to try out different products and experiment with their look. Some of the makers of beauty boxes are even making their boxes Easter-themed by turning them into an egg shape and including some mini chocolate eggs.
Put together a baking hamper
Got a loved one who loves to bake? Depending on what the person enjoys most, you can put a hamper together that contains the tools and supplies needed for him/her to make his/her own Easter eggs, treats to put inside the eggs, and different chocolates for them to use. If the person is more of a baker, gift him/her some Easter-themed cake molds, different colored icings, cake toppers, and other decorations. Or perhaps you’re the one who loves to bake, in which case you could make a customized Easter egg with their favorite treats inside or a personalized cake. Personalized gifts are trending and show that you’ve put both thought and time into the gift.
Chocolate Bouquet of Flowers
All girls love chocolate and some will be plain disappointed if they don’t get any for Easter. This doesn’t mean you have to go for a basic egg though. Girls also love flowers, so merge the two together and make a bouquet of flowers out of chocolate for them. You can buy ready-made bouquets, get chocolate shaped flowers and put them together yourself or do the whole thing from scratch, depending on how confident you’re feeling. You’ll need some sort of pot or vase as a base to sit the chocolate flowers in and using some ribbon can help to bunch them together and make it look pretty. You could also add a bottle of something or a big bar of chocolate to the middle as a centerpiece and an extra treat for the recipient.
Personalized gifts are a great way to show the favorite people in your life just how much they mean to you this Easter, but you can also buy them some thoughtful treats that they’ll love just as much. While chocolate eggs and other candy is a popular choice, unique gifts show that you’ve put extra thought into it.
