Easter is a time of joy and renewal and brings with it the onset of Autumn and a long weekend for many to create fun memories with family and friends. Beyond its religious significance, Easter has evolved to include a range of festive traditions, from egg hunts to the gifting of chocolates. This year, why not elevate your Easter celebrations with unique gifts and fun-filled games that everyone can enjoy? Here’s how to add a touch of creativity to your Easter festivities.

Easter Gifting Ideas

Easter Baskets: Move over, generic Easter baskets! Personalising baskets with Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies or a soft toy can suit every recipient from adults to children. This year, our Easter baskets at Byron Bay Gifts can have a 'Happy Easter' card and ribbon added.

Wine & Chocolate Easter Baskets

DIY Craft Kits: With Autumn just around the corner and cooler days in store, DIY craft kits serve as perfect gifts for both kids and adults. From decorating Easter eggs to creating flower wreaths, these kits not only offer a creative outlet but also make for engaging family activities.

Eco-Friendly Gifts: Sustainability is a gift in itself. Opt for eco-friendly Easter gifts such as seed bombs, plantable pencils, or organic cotton bunny plush toys. These gifts keep giving long after Easter has passed, reminding us of the season's essence of renewal.

Easter Gift Ideas: Soft Toy Bunny and Chocolate Eggs

Handcrafted Chocolate Creations: While chocolate is a staple of Easter gifting, handcrafted chocolates add a luxurious twist. Look for local chocolatiers who specialise in unique flavors or shapes, like chocolate eggs filled with gourmet fillings or artisanal chocolate bunnies.

Easter Games for Long Weekend Fun

Easter Egg Relay Race: Put a twist on the traditional egg and spoon race by using brightly coloured Easter eggs. Participants must race to the finish line while balancing an egg on a spoon, adding a dash of competitiveness to the festive cheer.

Bunny Hop Sack Race: Embrace the bunny theme with a sack race that gets everyone hopping. Participants step into large sacks, holding them up with their hands, and hop toward the finish line, embodying the Easter bunny spirit.

Easter Egg Hunt with Clues: Elevate the classic egg hunt by incorporating clues or riddles that lead participants on a treasure hunt adventure. Each clue leads to the next, with a special prize waiting at the end.
