Easter Egg Hunt Gift Guide

Its nearly Easter! So now is the time to make those final bank holiday plans. Whilst some opt to go away for a short Easter break, others stay at home in front of the telly chomping on chocolate eggs. Then there are those who really love to get into the spirit of Easter. Obviously Easter is foremost an important celebration in the Christian calendar and along the way it has gathered many traditions, including the giving of Easter eggs. Years ago it was brightly painted birds eggs that were given at Easter. As chocolate became more prevalent, these were replaced with chocolate Easter eggs.

These days Easter egg hunts have become popular traditions with children, who take great fun in hunting down hidden eggs. So here at findmeagift.com, we didnt want you to feel left out. So we have put together a little Easter egg hunt gift guide especially for you. So be sure to hop along and grab an online basket to pop them all in!

First off, you need to invite family or friends or just your children to your Easter egg hunt. Why not send out a fabulous Easter Personalised Card? This Easter card features a blue background with a whopping great yummy big chocolate egg on the front, which says Happy Easter with a space on its yellow ribbon for you to have a name written on it in blue (up to 20 characters). You can also have a personal message printed on the inside, up to 150 characters, so you could easily put an invitation to your Egg Hunt in there! This super Easter card is also available in pink. The Easter Personalised Card Easter Egg Pink allows you to personalise it in the exact same way, but instead of blue it has a pink background and the lettering for the recipients name will also be in pink.

So, thats the invitations sorted! Now on with the hunt! What could be more perfect for an Easter egg hunt than the Tomy Hide and Squeak Eggs! These egg-cellant set of six eggs are full of character-quite literally in fact. Simply take the top off of the Hide and Squeak egg shells to reveal a colourful little chick inside! But these sweet loveable little tweety-pie chicks dont stop there, as when you press them down they also make a cute cheep sound too.

Tomy Hide and Squeak Eggs make a terrific Easter gift for tots aged 12 months up. This fantastic set also doubles up as a marvellous game, as underneath each egg there is a different shape, which corresponds with the bottom of the box. The cheeky chicks faces can also be matched up with their shells making it even more fun and entertaining.

These wonderful Tomy Hide and Squeak Eggs come presented in their very own bright yellow egg box. But seeing as your having an Egg hunt, you can split and mix them all up and dot them around the garden. That way not only have the kids got to find them, therell be bonus points for matching them up with their correct shells too!

Easter is all about new life. So how about giving some flowers life by planting some Egglings Eggling Flowers, around your garden for the children to find? Egglings are porous ceramic eggs, each of which contains soil and seeds to grow your very own flowers or herbs. There are 7 varieties to choose from; 4 flowers lobelia, daisy, petunia and lavender and 3 herbs Italian parsley, basil and mint. Once the children have found them, they can find a nice bright room with which to place them.

You dont have to be the offspring of Alan Titmarsh to be able to cultivate these blossoming eggs as all you need do is crack the Egglings top carefully with a spoon. Then simply put the cracked eggling on its terracotta tray and slowly water it, until the water begins to drain into the tray. Place in a bright room (ideally 60F or higher) and then wait for nature to takes its course! Once the little seeds begin to sprout, move the egglings to a sunny area and dont forget to water them! You can watch on with pride as your little egglings blossom and grow into fully fledged flowers or herbs.

Now, no Easter egg hunt would really be complete without a few edible eggs, now would it? So why not dot a few little luscious Thorntons Eggs around? The Thorntons Caramel Treat Egg is a soft flowing caramel centre surrounded by a mouth-watering milk chocolate shell, which will leave you wanting more! So why not get the Thorntons Orange Egg too? It has a zingy orange centre that compliments its chocolate shell. Just for the adults, there is the Thorntons Chocolate Truffle Egg! With its soft truffle centre and milk chocolate shell, it will melt in your mouth blissfully (and will definitely take your mind off the kids screaming around, tearing your home apart looking for eggs!)

what wall color would go with robins egg blue counters/tile?

I'm staging my house to sell and I'm not sure what to do with my master bath. The tile on the floor is that opaque tile from the 80's and is like a dusty robins eggs blue. The woodwork will be white when I paint it, and the counter is the same dusty robins egg blue. Both are in good condition and I wouldn't get the money back to change them, so I want to update the bathroom. What color should I paint the walls? I think white will be too stark.

paint you walls the lightest color of the robins egg blue color so pale that it almost looks white but is not so, dark color will overshadow the beauty and the style of your bathroom and will not look so good, going for a paler shade of the same color will lent more grace and elegance to the bathroom and make the colors harmonious too
