Ah, Easter – the harbinger of spring, the annual celebration of rebirth and renewal. While many of us have fond childhood memories of simple Easter baskets filled with a few chocolate eggs and maybe a plush bunny, the modern Easter has truly hopped into the big leagues of gifting holidays.
With Easter landing on March 31st this year, the countdown is on for businesses to stock up on egg-citing products and hop to it with some sweet promotions. After all, who doesn’t love an excuse to indulge in delectable treats and shower loved ones with whimsical surprises?
So dust off your rabbit ears and get ready to embrace your inner Easter bunny, because we’ve gathered a basket full of unique gifting ideas guaranteed to make your customers do a happy little tail wiggle.
From gourmet chocolate confections to cheeky adult novelties, this Easter is all about elevating the classic traditions with a contemporary twist.
Let’s take a look at some egg-straordinary options to fill those baskets to the brim!
The Basket:
While there’s undeniable charm in those classic pink and purple baskets adorned with floppy rabbit ears, we’re living in an era where sustainability is king. This Easter, consider gifting baskets that can easily transition from egg-cradling vessel to chic home décor piece once the holiday festivities have wound down.
Ditch the classic pink/purple rabbit baskets. Opt for sustainable, reusable options:
- Woven seagrass/willow baskets (creamy whites, warm browns)
- Sleek ceramic or matte black vessels
Elegant, versatile pieces that transition from Easter to home decor. Line with a linen napkin and fill with gourmet treats. Use as centerpieces, catchalls for office/bathroom.
Sustainable style that’s egg-cellent!
Stuffies:
No Easter basket is complete without a cuddly stuffed animal companion. Go beyond the classic bunny:
- Lambs with gentle baas
- Plump birds with bright eyes (symbolizing spring)
- Quirky options like vibrant stuffed dinosaurs
- Let your imagination run wild with the plush critter selection
Create a vibrant menagerie of plush pals to delight and bring smiles. An assortment of cuddly critters will make your Easter basket the cutest on the bunny trail.
With an array of vibrant plush pals keeping watch, that Easter basket is bound to be the cutest one on the bunny trail.
Outdoor Toys:
In many parts of Canada, Easter often ushers in a delightful preview of spring’s warmth . Why not embrace this fleeting taste of spring by including some fun outdoor toys in your Easter baskets this year?
In Canada, Easter often brings a preview of spring warmth. Include outdoor toys like:
