Easter is hopping up which means it’s time to get prepared for one of the holiday’s best traditions– the Easter egg hunt! Typically Easter eggs are filled with chocolate and jelly beans. Finding alternatives that are small enough to fit into those little plastic eggs can be a challenge. But if you’re hoping to make your Easter egg hunt different this year– and maybe even more adult friendly, here are some ideas for how to fill Easter eggs with small gifts.
Springy Earrings
Earrings are certainly small enough to stuff inside an Easter egg. And these Spring Blooms Iris earrings on Etsy are perfect for the season. They’re only $6, plus the seller offers free shipping in the US and Canada.
Origami Money
Dollars bills can certainly be folded up small enough to fit inside Easter eggs. But why not make it more special with origami? Watch this video about how to fold your money into fun shapes like a heart.
Single-Serve Coffee
Appeal to older egg hunters by stuffing eggs with single-serve instant coffee packets. Starbucks Via sticks will make an ideal gift and they’re small enough to fit inside your eggs.
Seed Packets
Get everyone in the mood for spring by filling your Easter eggs with seed packets. Head to your local garden store for a wide variety of veggie and flower seeds.
Tiny Toys
There are lots of great deals on small toys that are the perfect size for stuffing inside plastic eggs. Check out these Easter stamps or assorted Easter stickers.
DIY Necklace
Head to your local craft store and pick up small supplies for making a necklace. Rather than make it yourself, stuff the egg with necessary items like string, beads and clasp so the egg hunter can make it themselves.
Key Caps
Turn a boring key into something fun with a key cap from Urban Outfitters. You can put one inside each egg. Choose between the peanut butter and jelly set or kitty key caps.
