Easter Gift Ideas

Hej!




Hooray, Spring is finally here! I love decorating my home for each season and planning little treats or activities to accompany it.  In fact, in my head I am ususally at least a couple of seasons ahead just planning what I will do!! So, I say Spring is here and whislt it certainly is, the weather around me still has a chill in the air reminding me of winter. I'm going to use that as the reason that I have not yet started Springifying my house! I've begun looking out the boxes ready to roll Spring on out here at Libiniavia HQ...

To get me in the mood I have put together a few Easter treats as gifts for loved ones and I wanted to share with you my simple ideas!

Treat bags for kids:



In my stash I had some easter gift bags and ribbon. I'd been planning to use some of these for baking treats but thought it would be the perfect thing to throw in a few Easter goodies for some little cousins! I picked the bags up in a Poundland a couple of years ago but I notice they seem to have similar ones this year too. Try and keep your eyes peeled for seasonal bags like this, they are great for so many projects.  I filled two bags, both for little girls but you can fill these up with absolutely anything to suit any age. In these I stuffed a Frozen egg (filled with stickers and jelly beans), some small kinder eggs and a little finger puppet I found at IKEA.  I plan to finish the bag with little stickers with each girls name on it.



Easter Basket:


Once again Poundland was a great place to grab some inexpensive seasonal items.  I headed there to find some sort of basket and found this purple felt one with an egg trim and bunny cut outs.  They had several colours but this was the best match for my friend.  I packed it with a Dairy Milk Buttons Chocolate Egg (i liked the fact the box was purple and it filled the basket nicely), I had an extra Frozen egg left over and seeing as my friend is a big Disney fan it seemed a good idea to throw it in here!, and lastly a cute carrot!! I loved this sweetie carrot as soon as I saw it, in fact it is what inspired me to give Easter treats this year! It's just a cone shaped bag filled with orange jelly beans


Hollow Egg:



The Swedish side of me was drawn to this egg which I found in IKEA. I actually already have a similar one which was given to me in a previous year but I thought it would be fun to get a new one and fill it with some of my hubby's favourite candy!  In Sweden you can find eggs like this all over the place at this time of year.  In many ways I prefer the idea of these to the chocolate eggs people usually receive as you can fill it with absolutely anything. It also looks cute just sitting around on the coffee table as a decoration




I hope you have enjoyed seeing these small gifts I have prepared and that it gives you some inspiration.  All three can be so easily adapted to suit any recepient, all three are budget friendly (maximum price of one bundle was £3), and all three are beautifully presented!  Do you prepare gifts at Easter? I'd love to hear your ideas or traditions!

Watch out for a peek at my Spring home decor coming soon!
