I’m glad I have children in my family. Easter is a holiday to indulge in giving all kinds of trinkets in the prettiest spring shades (without spending Christmas-sized $$), and having fun making decorations for the table. At my house, my son also receives a basket from the Easter bunny—although these days its usually filled with Lego. But this year I’m going to do a little something for everyone at the dinner table, and it won’t include chocolate.
Have a knitter in the family? Add a skein of pretty yarn. An avid reader? The newest paperback will be a hit. Salt water taffy, in all its lovely pastel colours, will look amazing thrown in. Some stickers for a crafter, some labels for the person who loves to make preserves. A tiny book of Sudoku puzzles for the frequent traveller. It doesn’t have to be big, or expensive—indeed, for Easter it shouldn’t be—but it is nice to know that someone is thinking about you. Wrap it all with pretty vintage ribbon and you’ve got a perfect table favour or hostess gift!
