How to choose the best Easter gifts
Easter gifts need not necessarily be too expensive, yet nor should they be confined to traditional Easter gifts like chocolate and flowers to be considered special. Remember, it is always the thought that counts, showing someone just how important they really are to you.
In order to help you save time with your Easter gift woes, here is a quick guide on how to choose the best Easter gifts:
Take note of your loved one’s favourite color, flavour or tastes. This applies when giving flowers and chocolates. If the recipient loves pink, give her a bouquet of pink flowers. Alternatively, a beautiful arrangement of her favourite flowers will also put you in her good books. Consider your recipient’s favourite chocolates, too, factoring in things like brand preference, dark or white chocolate and with or without nuts or almonds.
Consider giving personalised gifts. If you cannot think of an ideal gift, personalised gift baskets and cards are recommended. The trick here is to use your creativity to impress your recipient. For kids, this works especially well and they’ll love the extra personalised touch.
Edible gifts don’t just have to be chocolate. Surprise your special someone with a gourmet basket or a special meal.
Clothes and accessories can be good Easter gifts. If your recipient loves fashion accessories, you can give a stylish brand that will make a perfect addition to their favourite outfit.
Prepare your family’s favourite dishes. If you’re thinking of giving your rare spare time as a gift instead, buy a DVD for you to watch with your entire family together and cook their favourite foods and snacks. Bonding at home means spending quality time together, plus it can also save you money over dining out at an expensive restaurant.
Never discount the significance of Easter cards. You can send e-cards to distant friends and family members and remind them of how much they mean to you.
Think of your recipient’s hobby. Giving your recipient a craft set or something that could be useful in pursuing a hobby will bring much happiness.
Kids love toys, sweets and colourful things. Educational and interactive toys are always a good idea, or you can spoil them with sweets and paint a smile on their faces.
A sweet escape for your wife or the entire family is one of the best options. Book a hotel for you to relax and get pampered for the entire weekend. You can book an exciting adventure to experience the beauty Australia has to offer. Never forget to take advantage of finder.com.au’s deals to get huge savings.

The history of Easter
This coming April, the whole Christian community will celebrate Easter Sunday, one of the most sacred holidays on the Christian calendar. Easter is preceded by a period of Lent, which is a period of repentance.
As the New Testament tells us, Christ suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day he rose again and was seated at the right hand of the Father. In other words, Easter is the commemoration of the resurrection of Christ. In observance, people would spend time visiting churches and the rest of the days from Maundy Thursday until Easter are spent for recreation and relaxation with family and close friends. Gift giving and exchanges of Easter greetings are always part of this celebration.
