Delayed Easter Tips

I realised I haven't updated this blog in a while, and it's because I had far too much to do. But today I decided to finally update :D

So Easter is approaching fast, and I've heard a lot of people complain about how pricey gifts are this year. Some complaining that 6 Euro is far too much for a "figolla" and some complaining that the Kinder Easter eggs never have cool enough toys inside and are therefore not worth it. This bothers me quite a lot. If something is bothering you this much, why put up with it?

If you think 6 Euro is too much for a "figolla", but the ingredients and make your own. You'll manage to make about 3 for the price of a store bought one. Not to mention that they're great fun to make and often taste better than the ready made ones. People also appreciate them more knowing you spend the time making something for them.

If you think the toys in eggs aren't good enough for kids, well, you're missing the whole point of the egg. The children won't care if the toy is lame if the chocolate is great. So instead on focusing on what toy there is inside, try focusing on what the chocolate will taste like. I remember getting a few eggs as a child where the toy was ok, but the chocolate was horrible. It defeated the point of the egg entirely. Besides there are a lot of great chocolate eggs out there that come with adorable toys and don't compromise the chocolate goodness.

I for one won't be bothering with many of these gifts. I prefer to think my gifts through. Although I do love buying Easter eggs for the people I care about, I'd much rather focus on getting them something they'll remember.

I don't want to spoil the surprise for those who might be getting something from me, so I'll tell you about it after Easter ;)

Those of you who need ideas and want to borrow mine, let me know. I'd be more than happy to help.
