Easter egg hunts aren’t just for kids, but we do recommend leaving the chocolate and jelly beans to them. Why? Because we love manicures, wine, and beauty products more. Here are some ideas to make the most of your adult Easter egg hunt.
Vintage Finds
Who wouldn’t want to crack open their egg to find a gaudy vintage brooch, vintage earrings, or even a vintage embroidered handkerchief? Not all of the eggs have to be filled with vintage goodies, but they’re fun trinkets to pepper in.
Lights, Camera, Action
In a couple of the eggs, hide movie tickets or a gift certificate to the movies.
Bath Bombs
In the name of self-care, you simply can’t go wrong with bath bombs in Easter eggs.
Feeling Lucky?
Raffle tickets are always a great idea because that means you get to go shopping for the prizes, and nobody knows your friend group better than you. Put a ticket in each egg, then guests get to claim their corresponding prize at the end of the hunt.
Polish Up Real Nice
If the Easter egg hunt is for the girls only, put a bottle of nail polish or nail stickers in each egg, and after the hunt is over, do each other’s nails while you enjoy a few more mimosas.
Handbag Essentials
Easter eggs are the perfect size for small lip balms, small bottles of hand sanitizer, mints, and gum – all the handbag essentials!
Wine Times
You can fit a single-serving bottle of wine in jumbo plastic Easter eggs. Do with that information what you will.
Follow the Recipe
You can go about this a couple of different ways. You can fill each egg with a different recipe, then have a dinner party where everyone is responsible for their dish. Or you can theme the recipe cards so that everyone has a new dessert recipe to take home and try. (Or jam, side dish, bread, pastry, etc.)
Play the Lottery
Lottery tickets are always fun because you never know who will win big. Just make sure to establish some sort of rule about sharing the winnings before you get started.
GRWM to Hunt Easter Eggs
