Easter Picnic: A Fresh Twist on Tradition

The Great Easter Egg Hunt

We always kick our Easter off with the classic egg hunt. If you want to add a twist that will get even the most skeptical teens involved, you can create a hunt with puzzles, riddles, cryptic clues, or tasks that need to be completed to earn the egg. It's like an Easter-themed escape room but with more fresh air. 

We always have one golden egg that contains $50.00, intensifying the hunt for the teens. For the smaller kids, the golden egg could be a piece of jewelry or a gift card for movies or games. Keep reading for more ideas! 

Creative Baskets for Every Age

When it comes to Easter baskets, think outside the box—or rather, the basket. For teens, consider filling those baskets with items that cater to their interests but still tie back to the theme of Spring and renewal. Think eco-friendly gifts or gift cards to their favorite outdoor gear shops. 

For adults, let's elevate the Easter basket to something more sophisticated: a basket filled with artisanal cheeses, a bottle of crisp spring wine, and perhaps a DIY kit for making their own herbal teas or charcuterie board. It's all about providing the ingredients for a perfect spring afternoon. 

If you need help with adult Easter basket gifts, we offer gift cards and curated picnic baskets! 

A Picnic Brunch to Remember

Now, on to the main event: the Easter picnic brunch. This is where you can really let your creativity shine. Lay out a spread on rustic picnic tables or on blankets under the shade of a blossoming tree. Use decor fitting for the season: bunnies, greenery, fresh-cut flowers, and brightly colored plates and utensils. 

For drinks, local wines and lemonade is refreshing. We enjoy pink lemonade with vodka at our gatherings. Kids (even adults!) will love their lemonades garnished with a sugared rim and brightly colored Peep.

For the menu, think fresh. A spring vegetable quiche, a salad with edible flowers, and freshly baked buns can make your picnic burst with flavors. Add trays of fresh fruits and veggies with dipping sauces. And, for a sweet touch, apple cinnamon muffins and mini cheesecakes topped with carrot-shaped chocolates could provide that Instagram-worthy moment.
