Now, Santa\u2014I got that guy. Big dude, cool sleigh, lots of presents. But why was the Easter Bunny hiding eggs? Why did he want us to color the eggs first? And why was he on his hind legs?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, there was candy, so I didn\u2019t question it <em>too<\/em> much. You want to hide eggs? Knock yourself out, Bugs. I\u2019ll be eating some jelly beans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s kind of the thing with Easter; culturally, it often falls a distant second to Christmas. It doesn\u2019t have to be that way, though. You can have Easter traditions that are as lovely and meaningful as your Christmas ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those traditions can be an Easter gift exchange. A Hidden Hare. A Reclusive Rabbit. A Concealed Cottontail. Call it what you want: an Easter gift exchange makes this sacred Sunday a time of even more joy and togetherness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for Hosting an Easter Gift Exchange<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In theory, hosting an Easter gift exchange is no different than hosting a Secret Santa at any other time. Start by finding a great <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/content\/gift-exchange-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\">online gift exchange generator<\/a>, ideally one that will allow everyone to make wish lists and let you buy directly from that list. Make sure everyone knows the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/content\/secret-santa-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">rules for a Secret Santa <\/a>(or Lurking Lepus or whatever). The generator will pair people up, you browse their list, and buy gifts. Simple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can have any kind of gift exchange you want. But if you want to play up the Easter theme, all pastel-colored and redolent of lilacs, there are a few other things you can do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Up Games for the Kids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most kids are too young to really participate in a gift exchange. So, consider also having fun kids games at your <a href=\"\/blog\/2017\/03\/27\/easter-party-ideas-for-toddlers-kids-and-the-young-at-heart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Easter party<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Egg decorating (an oldie but a goodie)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Egg toss (recommended for outdoors)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arts and crafts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scavenger hunts with an Easter theme<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Race to see who can eat the most jelly beans (well, maybe only if you want kids hyped up on sugar)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See who can guess how many jelly beans are in a jar (okay, that\u2019s better)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Petting zoo (if you have access to a rabbit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plant spring flowers (if you\u2019re at a house with a garden)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These games will keep the kids entertained while the adults swap gifts and stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easter Basket for Teenagers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have teens in your family, you know they might be too young for the gift exchange but too old to decorate eggs. Some of the above games will appeal to them, but they might feel left out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here\u2019s an idea: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/blog\/2018\/02\/12\/the-best-easter-basket-ideas-for-a-teenager\/\" target=\"_blank\">make an Easter gift basket for the teenagers<\/a> at your gathering. Think about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/381\/\" target=\"_blank\">gift ideas for teens<\/a>, such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/512\/\" target=\"_blank\">sports<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/44\/\" target=\"_blank\">music<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/6\/\" target=\"_blank\">books<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/528\/\" target=\"_blank\">movies<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">games<\/a>. It doesn\u2019t have to be expensive. It just has to be something that shows you care about them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Themes for an Easter Gift Exchange<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, I want to emphasize that if you have a gift exchange, you can do whatever you want. You can have any theme. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=avengers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">If you want an Avengers Easter<\/a>, you do you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more traditional Easter themes, here are a few gift exchange ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/572\/\" target=\"_blank\">Easter decor<\/a>.<\/strong> Carry the green tidings throughout the rest of spring with Easter decor. From decorative carrots to ring holders to beautiful ceramic mugs, you can have that feeling of Easter morning whenever you want.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=gardening\" target=\"_blank\">Gardening<\/a>.<\/strong> It\u2019s spring. It\u2019s time for the earth to awaken. If your family plants, having a garden themed gift exchange is perfect for Easter. From tools to seeds to books, there\u2019s no shortage of gift options.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/search\/?q=arts%20and%20crafts\" target=\"_blank\">Art and crafts<\/a>.<\/strong> This time of the year inspires me to<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/free-printables\/easter-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\"> get creative<\/a>. If you\u2019re the same, you can exchange items for arts and crafts or other hobbies. It\u2019s a way to encourage people to keep pursuing what makes them happy.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/shop\/gift-guides\/812\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Eco-Friendly<\/a>.<\/strong> There are tons of eco-friendly gifts, from sandals to razors to cleaning products. If your goal is to reduce your footprint, this is a great gift exchange idea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are limitless themes. Pick the one that means something to you and your loved ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make an Easter Gift Exchange Your New Tradition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I love Easter. I love the traditions behind it, and I love where it falls in the year. It feels like you\u2019re turning a corner. But the great thing about traditions is that they can, like the flowers crawling out of fresh earth, grow. They can incorporate new things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My family has really enjoyed our Easter gift exchange. It means we\u2019re looking at the new season together. It means we\u2019re sharing love on this day of warmth and brightness. It means we\u2019re together, looking at the sun, and feeling hopeful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cta-box\"><strong><em>If you\u2019re doing an Easter gift exchange, you want a <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/secret-santa-generator\/\"><strong><em>Secret Santa generator<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> that makes everything go smoothly. <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/\"><strong><em>Elfster<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> will help you pair people up, shop for gifts, and <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/auth\/register\/\"><strong><em>start a Wish List<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.
