Dear Ernie,
I’ve had a tough year, and I want to thank my friends and significant other for being there for me and helping me navigate through all the battles that I have been facing lately. I was thinking of putting an Easter basket together for each of them, but I don’t know what to put in the baskets! What would you recommend?
Sincerely,
The Easter Enthusiast
Dear Easter Enthusiast,
I love the idea! That is a great way to say thank you to your friends and significant other, especially around this time of year. Here is what I recommend:
For your significant other:
- Snacks and Candy: you can never go wrong with putting your significant other’s favorite snacks and candy into the basket!
- Kites: going on a date and flying kites on a beautiful day would be a great way to enjoy spending time with each other.
- Something that has to do with a hobby of theirs. Think about what they like to do for fun!
- Lottery tickets
- Gift cards for their favorite store or restaurant are always a great option too!
For your friends:
- Bath bombs and face masks: who doesn’t love a nice self-care day?
- A gift card to their favorite coffee shop: every student loves enjoying a nice coffee or tea every once in a while!
- Fun games to play as a group
- Snacks and candy that are Easter-related
- Lottery tickets
Hope you find the recommendations helpful!
Keep on soaring,
Ernie
