Bunnies, yellow chicks, chocolate eggs, and spring flowers—what would Easter be without them? Yet, sometimes the cost of celebrating this holiday can take the fun out of it. Easter doesn’t have to break the bank, though. Here are five great ways to save money this Easter and still have a great time!

Create Your Own Easter Egg Hunt

Instead of paying for your children to attend an Easter egg hunt, hold your own in your backyard or at a local park. Pick up some colourful plastic eggs that you can fill yourself, and reuse from year to year. They also work for your furry friends—just replace the chocolate with dog treats and have an Easter ‘beg’ hunt.

Make Yummy Easter Treats

Seasonal cookie cutters and treat molds will help you to bake something that tastes delicious and looks adorable this year. A more affordable option than the local bakery or dessert at a fancy restaurant, you can reuse these supplies annually. Also, you get to spend quality time in the kitchen with your kids decorating the goodies.

Save on Easter Favours

Having an Easter party? Don’t blow your budget on pricey pre-made Easter favours. Instead, pick up our carrot-shaped favour bags and either fill them with seasonal treats, or non-edible alternatives like stickers and erasers.

Design Your Own Easter Arrangement

Easter wouldn’t be the celebration of the spring without flowers. However, floral arrangements can be expensive. A great alternative if you want to get mom some blooms or just want to make your Easter table look a bit prettier is to make your own. Pick up some simple cut flowers, a bunch or carrots, and a vase and you can create something amazing like this.

Enjoy an Easter Afternoon Tea

After all the hustle and bustle of what can be a very active Easter morning, it’s relaxing to spend the afternoon with a cup of tea and some sandwiches, scones, and sweets. However, this can be an extravagant indulgence if you go to a local hotel or teashop. Instead, our For Tea’s Sake teas and a few treats in the comfort of your own home are all you need to enjoy some well-deserved tranquility!

Hop on over to our Coquitlam or Langley store before the big day, and we’ll be happy to help you find everything you need for a cheap and cheerful Easter!
