The Most Popular Easter Basket Fillers

Easter is this weekend, and all of you that will be stuffing plastic eggs and filling Easter baskets are probably deciding what use. Good & Perfect Gifts did a little research, and we found out what the most popular Easter basket items are. 


Popular Easter gifts
Candy is the top gift to give for Easter. Halloween is the only other holiday that beats it for candy consumption. 

Chocolate is the most popular candy to give in a basket. 90 million chocolate bunnies are made every year for Easter. It's a proven fact that over 75% of people always start with the ears for their first bite. 

Peeps are the most popular non-chocolate candy with over 700 million produced at Easter, and apparently jelly beans are pretty popular too. Over 16 million of theses are consumed over the holiday.

Exchanging eggs as a symbol of rebirth and new life actually dates back to before the holiday of Easter.

White lilies are a lovely gift to give your Easter brunch hostess. They are a symbol of resurrection, which is perfect for this holiday.




Got a little extra cash to spend?
The original Faberge eggs were created by Peter Carl Faberge and his company between 1885 and 1917. The House of Faberge made about 50 of these unique eggs, and today only 43 are still known to have survived. The most famous of these were made for Russian Tsars Alexander III & Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers.  

An egg that was created to be a cross between a Faberge Egg and Damien Hirst's jewel encrusted skull is covered in 1,000 diamonds and opens to reveal an 18 carat gold globe. The golden globe also opens to produce a crystal bird. It took 3 years to complete this beauty and was put together by a team of artisans from all over the world. 

One of the most expensive chocolate eggs ever was made out of Venezuelan Amadei chocolate. This one also took 3 days to create. Seven chefs worked together to make this 110-pound treat that was filled with handcrafted William Curley chocolates in a variety of flavors and covered in edible gold leaf.
