Beautiful Symbols of Easter

Lots of the things that people associate with spring are also associated with the Easter holiday. It's not necessarily because they both occur at the same time, but rather because there are many meaningful reasons behind quite a few of them. The home decor items at the Lake of the Ozarks that we have in store right now make excellent Easter decorations. After learning some of the symbolism surrounding them, they seem even more beautiful.

The Cross
This is a reminder of not only the crucifixion, but also the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. It signifies God's power to forgive sins and give new life. You are very likely to see hot cross buns on the Easter dinner table in homage to this.

Easter Eggs
Eggs at Easter time aren't just plastic containers for holding candy surprises. Many Christians see it as a reminder of the tomb from which Jesus arose. A long time ago, eggs colored red were made to symbolize the Resurrection. The baby chicks you see are the sign of new life from the eggs.

Easter Lilies
The fact that these beautiful flowers bloom close to Easter in the spring makes them ideal for a holiday flower. They also resemble trumpets, which happens to be a symbol for living forever with God.

Bunnies
In ancient times, the rabbit was seen as a symbol for abundant new life, which is a key theme for the Easter holiday.

Butterflies
These lovely creatures begin life as a caterpillar, which spins itself away into a cocoon. When it emerges, new and even more beautiful than ever, this life cycle can be seen as a symbol of eternal life. It is representative of Jesus living on Earth, his burial in a tomb, and his emerging from that tomb to an eternal life.

Lambs
Jesus was described by John the Baptist as the "Lamb of God," and there are many places in the bible where this title is used.

Pretzels
This snack food is often eaten during Lent and can be served for Easter. The shape resembles arms crossed in prayer.

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.

Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop is filled with lots of Easter gift ideas that are much more affordable than those eggs listed above.

If you think baskets are only for kids, then we've got some news for you! Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop is filled with lots of lovely Easter trinkets that any grown-up would love to receive.

More than a basket...

Sometimes the best thing about a tradition is changing it up a little bit. Not enough to change it entirely, but just enough to make it your own. Get creative with what you use for an Easter basket this year. No woman can resist a luxurious Brighton bag filled with chocolate! If you are shopping for a budding chef, pack a decorative mixing bowl with a combination of dyed and stuffed eggs. If it's something the recipient will enjoy and it can hold fun things inside it, make it the "basket."
