Spring is finally here and with it comes one of the most fun Easter traditions: being “egged”! If you’re not familiar with the term, being egged is when someone secretly leaves a basket of candy and goodies on your doorstep. It’s a great way to spread Easter cheer and surprise your friends and family!
Check Out This Adorable Idea!
One clever idea for being egged is to create this adorable Easter basket on your doorstep. Simply gather some fake grass, plastic eggs, and your favorite Easter treats and arrange them in a basket. Add a fun sign welcoming guests to your “egged” home and voila! You have a festive and welcoming entrance for Easter.
How to Egg your Family and Friends
Now that you have a great idea for welcoming guests to your home, it’s time to start “egging” your family and friends. Here’s how:
Step 1: Gather Supplies
- Plastic eggs
- Candy and treats
- Baskets or bags
- Ribbon or twine
- Printable signs (like the one featured above!)
Step 2: Plan Your Attack
Decide who you want to egg and when. It’s fun to do it when they’re not expecting it, like in the middle of the night or when they’re at work or school.
Step 3: Assemble the Baskets
Fill the plastic eggs with your chosen treats and seal them shut. Next, arrange the eggs and any additional treats in baskets or bags and tie with ribbon or twine. You can even add Easter grass for a fun touch.
Step 4: Leave the Basket and Run!
Sneak over to your friend or family member’s doorstep and leave the basket of goodies. Make sure you don’t get caught! You can even ring the doorbell and run away, just like ding-dong-ditch.
“Egging” Without Plastic Eggs
If you want to be more eco-friendly or just want to switch things up, there are plenty of other ways to “egg” your loved ones. Here are a few ideas:
Surprise Doorstep Brunch
Instead of plastic eggs filled with candy, why not create a basket filled with breakfast treats? Things like muffins, fruit, yogurt, and coffee or tea make for a perfect surprise doorstep brunch.
Scavenger Hunt
If you really want to up the ante, create a scavenger hunt for your friends and family. Hide clues around the house or neighborhood that eventually lead to a basket of goodies.
You’ve Been “Floured”!
If you want to take things in a more mischievous direction, consider “flouring” instead of “egging” your loved ones. Simply sneak over to their doorstep and sprinkle flour everywhere to create a faux snowstorm. It’s a harmless prank that will leave them laughing!
Spread Easter Cheer
Whether you use plastic eggs, a surprise doorstep brunch, or a mischievous prank, “egging” is a fun way to spread Easter cheer and surprise your loved ones. So gather your supplies, plan your attack, and get ready for some egg-citing memories!
