Even though Easter is not widely celebrated in India, it can be a fun opportunity to surprise your Indian friends and family with some unique gifts. As Easter traditions are quite different from Indian cultural norms, finding creative ways to celebrate can bring some new joy and connection. Here are some ideas to spread Easter cheer in India:
Baking or ordering some classic Easter treats like bunny-shaped cookies, hot cross buns, colorful cupcakes or cakes can make for a delightful surprise. The novelty and cuteness of these Easter goodies will appeal to people of all ages. You can have them delivered with a personalized card wishing your friends “Happy Easter!”
Giving chocolate Easter eggs wrapped in brightly colored foil is a great Easter classic. Opt for high-quality chocolates or confections from Indian artisanal brands rather than mass-market eggs made abroad. Combine this tasty treat with a beautiful spring flower bouquet for an extra special surprise.
Send a beautifully arranged Easter gift basket filled with plush bunnies, chocolate eggs, scented candles, a greeting card and more Easter surprises. Tailor your gift basket by theme depending on the recipient’s personality – pastels and flowers for someone traditional or bright colors and quirky items for the free spirit.
If your friends and family are game for silliness, organize an impromptu Easter Bonnet Competition over video call. Ship fun crafting supplies like feathers, ribbons, pom poms, pipe cleaners, glue and more to everyone in advance. Give a prize to the wackiest or most fabulous bonnet design. Enjoy all the laughter together.
Buy some eggs and vibrant food dyes or paints and arrange for an egg decorating activity over video call. Judge the prettiest eggs or vote on superlatives like “Most Creative” or “Brightest Colors”. Display your egg masterpieces together at the end. The activity can be silly and tactile fun across generations.
Gifting thoughtfully chosen Easter treats or organizing interactive online activities can give your Indian loved ones a joyful chance to celebrate a new holiday, making some special memories together even from afar.
