I always conjure the picture of an egg when I hear the word Easter. When I was younger, I even though that the celebration of Easter was somehow relevant to an egg. Something about the chickens, maybe? Back then, I was not really sure what Easter was all about. As I grew older, however, I realized how very significant the Easter Sunday is in the lives of Christians. It is the day that symbolizes the rebirth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This is the very reason why we have a lot to celebrate for during that day.
I remember seeing Easter celebrations revolving around games and every kind of festivity one can think of. I have also come to realize that the eggs that I so commonly saw during these celebrations were to symbolize birth or life. And indeed, birth and the ensuing life of our savior and of ours is truly something to be amazed at and be happy about. Easter eggs were also popular for being decorated and then given as gifts. I guess this has something to do about bringing artistry to life and giving someone a symbolic attribute to life.
Easter is a lot of things, and just like many celebrations, it also involves gifts. Easter gifts are as varied and as parallel as with any other gift-giving celebrations, but in some ways, they are also unique. For instance, who would give someone a decorated egg in Christmas or in ones birthday? The uniqueness that comes with some of the popular Easter gifts comes with their relevance to the celebration. One thing I have also noticed about the gifts given away during these celebrations is that they are not always and necessarily things bought from the store. There are a lot of gift items given during Easter that are homemade or personalized.
With Easter comes the festivity expected of a celebration life and birth. And although Easter gifts need not be expensive or even bought, they require thought in order to make them even more special and more symbolic of life and sharing. Below are some gift ideas that you can give for Easter.
Religiously-themed.
Easter is mostly a Christian celebration. Thus, religiously-themed gift items around Christianity are often popular. These can include the bible, or even simple bookmarks with religious passages will do.
Novelty items.
The decorated egg is one of the most popular gifts given during Easter, and it is a novelty item. It can be a way of expressing your artistry to the one you are giving it to, or it may be a way symbolically sharing life, as what the egg typically represents in Easter celebrations. There are a lot of different designs that you can beautify your egg with. You need not be an official or professional artist; all you need is the thought.
Home-made.
What makes the Easter gift giving truly special is how the gifts come with a lot of thought, especially when they are home made. The person receiving the gift will really be able to say that the effort alone makes it wonderful. You can probably bake cookies or brownies for your home-made gift.
Easter represents the celebration of life, let your Easter gifts show that.
