Although traditionally celebrated as the end of Lent, Easter has evolved over the past few decades to be about egg hunting, gift giving, the revival of spring and the ending of winter. For retail it has become all about chocolate eggs and Easter Bunnies.
Easter is more than just a fun day to spend eating candy with the family. A total of 79 percent of Americans expected to celebrate the holiday and spend a collective $22 billion.
Easter Hunts
Egg hunts are a traditional event, especially for kids. People of all ages love finding hidden items and plastic eggs are great for small candies and other toy items. People need lots of plastic eggs and all the little candy and gift surprises to fill them. Get these items from wholesale suppliers and profit for the holiday.
Easter Baskets
Multicoloured eggs and small wicker baskets filled with yellow chicks create a beautiful gift basket. As Easter is such a colorful holiday, pastels and rainbow colors are a must, so let your imagination run wild.
Some of the most popular items consumers love to include in an Easter basket are chocolate bunnies, individually wrapped candy, arts and crafts, chewy candy, and bunny stuffed animals. While these are hot commodities, there are plenty of other wholesale merchandise retailers can offer shoppers to make the most stunning baskets:
