Easter is a time for parents and children to get together with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins for a joyous occasion. This means Easter gifts, fun, and surprises for the whole family. So today, we will look at a few fun gifts to make everyone happy.
As the greatest Christian festival of the year, Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ. It also marks the unofficial beginning of spring.
Traditionally, people enjoyed a big Easter meal at home with relatives and friends. Today, however, crowds flock to restaurants to enjoy the most delectable food as a five course meal. They even have a special meal for children.
Gifts are a big part of Easter today. They range from a bouquet of red roses or a bottle of wine to a strand of elegant pearls or an expensive watch.
Luckily, children love any gift they get. They get excited over a handful of balloons, a chocolate egg, some silly putty, or a small stuffed animal.
So let us take a look at some gifts that are sure to gladden the heart.
For adults, here are 4 fun gifts:
1) Easter Basket with Surprises - Adults love surprises and an Easter basket filled with surprises for each person is fun. Here are a few suggestions of what to put into the basket: That person's favorite perfume or aftershave, a handkerchief with the person's initial, a chocolate egg, a small digital calculator, and a book of crosswords and puzzles.
2) Magical Name Scroll - This colorful scroll features the person's first name and its meaning, as well as the name's history, and famous people with that name. The background is a beautiful painting or a crest. There is a golden crown, seals, and an intricate border. Plus, a free gift comes with each scroll.
3) Easter Egg Jewelry - This magical jewelry features enameled Easter eggs on brooches, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Inspired by the famous Faberge eggs of the Russian Empire, Easter egg jewelry makes a unique Easter gift.
4) Compact Binoculars - To better see those Easter rabbits frolicking in your garden, a pair of 13 x 25 mm wide-angle binoculars would be the perfect gift.
They weigh less than 12 ounces and fit easily in a pocket or purse.
Teens will appreciate this Easter basket of mysteries:
Easter Basket with Mystery Gifts - Teens love mysteries and these little gifts will delight them. What to put in their baskets? Let us take a look. Games, videos, and movies go over well. LED warning lights to attach to clothes or a bicycle at night, Harry Potter books and movies, a one-time use digital camera, and a jewelry making kit all make quite a hit.
Younger children love getting an Easter basket like the following:
Easter Basket with Silly Gifts - Silly gifts are just what children want, so try the following: Finger puppets, a crown, or a tiara that lights up, or an animated toy rabbit that swings and sings. Also, a Play-Doh pack with 24 colors and accessories, a play telephone with your recorded messages in it, and perhaps, best of all, a big, soft plastic eyeball you can stick anywhere - even on your forehead.
Well, that is about it. I hope these Easter gifts, fun, and surprises for the whole family will give you some ideas to make your Easter especially happy.

Night In Satun
My Mercedes is waiting. The sun beams diffusely down through the moisture laden air causing beads of sweat to drip continuously on my already drenched t-shirt. I am going to Satun and the Mercedes is a classic well kept 1962 model. In fact there is a whole fleet of Mercedes waiting to take tourist to Satun from Hai Jai in Southern Thailand. They are all black with an exaggerated curved body indicative of automobiles of the late 50's. And believe it or not, they still retain the comfort that Mercedes is famous for.
The year is 1998 and I am going to the Andaman Sea in the Straits of Malacca. There I will plant myself for two weeks on one of the many somewhat deserted islands that dot this reclusive part of the world. A world inhabited by pirates and honeymooners in the Koh Tarutao National Park system in the very south of Southern Thailand.
Which island I am going to, I don't know, but I am not the only one. Sharing my taxi ride is a young couple in love from Germany and a family from Thailand, husband and wife with their 5 year old son.
It takes about twenty minutes for the taxi driver to stuff everyone's belongings into the trunk. I have made substantial purchases of deliciously fresh dried fruits and filled my water container with pomegranate juice from one of the ‘made for tourist' vendors surrounding the taxi. We squeeze into tightly together; the family and myself in the rear of the taxi and the couple from Germany in the front and prepare for a long and fascinating journey.
"Are you comfortable" the driver asks in broken English.
I answer like an excited kid, "Let's get this rocket rolling."
My feelings were of excitement and anticipation and I don't know why I said such a strange thing. No one else said anything and I felt as if my words were still echoing in the silence minutes later. But no matter, here I am in the middle of the world, on an adventure that relatively few have gone before.
The journey takes 3 hours of driving through exotic and undeveloped country side; incidentally through a warm and friendly Islamic side of Thailand. At one point we passed two foreigners on bicycles pedaling in racing uniforms. Later they caught up to us in some remote village on the way as we were stopping for refreshment. They came up next to our taxi and said with a heavy European accent "hello?" I answered, "Wow! I can't believe this! What are you doing way out here in the middle of nowhere on bicycles?"
The young man in his twenties answered, "We are traveling around the world. We are on our way to Indonesia." The other couple traveling in the taxi with me immediately took notice and a very long and interesting conversation ensues between all of us.
It turns out that the bicyclists are a married couple and the last county they pedaled through was Myanmar. After Indonesia, they planned to cycle the islands of Hawaii and then to Mainland USA.
To this day I still have dreams of that encounter and the miraculous and dangerous journey they were taking. I have never heard of them since and have no idea what became of them.
Before we know it, the taxi driver is honking his horn for us to return and we are saying our goodbyes to this marvelous couple. We pile into the taxi for the last leg of our journey. Looking out the window we pass fields of coconut palms, women balancing wood or foods in baskets on their heads wearing colorful loose clothing down to their feet. The homes we pass by are often made of palm frawns or a patchwork of wood and debris. And in the fields are men and women, young and old with their ox and children tilling vegetables in the same way at their ancestors have done for thousands of years.
Finally we reach Satun. I don't know what to expect. The town is about two blocks long; a fishing village whose main street leads right to the ocean. There fishing boats made of old rotting lumber wait to take us to one of the many islands we will now select in the many makeshift tourist offices that line the street.
Each old rickety tourist office has pictures of the islands they offer and provide for a fee, the means to get their. And if you are uninformed, you will pay in advance for you accommodations. Something better to do when you arrive on the island. Occasionally an owner of one of these offices tries to get us inside by enticing us with words like ‘beautiful, exotic, cheap...' We all walk down the main avenue looking and asking questions until each of us select our travel destination destiny.
I study all the pictures from all the offices of all the islands carefully and I choose Langkawi only 5 kilometers away from the southern tip of Tarutao Island. I pay the equivalent of approximately $7 for a round trip boat ticket and I am then led to one of the boats. The boat can fit about 4 people and sits low to the water. There is single engine propeller that is barely hangs attached to the rear of the craft. I wait about 15 minutes before we begin our three hour journey through rough and dangerous seas to the somewhat deserted and exotic island of Langkawi...
My days on the island with boa constrictors, pirates, a lost tribe of Islamic fishermen, my isolated beach cottage right on my own private beach, the couple isolated on the other side of the island studying esoteric Buddhism, the small exotic café serving daily fresh fish from the sea, the many tourist from Europe that came and went, lightening in the sky on a clear day and the marvelous skin diving in clear deep tropical sears are topics I will discuss in my next article. Stay turned.

The last question I answered was from a muscle-bound guy that asked what the color of your first bicycle was..
...and there were 52 one-word answers that covered every color there is...
This is what the list of answers looked like as your eyes scanned down the computer screen
...blue, green, blue, blue, black, pink, pink, green, blue, white, orange with a pink basket, blue, blue, navy blue, blue, black, green, blue, blue, red, orange, yellow, blue, green, blue...
blue, blue, green, yellow, blue, blue, blue, candy-striped, blue, blue, green, green and blue...
(except for my answer, of course...mine kinda' stood out from the rest...)
Do you think the 27 people who just said "blue," ought to get best answer...?
(I'm gonna have trouble sleeping tonight because I'm laughing so hard, I'm in tears...still laughing even as I type this question...)
Am I the only one in the world who sees the hysterically childish absurdness of the question, and the side-splitting visual effect of all the answers?
Or should the 12 people who just said "green" win?
pink should win....i'm cutting down on your caffeine and sugar intake.
