- Bringing homemade Easter treats to work is a festive, fairly economical way to celebrate the holiday. Consider hot cross buns studded with dried currants and marked with icing, cupcakes with buttercream frosting in bright colors reminiscent of dyed Easter eggs or sugar cookies cut into the shape of eggs or rabbits and decorated with icing and small candies. For choices that require less decorating, opt for lemon tartlets or individual honey cakes. Wrap each treat with colored cellophane and tie in place with ribbon.
- The basket is the trademark of the Easter Bunny and a perennial Easter favorite. While kids are usually on the receiving end of an Easter basket from their parents or the Easter Bunny, receiving a gift basket at the workplace in the name of Easter can be a delight for adults.
Line small baskets with plastic grass, or use shredded newspaper for a greener alternative. Then fill the baskets with different kinds of chocolate, candy and even a marshmallow Peep or two. Or for a healthier alternative, try fruit or teas. - For more practical or decorative items that people can use for a long time to come, consider giving things that are reminiscent of spring, good weather and renewal. Pick items like a checked picnic cloth with a set of wine glasses, a decorative flowerpot along with a packet of flower or herb seeds, a hummingbird feeder and a nice flower vase.
- For a gift that all adults will appreciate, consider gift cards. Even amounts as small as $5 will be a welcome treat. You can get the same type of wide-appealing gift card for everyone, like a gift card to a bookstore or coffee chain, or you can individualize the cards according to the needs and interests of the card recipients. Perhaps one for a sports store for a golf lover, one for a pet store for a pet person or one for a children's clothing store for an employee or coworker with little ones at home.
