7. Romantic Easter Egg Hunt

I'm posting this a few days before Easter so that all you romantics at heart will have time to prepare. Although Easter historically isn't a romantic holiday, you can make it fun for your hunny bunny!

Prepare by buying a dozen or so plastic Easter eggs, which you can find at the grocery or corner store. Fill the eggs with anything your heart desires: chocolates, love notes, little gifts, jewelry, etc. The night before Easter, or the morning of, hide the eggs in the yard, around the house, in the car or wherever you choose. You might even hide them in a nearby park and surprise your love by taking him/her there to find them.

Another idea is dying Easter eggs. It was fun when you were a kid. But, it's still fun and you can still act like a kid. Try using a white crayon to write on the egg before you dye it. Once you dye the egg, the message will appear like magic! If you forgot how to dye Easter eggs, visit this website for instruction: Dying Easter Eggs
