Plastic eggs and candy might be your go-to stand by, but we know a few ways you can go above and beyond this weekend for an Easter the kids will remember!
Peeps? Boring! Peep cupcakes? Well that’s a horse of a different color.
Bring your cookies to life with 3D grass and eggs.
The Easter Bunny does more than bring the treats – he is the treat!
Painting easter eggs is fun, but they’re not nearly as fun to eat as hand-painted cookies.
So many great vacation spots are out there – how to choose? For the adventurous types, make the decision easier by steering away from beach-bum vacation spots and towards spots with some real excitement. We’ve helped you narrow it down to our top 3 places where adventures happen!
New Zealand
This isn’t just a beautiful country; it is an adventurer’s dream. Though it’s small in size, it’s known for its majestic mountains and activities like trekking, climbing, white water rafting, skiing, snowboarding, heli-skiing, snowmobiling and ice climbing. And on the coast, the water-lovers will find surfing, waterskiing, sea kayaking, and sailing. New Zealand is also considered to be one of the best diving destinations in the world, with spots like The Poor Knights, Bay of Islands, Fiordland, and Stewart Island.
Australia
We couldn’t forget Australia! The varied terrain in this country makes it an adventurer’s paradise. From scuba diving off the Great Barrier Reef to white water rafting to jetskiing and everything in between, there is nothing you can’t do in the Australian waters. And if you choose to stay dry, you won’t be bored with outback biking, hiking, spelunking, and climbing at Ayers Rock and the Blue Mountain.
Brazil
Brazil is the perfect place to lose yourself in the beauty of the rainforest. You can’t miss a jungle tour of the Amazon, whether you hire a guide, venture the jungle by foot, or take a boat or canoe to the Rio Negro. In the southern mountains, you’ll find repelling, rafting, hiking, climbing, horseback riding, hang glidin, and mountain biking to God’s Finger, Bell’s Rock, or to Iguassu Falls. They also have water sports such as surfing and diving but the most popular ones there are kayaking, sailing, fishing, snorkeling, windsurfing, kite surfing, and jetskiing.
We’ll be back another day with more of our favorite adventurous travel picks. Do you have a favorite to share?
It doesn’t matter what your favorite color is – this weekend, we’re all green! And these are the treats we’re making to celebrate.
Apple pie’s not just for Thanksgiving. Add a few shamrocks for a dessert worthy of March 17th.
Doesn’t have to be green to be Irish! This cupcake comes with a rainbow, pot of gold, and clouds.
Got a taste for brownies? Just top with green whipped cream for a St. Patty’s Day treat.
All you need are a few drops of food coloring for St. Patrick’s cream puffs.
Have you noticed that the least expensive time to travel seems to also be the least convenient? This is no accident on behalf of the airlines. But it’s still possible to save on travel by planning your schedule well – you just have to know when to go!
Europe
With so many countries to visit and so many things going on, it’s hard to find the right time to go to Europe. Since there are things going on year round, the right time to travel may be based on your interest and preferences. Generally speaking, the ideal times to travel to Europe is May, June, and September when prices are reasonable, the crowd’s smaller, and the weather is just perfect. But if you’re looking for certain festivals to attend to, then plan accordingly.
Caribbean
The Caribbean is one of the most popular places to escape to get away from the winter blues. But you’ll have a hard time relaxing with the high season’s huge crowds. The low seasons are June, July, and August, due to the increase in the temperature. June may be rainy but the weather in July and August is generally sunny and nice. You can expect a dramatic decrease in price during these times and get the quiet vacation you want.
Costa Rica
The best time to travel to Costa Rica is actually during its rainy season. Due to the rain, which only occurs just a few hours daily, May through November is the country’s lowest season meaning low airfares, better hotel choices, and less of a crowd to compete with. It is also the country’s most scenic season with their thriving rainforest and blooming orchids.
For any destination you’re planning on visiting, you should always check for their high and low seasons. With the right timing, you can enjoy the perfect vacation!
Uh oh…did your friends just set up a crazy looking registry with Deposit a Gift? This isn’t quite what you expected. Where’s the china, the blender, the guest towels? Not to worry! We can explain this new-fandangled approach to registering — it’s actually quite simple and modeled upon the shopping experience that you’re used to at the department store. Only this is a new kind of registry – for weddings, babies, birthdays, fundraisers, group gifts and more – so your friends can ask for the gifts they really want instead of being limited to a particular store, and you can be sure that your gift will never be returned. It’s all about flexibility and fun, for you and them 
Why shouldn’t I just pick out my own gift?
Physical gifts may be returned, forgotten or re-gifted, but with Deposit a Gift, you can be sure that your gift is exactly what they want, and will never be returned. The memory of you helping to bring to life something they’ve been dreaming about will last a lifetime.
Ok, so how do I do it?
Start by finding your friend’s site here. Take a look around the site and read the Welcome Page and Registry Page to learn why they’ve chosen to go the route of an alternative site. Learn what it is that will truly help them to celebrate this occasion. Poke around the Registry and decide which gift strikes the right chord with you, and add it to your shopping cart – just as you would with traditional 0nline shopping.
How can I pay?

But what do I bring to the wedding/shower/party?
