If You Want To Smell Like Easter, Peeps Body Spray Is Now A Real Thing
These days companies are doing whatever they can to “expand their brand” but nobody saw this one coming. If you want to smell like Easter, Peeps Body Spray is now a real thing. Not sure we asked for it or even need it, but it’s here.
Gone are the days of getting little Easter baskets that mom put together in her assistance to the beloved Easter Bunny. Now as a parent you’re going to need a bigger basket because the kiddos expect to be wowed.
It’s not enough that you have filled it various chocolate eggs and whatever assortment of candies the little dears like best, you have to give them much more stuff.
When I was kid, I was happy to get an Easter basket that had a decent sized chocolate bunny a bunch of eggs (chocolate of course) and plastic eggs with coins and maybe a dollar or two. Now you have to stuff a much bigger basket with everything from plush animals to video games.
Now there’s Peeps Easter Body Spray
Easter is still over two weeks out. But you don’t have to wait that long to SMELL like Easter. (???)
Peeps Body Spray is now a thing that exists. Bottles of it have been spotted on shelves at the discount chain Five Below for $5 apiece. People are already reselling them for more than that on eBay and Poshmark.
They’ve got it in two different colors, pink and yellow. The yellow is “marshmallow scented,” and the pink is “strawberry creme.” (The yellow one has a yellow Peep on the label, but the liquid is blue. So that’s confusing.)
It might be meant for kids, but don’t let that stop you. We also saw a video of Peep-scented body wash. So if you REALLY want to drown yourself in it, buy that too.
In related news: The National Confectioners Association says our obsession with candy is at an all-time high. Their annual “State of Treating” report just landed yesterday and found we spent $48 BILLION on candy last year.
Some of that has to do with inflation, but it’s still the most ever.

Easter Fun For Grown-Ups: Adult Basket Ideas
Self-Care
Self-care never goes out of style. Take your adult Easter basket to the next level with aromatherapy candles or essential oils. You can even take a bath time approach with items like bath bombs, body wash, bath salt, and lotion. Skincare items can also work for your basket with items like face masks, serums, and oils. Something different to gift could be a journal or notebook for writing or drawing. Even nail polish or make-up can work in this case.

Food
Of course, Easter baskets are always full of treats. You can go the traditional route with Cadbury Creme Eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies or specialty items like beef jerky or limited-edition chips. Just gather up some of the giftee’s favorite foods or even sauces or spices to add to their basket. Things like bubblegum, mints, popcorn, or mixed nuts can work for your basket too.

Phone Accessories
Phone accessories are great for the TikTok King or Queen in your life. If your special person receiving the gift is into getting the perfect lighting in their photos or giving their followers a play-play on their day-to-day this is an option for your basket. Think, of selfie clips that attach to a phone, mini ring lights, and mini tripods for maximum stability. If you want something that quick and simple there are always pop sockets and phone cases. Just make sure you know what kind of phone the person have before purchasing.

Cups, Tumblers, And Mugs
Tumblers, cups, and coffee mugs are a safe bet for your adult Easter basket. It’s something cute and simple you can add to your gift. I’m not saying break the bank for a Stanley Tumbler. Unless you’re cool with dropping $45 for the cup allegedly causing fights in stores.

Jewelry
Jewelry can really make a person’s personality pop. Luckily, there are plenty of options to choose from to add to your basket, from rose gold earrings to glitzy rings. You can also get creative with your jewelry find and hunt down Easter-themed jewelry. For example, bunny earrings, or maybe even an egg necklace.

Comfy And Plush Items
If you’re creating a basket for a person who enjoys lazy days and overall comfort, items like socks, slippers, robes, throw blankets, and pajamas are perfect. These kinds of items are great for people who love an excuse to stay inside and cozy up. It will have them saying things like “Sorry, can’t go out today, I have to test out my new slippers.” And they’re small enough to fit in your DIY basket.

Books
If your giftee is a bookworm, then you can’t go wrong with a book. If you can’t make up your mind on what kind of book. Maybe go for a book card from their favorite bookstore instead. You can even go the extra mile with your gift and create a personalized message in the book after you buy it. Some bookstores like Barnes & Noble offer this kind of service. Another fun idea would be to gift an affirmation book.
