Antique White Cast Iron Crosses for Easter from TheShoppingZone.comThere are many people who celebrate Easter as a religious holiday. They are not concerned with the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs, but something more quiet and reverent. If you are one of those people, or you know someone who is, then this Set of 2 Antiqued White Cast Iron Crosses will be perfect for celebrating.  It’s hard to tell that these are new, as they are made to look old. Each measures 8″ tall and is solid cast iron.

This beautiful set of Cast Iron Crosses from Gift Shopping Zone is sure to be treasured for ages. Sold as a set of 2, there are holes for mounting the crosses on the wall, if desired.

The intricate pattern and antique finish make for a sophisticated look. Easter gift baskets are thoughtful gifts, of course, but how many gift baskets can your friends use? These Cast Iron Crosses are sure to last long after the candy and chocolates are gone, too.

Easter Teacup Trio

Blooming Sunshine Trio of teacups & plants for EasterThis delightful Easter gift from Jackson & Perkins is called the Blooming Sunshine Trio, and it contains the best of spring-blooming bulbs in sunny colors for your home or office. It was so incredibly popular that it sold out and is no longer available.

But it is still a great Easter gift idea to create your own coffee klatsch. It wouldn’t be too difficult to find three cheery yellow-and-white mugs (or whatever Spring color combination you want) to make a gift along this same theme. Just get three coordinating mugs and plant each with a cluster of spring-blooming bulbs. The set from Jackson & Perkins contained crocus, yellow daffodil, and snowy-white hyacinth, but you can choose whatever combination you think would look attractive in the mug grouping you choose. Bulbs will bloom in succession over 3 to 4 weeks, but simple little green plants would also be attractive and stay nice through the entire summer and fall. If you select long-lived outdoor plants, they can be repotted outside and the mugs can be used for coffee, tea, soup or even hot chocolate!

Yum! This is a gift that can keep on giving.

Easter Plant & Teapot Set

Easter Teapot Set & plant from Jackson & PerkinsI personally like gifts that keep on giving. That is, they are able to be used year-round after whatever holiday has passed. This Songbird Daisy Teapot with Cups from Jackson & Perkins is just that kind of gift. Send this gift of tea for two, and she’ll find that it’s perfect for sharing a relaxing afternoon with a friend. Because it’s from Jackson & Perkins, it arrives with cheerful dark-eyed gerbera daises in an artfully handpainted teapot and teacups, inspired by love of nature and fresh spring colors.

This pattern is exclusive to Jackson & Perkins and their Garden Fresh Express® Service ships these flowering gifts via 2-3 Day Delivery directly from their grower, so each one arrives absolutely fresh and perfect in every way. And you pay only the standard shipping and handling charge. The ceramic teapot and cups are NOT dishwasher safe and the entire gift is available at a 42% discount off individual prices, just in time for Easter giving. 

But if the price is still a little too steep for you, why not purchase an attractive and inexpensive teapot and cups and put a plant in yourself for gifting? Jackson & Perkins has great ideas, but even those on a tight budget can find a way to make their own similar gift.
