Easter is right around the corner, and if you’re thinking of hosting an epic Easter egg hunt at home, then you’ve come to the right place. We have the best guide to make it a hit. You could be doing it for your friends, the kids, or even just for yourself (because why not)? And the best part is that you don’t have to spend a fortune. Check out the bargains on OneDayOnly to get everything you need without breaking the bank.

Step 1: Get Your Easter Essentials - for Cheap!

Times can be tough, but your Easter egg hunt doesn’t have to be. OneDayOnly always delivers deals, so keep an eye out for all necessities, from Easter eggs to decorations, easter baskets, plastic eggs, and some adult treats. Why pay full price when you can get a nice bargain discount?

Step 2: Select the Ultimate Hiding Spots

An Easter egg hunt isn’t just about hiding Easter eggs around the garden and crossing your fingers to find them. No, this is an art; you need to plan strategically.

Here are a few ideas:

• For the little ones: Keep it simple. Hide under the bushes, behind pot plants, or in the toy box. Don’t make it hard for them, or you'll find yourself fighting with 3-year-olds on some “I can’t find any eggs” which will be a problem.
• For the older kids and adults: Now, make them work for it! Use your imagination, hide eggs in tree branches, in between decorations, and inside the braai. Get creative.
• Pro tip: Include golden eggs with special prizes, maybe a gift voucher from OneDayOnly, a slab of chocolate, small toys, gadgets, or even cash prizes. Make it egg-citing.

Step 3: Make It a Whole Vibe

Easter egg hunts are not just about the eggs, it's a complete experience. Now, here’s how to take it to the next level:

• Dress the Part: Get everyone easter bunny ears, even the dog - and the cat. No excuses.
• Music and Vibes: Play some good music to set the mood. Maybe some good old local jams? Whatever gets people moving, whether it is Amapiano or some 90s classics. Oh, and get yourself one of our Bluetooth speakers at an affordable price.
• Games and Prizes: After the hunt, host a little competition with awards for best dressed, fastest finder, and most eggs collected. Give out OneDayOnly goodies as rewards, because we all love freebies.

Step 4: Snacks Are a Must

Make sure there's food. What is an event without food? You can’t have people running around looking for easter eggs with empty stomachs. Consider your snack table as part of the experience - bright, fun, and filled with snacks that everyone will love.

A mix of sweet and savoury treats ensures that there is something for everyone; they can indulge in easter chocolates and grab a quick snack between the hunt.  

Here are a few ideas to keep both kids and adults happy:

• For the kids: Fresh juice, hot cross buns (real Easter MVP), and bunny-shaped sarmies.
• For the adults: Let’s be real; something with a little more kick wouldn’t cause any harm. Serve that with some chips and dip, if you're keeping it simple, or a charcuterie board.
• For everyone: Everyone gets a chocolate! Just lots and lots of chocolate.

Step 5: Capture the Memories

You can't go through all that effort and not capture those special moments. Assign a photographer or set up a DIY photo booth. Bonus points if you grab some props from OneDayOnly to make it extra festive. Make a short Instagram reel if you feel fancy, and don’t forget to hashtag #OneDayOnly because, well, you gotta flex.

Step 6: The Grand Finale - A Little Something Extra

Easter Sunday without a little reflection wouldn't be complete. While the kids are stuffing their faces with chocolate, pause a little and appreciate the meaning of Easter. Whether you choose to spend time with loved ones or spoil yourself, Easter is a time of new life and hope.

Hopping Off with a Bang

Hosting the perfect Easter egg hunt shouldn't be difficult. You can pull off something epic without going over budget - with a little planning, some creativity, and the right deals from OneDayOnly. So, put on those Easter bunny ears, stock up on chocolate, and let the hunting begin!
