    Spread some easter cheer with these free You’ve Been Egged printable signs, which includes fun and easy Easter gift and basket ideas.

    You've Been Egged printables

    Bring joy and holiday cheer to the neighborhood, family, and friends with this gift basket idea, and include these free printables! What better way to surprise someone during Easter time than by “egging” them with a basket full of goodies and these fun printables?

    What is it?

    It is a fun tradition that is similar to the “You’ve Been Booed” for Halloween and the “You’ve Been Elfed” tradition for Christmas. This trend has taken over the holidays in recent years because it’s a fun and unique way to spread some joy and laughter amongst your community.

    This “egging” gift idea differs slightly from the other versions, which require you to hide 12 treat-filled plastic eggs in an unsuspecting neighbor’s yard, basically like a mini easter egg hunt.

    How Do You Participate?

    In this version, the concept is simple – secretly deliver (by ringing the doorbell and leaving before they open the door) Easter-themed goodies to your family, friends, or neighbor’s doorstep, along with a note explaining the tradition (which is included with the printables). The recipient will be should then do the same for two other households. If you have been egged, you should also use the door hanger included here so that others will know you’ve already been egged.

    This “You’ve Been Egged” gift idea is a fun way to brighten someone’s day during the Easter season. It doesn’t have to cost a lot, either. I spend less than ten dollars on my basket by using Dollar Tree items such as small treats, party favors, decorations, small trinkets, etc. It is a great activity for the whole family, including young children. Your kids can even help pick out the gifts!

    How to Print

    • Load the cardstock or printer paper into your printer’s paper tray.
    • Set the paper format to cardstock on your printer's settings. The location of this setting will vary depending on your printer.
    • Open the printables with Adobe Acrobat or another PDF reader software.

    How to Assembly the Gift Basket with the Printables

    • Use a paper trimmer or scissors to trim off the excess paper from the printables.
    • Glue the mini flag on top of a wooden dowel.
    • Hole punch your gift tag and attach it to the gift using some baker’s twine, yarn, or ribbon.
    • Glue or tape your party favor labels to the tops of your party favors. If they aren’t the proper size for your bags, you can always resize them in your photo viewer program or trim the sides down as necessary.
    • Add floral foam or filler to the bottom of your bucket, if necessary.
    • Add one bag of grass on top of your foam (or as much as needed).
    • To make your bucket start by placing the taller and bigger items in the back of your basket. This includes your door hanger, mini flag, easter picks (if using), and instructions printables.
    • Work your way toward the front of the basket by layering medium-sized items in front of your bigger items, adding more easter grass between the items.
    • If you need to create some added height to make certain items seen more prominently,  you can add a small amount of shredded paper to that spot to raise it above the other items.
    • Finally, add your smallest items to the front of the bucket, such as plastic eggs and your small sign.

    All of the items for my Easter basket came from Dollar Tree. I spend a total of $10 on all of it. You can also find affordable items at Target’s Dollar Spot section or even Walmart’s Easter section.
