Spring is here, Easter is around the corner and we’re stopping to smell the flowers… ranunculus to be exact! From The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch we share Easter Basket ideas for every little bunny.
BUNNIES AND BLOSSOMS
Bunnies and Blossoms… both are synonymous with Spring! We found the most dreamy spot in the state at The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch where for more than 60 years the hills of North County San Diego host the most spectacular display of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world! 55 acres of ranunculus, estimated 80 million blossoms each Spring… still time to make the trip to come see them as we are in peak time with the season lasting through May 11. Whether you are road-tripping with the family, planning a girl’s day out, or looking to slow down and enjoy the spring season, this is a perfect spot to add to your list.
The spring magic doesn’t end there, the perfect addition to any Easter basket are plush bunnies from GUND! One of our favorites is the Animated Flora, the sweet singing bunny that comes to life with the push of a button, featuring two play modes. Press Flora’s left foot to engage her in a game of peek-a-boo, where Flora hides behind her soft, oversized ears. Press her right foot to sing along to a playful new song in a cute child’s voice while her ears flap to the rhythm. Looking for a take-along bunny Peek a Boo Flora is adorable as you simply press her soft tummy with a gentle squeeze – her long ears flop down and cover her eyes to hide in a battery-free game of peek-a-boo that you customize.
Our kids get a kick out of Cheeky Chonks, they will become your new best BUTTy. Cheeky Chonks are soft, super-cute 2-in-1 plushies that flip from one delightful design into another, showing off their squishy-soft butts in every form. A convenient size makes these plushies the perfect addition to any collection, bedroom, desk, locker, and anywhere else you might need a cheeky grin. They’re also travel sized for the backpack or car ride, and they even act as fun sensory toys and fidget toys, too!
