Easter in a box for the grown-up folk is focused on goodies that would inspire some brunching, with a chocolate bunny thrown in there for refueling purposes. Hiding eggs is hard work.

sources: preserved boxwood wreath, wooden forks, floral tray from IKEA, polka dot plates from Target (no longer available, similar ones found here), egg crate, cardboard treat box (similar ones found here), juicer from Anthropologie (no longer available), whisk, Weck jar

Come back tomorrow for the kid’s version!

    i guess i’ve been inspired by your “in a box” gifts, because the other day i was thinking of doing a mother’s day brunch in a box. the only thing i could come up with was a new table cloth. help! — and maybe do a blog post about it? :)

    I want to be the recipient of one of these boxes! Guess I’ll have to settle for making some of my own to give away, which is probably even more fun…

    Love that floral tray! I was surprised it’s Ikea…seems to ‘old fashioned.’
