Reese’s Drops New Unwrapped Peanut Butter Mini Eggs
It’s not quite Easter yet, but Reese’s is gearing up for the holiday with a new edition of their popular Peanut Butter Eggs. “The new product, called Reese’s Peanut Butter Mini Cups Unwrapped, will be sold in 8-ounce bags and will be, as their name indicates, unwrapped for easy and convenient snacking,” stated the Hershey Company.
The company is no stranger to limited-time seasonal candies. They’ve created Peanut Butter Roses for Valentine’s Day, Peanut Butter Pumpkins for Halloween, and tree-shaped peanut butter treats for the winter holiday season. (Unfortunately for the brand, a consumer claimed she was deceived because the wrapper showed the Peanut Butter pumpkins with a nose and mouth like a Jack-o-lantern. However, the actual candy does not have a nose and mouth. The lawsuit has yet to be settled. It also extended to other Reese’s products with a picture on the front that doesn’t precisely match the candy inside.)
Reese’s Summer Olympic Medal Treats
Reese’s is dropping a summer shape that’s shaped like an Olympic medal to honor the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Instagram’s Snackolator posted photos of the packaging with the message that the new shape is coming soon.
“The only medals that I’m training for this summer are new Reese’s Medals that are coming out for the Paris 2024 Olympics!” the voice behind Snacklator wrote on the post. They added, “I love watching them and will chow down some Reese’s Medals when the USA wins with pride and delight.”
The outside of the packaging shown on the Instagram photo shows lines carved into the candy, so it better resembles an Olympic medal than if the chocolate coating was all smooth.
One person jokingly wrote, “Someone’s going to bite into this and file a lawsuit because it’s not an actual ‘medal,'” Another person shared that they saw them at their local Walmart.
Easter Fun For Grown-Ups: Adult Basket Ideas
Self-Care
Self-care never goes out of style. Take your adult Easter basket to the next level with aromatherapy candles or essential oils. You can even take a bath time approach with items like bath bombs, body wash, bath salt, and lotion. Skincare items can also work for your basket with items like face masks, serums, and oils. Something different to gift could be a journal or notebook for writing or drawing. Even nail polish or make-up can work in this case.

Food
Of course, Easter baskets are always full of treats. You can go the traditional route with Cadbury Creme Eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies or specialty items like beef jerky or limited-edition chips. Just gather up some of the giftee’s favorite foods or even sauces or spices to add to their basket. Things like bubblegum, mints, popcorn, or mixed nuts can work for your basket too.

Phone Accessories
Phone accessories are great for the TikTok King or Queen in your life. If your special person receiving the gift is into getting the perfect lighting in their photos or giving their followers a play-play on their day-to-day this is an option for your basket. Think, of selfie clips that attach to a phone, mini ring lights, and mini tripods for maximum stability. If you want something that quick and simple there are always pop sockets and phone cases. Just make sure you know what kind of phone the person have before purchasing.

Cups, Tumblers, And Mugs
Tumblers, cups, and coffee mugs are a safe bet for your adult Easter basket. It’s something cute and simple you can add to your gift. I’m not saying break the bank for a Stanley Tumbler. Unless you’re cool with dropping $45 for the cup allegedly causing fights in stores.

Jewelry
Jewelry can really make a person’s personality pop. Luckily, there are plenty of options to choose from to add to your basket, from rose gold earrings to glitzy rings. You can also get creative with your jewelry find and hunt down Easter-themed jewelry. For example, bunny earrings, or maybe even an egg necklace.

Comfy And Plush Items
If you’re creating a basket for a person who enjoys lazy days and overall comfort, items like socks, slippers, robes, throw blankets, and pajamas are perfect. These kinds of items are great for people who love an excuse to stay inside and cozy up. It will have them saying things like “Sorry, can’t go out today, I have to test out my new slippers.” And they’re small enough to fit in your DIY basket.

Books
If your giftee is a bookworm, then you can’t go wrong with a book. If you can’t make up your mind on what kind of book. Maybe go for a book card from their favorite bookstore instead. You can even go the extra mile with your gift and create a personalized message in the book after you buy it. Some bookstores like Barnes & Noble offer this kind of service. Another fun idea would be to gift an affirmation book.
