It’s that time of year when things like umbrellas, wide-brimmed hats, sunscreen and flip-flops come in handy. Make sure your loved ones are ready to face Mother Nature and her fickle moods.

Kids love catching bugs, especially butterflies. And spring is the perfect time for them to do it. You can find inexpensive bug catchers or butterfly nets at just about retailer or toy store, along with an insect house, magnifying glass and bug book to spark their interest.
There’s no better way to brighten someone’s day than with a colorful orchid in full bloom. You can choose from a wide assortment colors, from speckled pinks to deep purples. You can also pick the size that best fits your loved one’s decor (and your budget.)

Best of all, they’re easy to care for and will stay in bloom for several months with proper care. Easter will be here before you know it, but with a little planning now, you can put together some truly memorable surprises (and avoid the last-minute rush down the candy aisle.) You can even buy an orchid online now and schedule your delivery date. Happy Easter!
