Happy Easter Store {Review & Giveaway}

Happy Easter Store{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Diabetic Snacker Giveaways!}

At some point I turned around and the first three months of 2011 were gone.

On the one hand, it makes me wonder where the time went and wistfully think of all (if any) of the things that we accomplished so far this year. But, on the other hand, it also means that spring is finally drawing near and, along with it, Easter.

Every family has their own Easter traditions and things that they do to celebrate, but personally, the holiday isn't complete if my kids haven't scavenged for eggs and candy and I don't send Easter chocolate. It just wouldn't be the same without fun and yummy gifts!

And this year there is no better place to look than the experts at Happy Easter Store, where you'll find everything from baskets to bunnies to bring a smile to your family and friends.

Easter giftsWhether you know exactly what you're looking for or are searching for some inspiration for what to purchase for those on your list, Happy Easter Store has hundreds of fun and fresh ideas waiting for you. From classic springtime presents to mouth-watering treats of all kinds to unique and personalized Easter gifts, there's something for every age and interest.

And when it comes to what we're interested in around here, all eyes turn towards anything chocolate. So when the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Collection arrived, there was no doubt that it was going to be a hit.

Easter chocolateThe description of this amazing gift had told me that the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Collection contained two pounds of certified Kosher dairy chocolate in the form of 36 assorted chocolates, 12 pieces of English toffee, and 12 pieces of milk chocolate pecan and caramel clusters... but I was still somehow unprepared for just how much chocolate that would be.

Just opening both boxes made my mouth begin to water...

But then I realized there were actually layers of chocolates in both boxes, which meant that even after all of the delicious treats on top where gone, there were plenty more still remaining.

With two layers in the smaller box and three layers in the larger box, I would have been much more overwhelmed had Happy Easter Store not included a great fold-out guide to help me keep the creams separate from the caramels and the milk from the dark chocolates. I always love when chocolates come with this helpful addition!

There isn't any question that these chocolates were completely delicious. We sampled some here and then my husband took the rest with him to work (so as I wouldn't devour them in one day) and said that there were many, many compliments from his coworkers about how much they enjoyed this pre-Easter treat.

Retailing for $49.99, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Collection was a big winner with all of its gourmet chocolate and rich, luscious flavors. But if chocolates aren't your thing (what? Are you feeling okay?) Happy Easter Store has plenty of other categories to choose from.

From cute stuffed bunnies to beautiful flower arrangements to decor for your home to Easter baskets and gifts of all kinds, you'll find it all in one place and able to be ordered quickly and easily. With such high quality and large variety available in one place, you're sure to appreciate the affordable prices and convenience that Happy Easter Store can provide for you this year.

Plus, thanks to their generosity, one person will have a head start on being the best Easter Bunny around, because...

One lucky person will win a $50 gift card to Happy Easter Store!
