Before you firm up those Easter gift-giving plans, let me remind you that we're about a week out from the annual admonitions against giving kids bunnies and chicks as Easter presents. I can see the bunnies, but I'm not sure who's giving the chicks, or why they don't understand that these will someday grow up to be chickens, which are far less friendly and fuzzy.
Instead of giving something that will run up a recurring food bill and make a mess of the house, give a nice Easter Basket. They're traditional, they've got loads of tasty candy in them, and some of them even come with plush animals that won't shed or leave things that need cleaning up behind.
And if you order one from our Easter Gifts page between now and the Friday before Easter, you'll be able to get ground shipping for just $5--less than you'd pay for a 25-pound bag of Purina Rabbit Chow. Probably less than you'd pay to feed that chick for a month, not that I know what they eat since Purina doesn't have Chicken Chow, but you know they'll be eating a lot more of it soon when they're not pecking holes in the legs of your chairs.
So, to recap your gift options:
Bunny: Quiet, but sheddy and expensive
Chick: Crows at dawn (if male), leaves eggs around house (if female), pecks when irritated
Basket: Silent, no hidden costs, less risk of household damage (beware of melted chocolate on rug)
I'd say the Easter Basket wins.
