Easter is one of the seasons where beautiful, handmade gifts abound and are just as gratefully received as the commercial varieties. If you've looked recently on Pinterest you would have found endless boards filled with cute and creative gift ideas.
But there are not quite as many Easter gifts, manufactured or handmade, that highlight the real Easter message.
Meaningful Easter Gifts
My daughter-in-law noted this fact recently and asked if I could find details of the M&Ms gift idea with message that I'd given to kidmin families one year. She was looking for a meaningful gift for their playgroup mothers. I could find it, of course, but it was a Christmas gift with message. See here..

The Easter Message in Jellybeans
But there is a poem, (and you can find various versions on the internet) that tells the Easter story with jelly beans so I suggested it to Jess. She was more than happy to use this idea so I created a little candy-bag topper that can easily be printed off.

If you'd like to create them yourself, download the pdf below and print onto heavy weight paper.(100-120gsm) Cut out the topper allowing extra as a fold-over piece for each. (I think they wind up being 14cm x 10.5cm.) Add the jellybean colours as indicated by the poem into the cellophane candybags, Fold the topper over the top of the bag and secure with staple at the top. I added a small bow to hide the staple but it's just an option.
Easter M&Ms poem
Oh.. I did locate an Easter M&Ms gospel poem, after I'd finished the Jellybeans design and if you're looking for it, you'll find it here by Bethany Tapp: The Sweet Truth of Easter
