Easter collecting can cover all the same categories as the other holidays. Ornaments, cards, toys, tableware, as well rabbit items, eggs and baskets.
Faberge Eggs
The history is fascinating, the eggs are exquisite and to collect the reproductions is only for the those with deep pockets. But there is something about a Fabergé egg that even if you can't own one, you can still enjoy looking at the pictures and, if you're lucky, can view at a museum.
Today there are several ways to own an egg associated with the name of Faberge. There are authorized reproductions of the Imperial eggs, eggs created by the descendants of Carl Faberge and eggs made by the company authorized to use the name Faberge. Confusing? Yes, but like all collecting, always do your research before purchasing!
Pysanky Eggs

Decorating eggs, goes back to the ancient Ukrainians where the art of melted wax and dyes created the first beautiful and intricate Ukraine eggs, also known as Pysanky (from the word to write).

Glass Egg Ornaments

Can't afford a Faberge, not crafty enough to create a Pysanky egg, then how about a glass egg ornament? The perfect egg shape has been used for years for other holidays' ornaments, but of course, Easter is the perfect fit.
Easter Cookie Jars

There are collectibles to help decorate your house for every holiday and season. Springtime decorative collectibles can bring a breath of fresh air to the house, especially after a long cold winter. One way to decorate your kitchen or tabletop is with a cookie jar or two.
Here are some Easter and spring themed jars from over the years, along with information on when they were first issued and suggested prices.
