RE/MAX of Southern Africa has compiled a list of some of the best spots to hide Easter eggs in each room of your home.

Here’s a list of rooms where you can hide Easter eggs:

Bedrooms

To make sure the Easter Bunny has enough time to pop by the children’s rooms unnoticed, pre-decide where you’ll hide the eggs and quickly slip into their rooms while they’re preoccupied with something else, like eating breakfast in the kitchen perhaps.

Here are a few creative hiding spots you can try:

• Inside a pair of knee-high boots
• Inside a coat pocket (wear the coat for added difficulty)
• Disguised as a toy in a toy basket
• Inside a lampshade
• Behind the blinds/curtains
• Inside a pair of socks
• Tucked into a pillowcase or duvet cover
• Hidden inside a stuffed toy
• Tucked under a blanket

• Hiding in a pot plant
• Inside a tissue box

• Underneath the couch
• Inside the TV cabinet/ desk draw
• Behind a book on the bookshelf

Kitchen/ dining room

The kitchen and dining room offer plenty of top-notch hiding spots. You just need to be okay with the fact that these spots might lead to a bit of messy searching, so be prepared to clean up afterwards.

• Packed in a pocket of potatoes
• Tucked inside a coffee mug
• Hidden in the egg carton in the fridge
• Taped under the dining room table
• Disguised as a fruit in the fruit
• Inside an empty cereal box
• Inside the washing machine

Bathroom

To avoid germs, you should only use well-wrapped eggs if you choose to hide eggs in the bathroom. For those brave enough to try, there are some good spots to hide your Easter Eggs, including:

• Tucked inside the spare toilet roll
• Hiding inside the vanity cupboard
• Sat beside the shampoo bottles
• Hidden behind the towels

“Wherever you hide your eggs, we wish you and your family a happy and safe Easter weekend,” said Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa.
