The picture was when I first set it up and now they're roots have completely taken over the little bottles. Th at window gets sun all day and they cast light all through the room through the bottles." — Dee Danford Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 17. And a "Leafriend" plant propogation buddy that gently hugs the stem of your littlest plant babies so they can grow big and strong in the spring sunshine. Amazon, Promising review: "These are the cutest little leaf support guys. There is a ridge at the seat that helps the little guy stay seated on the glass. The arms are flexible to help place stems for holding. I have noticed the root growth has improved because the stems aren't floating around in water and possibly drying out when it would float up to top. These are much cuter in person than they look online." — NancyW Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.99. 18. A daisy-shaped dish brush with a lil' vase holder so cute that, fair warning, you can't use it without accidentally bursting into an iconic Disney princess song. (Dibs on all of Tangled.)

One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use, but it's still cute, and I could've been more careful holding it. Not a super stiff brush, but works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well and food doesn't get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." — Hannah Jo Wilson Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 19. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions.

I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" — Abbey Klem Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes). 20.

A daisy-shaped egg separator so the next time you're getting your protein in, you'll have some legit "flower power" on your side. Promising review: "I use this when I'm making hollandaise sauce. It makes a tedious task more fun — who wouldn't get a smile when looking at a cute little daisy? It's much more interesting than a boring normal egg separator! I love this company's products — they bring fun into mundane tasks like cooking, cleaning, and more!" — Shelly Smithson Get it from Amazon for $12.90. 24. A set of dainty temporary floral tattoos that are pretty much the fastest, most cost effective way to become a living fairy this spring. Promising review:"They are quite dainty with light colors and fine lines. I found them to be quite long lasting if I am careful when showering to avoid scrubbing. I have had people congratulate me on my new tattoos and they are surprised to find they are fake." — Kindle Customer Get a pack of 10 sheets from Amazon for $6.98 (available in five varieties). 25. An bunny egg mold because, respectfully, life is short, and we have no business ignoring opportunities to make it as adorable as possible. Reviewers mention this also works well for rice!

I have a young daughter who is beginning to feel the peer pressures of growing up and is concerned about fitting in. I remember what that time period felt like for me, and I would never, ever go back! This picture is a bright, cheerful, and a fun reminder that being yourself is more fun and easy than being 'normal.'" — Kelly Wojcik

Here are the winners of the 2025 Pioneer Press Peeps Diorama Contest
Sofia Serdiouk, age 11, of Woodbury, wanted to participate in the 2025 Pioneer Press Peeps Diorama Contest, but she faced a quandary. She used items around the house to create her 'Peeps creamery' diorama, with some duct tape assistance from her brother, but she needed to go to the store to buy some Peeps. However, her mom was too busy to take her shopping, according to Sofia. Sofia's dad took her to Menards, which is apparently a challenging place to locate Peeps. Somehow, under a tight deadline, Sofia persevered, and turned in an ice-cream themed diorama (with Peeps!) that won an honorable mention in our annual contest, which fielded more than 100 entries this year. We love that marshmallow-fueled spirit, of Peeple coming together, of making it work, of creativity, that is the essence of this tradition that dates to 2004. Thank you, Peeps. And congrats to the top winners, who will receive gift cards ranging from $100 to $50. For all of our other Peeps, please print out a Certificate of ParticiPEEPtion and feel proud! 'My mom and I have had the idea to show the progression of a Peep tanning for many years,' Shannon explained in this dynamic duo's entry. 'As a mother-daughter team, we have had a lot of experiences at the beach together, and had our fair share of sunburns. This made us wonder: How would a marshmallow fare in the summer heat?' It wasn't beach season when this team started making their diorama, though. 'Most of our sand in the backyard was frozen and covered in layers of snow,' Shannon wrote. 'We tried dirt, but it didn't quite look right. It was my mom, Kristin, who came up with the idea to use brown sugar! It was the perfect substitute, and you can hardly tell it isn't sand. 'I created the foaming waves using a bottle of window cleaner, and sprayed it onto the construction paper and fake sand. The foamy soap in the cleaner perfectly replicated crashing waves. The only hard part was taking photos quick enough before the bubbles started disappearing!' But that wasn't the best part. 'The most fun part of the project was getting to do it with my mom!' Shannon wrote. 'We both contributed ideas the other wouldn't think of, and working together was a great way to spend my winter break while home from college!' That's the part we love most about this contest: it provides an opportunity for people to bond over dioramas — including our top prize winners. It was a tie for second place in a competition between staying close to home and heading out for a road trip. We loved how Heidi Hansen of St. Paul created Peeps traveling to different places in 'National Parks Peep's Road Trip Vacation.' Hansen displayed a selection of Polaroid-like images showing scenes from parks, from a Peep taking a selfie with a buffalo in the Badlands to another watching whales in Glacier Bay to two Peeps stargazing from a tent at Voyageurs. We asked Hansen how she made this mini masterpiece. 'I made small shadow boxes to look like Polaroid pics out of foam board and painted all the backgrounds on poster board and mounted them on a piece of black foam board,' she replied. While Hansen's Peeps travel far and wide, the Peeps of our other second-place winners prefer traveling just around the block for a cup of coffee — with a side of cat. 'This diorama is based off of Catzen Coffee which opened up on 1/1/25 at 1416 Grand Avenue and has been drawing in people from all over the metro,' the Grand & Pascal Neighbors wrote in their entry. 'All of us who worked on this diorama live and/or work just a block away and love the new neighborhood establishment to the Avenue.' A dog among them, though, felt differently. 'The evening before we were scheduled to photograph the diorama,' the neighbors wrote, 'our dog climbed up onto a chair at the table and ate five of the bunnies lined up along the 'sidewalk' in front of the cafe. An emergency run to the store to get more happened later that night but the only color available was pink, so we're a little pink bunny heavier than initially planned.' Still looks delicious to us! As far as reality television goes, nothing was closer to home than the eighth season of 'Love is Blind,' which is set in Minneapolis. It provided the theme for Susie Emmert's diorama. ''Love is Blind' is the only reality show I watch, so when it was filmed in Minneapolis, I was beyond excited for it,' she wrote in her entry. 'When it occurred to me I had the doll house furniture in storage, and had been saving the perfect purple box for no specific reason (because you can't throw away a good box), I knew I had a 'Love is Blind' pod ready to be built!' If you don't know, the Netflix show's concept involves getting to know someone while communicating from separate pods. The diorama also has details that match the show's, including the golden goblets that are a sipping signature. It was a love match — and a 3D printer– that helped make those happen. 'My husband and kids have been making a lot of random things on the 3D printer, so he made the miniature gold cups like they use on the show,' Emmert explains. 'fter multiple tries, we now have a set of gold cups just like the show, but for Peeps! They are painted with tempera gold paint. He also used the 3D printer to make the big blue screen they face in the show, the panels to make the shape of the room, and the top border from the bird's-eye view of the pods, and finally, the tiny engagement ring box being used for the proposal.' Honorable mentions: 'Dye-O-Rama' by Kira Hartke of Minneapolis. This Peep Dye-O-Rama was inspired by Peeps being on the list of foods that currently have red dye 3 in their ingredients list. '2025 Peeps Easter Egg Hunt' by Laura Bathke. After Bathke was diagnosed with cancer a day before retiring, she opted to enter our contest while her travel plans were put on hold. 'Peeper Nooo' (a reference to 'The White Lotus') by sibling duo Taylor Hillestad and Garrett Hillestad of St. Paul. 'Take a Peep at What We Found!' by Judy Smith and Melanie Hendrickson of St. Paul (inspired by our Treasure Hunt and featuring this year's medallion!). This year, we created a new category for past top winners: MasterPeeps! Cynthia Kleist's dioramas have topped our contests through the years, including a pandemic-themed one, 'The Do's and Mostly Don'ts of Zoom Meetings,' that took first place in 2021. This year, Kleist was inspired by an iconic board game. 'There's been a murder and no one is saying a peep, so we don't have a clue!' Kleist wrote. In addition to the murder scene, there's a close-up of the suspects (with one of them holding a Pioneer Press!). 'If you look closely at the diorama you will be able to figure out the weapon and who did it!' Kleist wrote. 'Good luck!' 'Minnepeepolis Sculpture Garden' by the Schomburg family. Artists: Murray, Bev, Brian, Aaron, Heidi, Scott, Greg, Moira, Grayden (16), Evelyn (13), Harrison (12) and Helena (8) Schomburg. ''Sweet' Deals on TESLAR Cybertrucks!' by Jill Schaefer of Minnetonka. 'Peep What You Sow Community Garden' by Katherine Rose of St. Paul. We loved this diorama of Peeps admiring art at a museum that is a play on the Minneapolis Institute of Art. 'Esmé's diorama features Peeps viewing renowned works of art at the M.I.A. — the Marshmallow Institute of Art,' writes Esmé's mom, Mykala Micek. 'The museum's holdings include paintings of the 'Mona Peep-sa,' 'The Scream,' 'American Gothic,' as well as a rare 15th-century Italian marble Peep statue. 'Inspired by her visits to the Minneapolis Institute of Art (and a budding interest in art history), Esmé wanted to create a Peep-sized version of a museum for her marshmallow friends to enjoy, as well,' Micek wrote. 'Her favorite part was re-creating the famous paintings with Peeps, and she was so excited to show us the finished pieces.' The judges were charmed by the musical performance of the Peeps in Trinity Huntzicker's diorama, and we also admired her perseverance. This is the third year Trinity has entered this contest. Back in 2023, Trinity created a 'Peeps Patrol' scene using the 'Paw Patrol' toys she got for Christmas. She took that theme outside in 2024, using both Peeps and 'Paw Patrol' elements. This year, Trinity is back indoors and inspired by something new — and something old — in her diorama, which features Peeps playing musical instruments in a vintage setting. 'The doll house belonged to Trinity's mother,' the entry submission said. 'Trinity loves music.' Bravo, Trinity! We've got another family connection this year! In addition to the mother-daughter team who took first place, Conrad is the stepson of Susie Emmert, our third-place winner. 'My stepmom came to me and told me about the competition, and I had recently been watching 'Severance,'' Conrad wrote. (The Apple TV+ series is a sci-fi take on the work-life balance.) 'When I couldn't think of an idea, I decided to just do 'Severance,' so first I went online and got a 3D model of a Peep, and I removed the ears and part of the head in a CAD program,' Conrad wrote. 'For Christmas, my family got a 3D printer, so I used it to first print the Peep, then the desk, monitor, keyboard and other items. Then, I painted them all with acrylic paints. Finally, I cut the marshmallow Peep off so it was shorter to fit the desk.' As for the judges and our impression of Conrad's work, we quote Mark Scout from Season 1, Episode 4: 'The work is mysterious and important.' Honorable mentions (youth categories): 'Camping' by Tony Aung, age 8, of Maplewood. 'The Peeps Creamery' by Sofia Serdiouk, age 11, of Woodbury. 'Peep Simpsons' by Michael Mewis, age 11, of Glenwood City, Wis. 'It's The Great Peep-kin, Charlie Brown!' by the White Bear Lake-based Tocko clan: Chloe Tocko, age 17; Noelle Tocko, age 14; and Wyatt Tocko, age 9. Supervised by Mom (Amanda), Dad (Kevin), Aunt Dawn and Uncle Dan. In our second annual employee version of the Peeps contest, we had four strong contenders: The Peeps were playing in a 'basement jam sesh' by Mars King; the Peeps went sledding in Imani Cruzen's diorama; the Peeps attended the 2024 Met Gala in Talia McWright's diorama and Frederick Melo wrangled up some kids to recreate a Taylor Swift concert. At press time, with employee votes still incoming, the lead candidate was Molly Guthrey's diorama, which recreated our real-life, in-person voting process that involves coffee and Post-it notes. Over the years, as Molly notes, we have judged more than 4,000 dioramas!

Candy projected to be at the center of this year's Easter spending despite rising prices
Candy projected to be at the center of this year's Easter spending despite rising prices Majority of Americans who celebrate the holiday, approximately 92%, do so with the assistance of candy, a National Confectioners Association report says. Show Caption Hide Caption Easter egg ideas that aren't candy Create an easter egg hunt without the sugar crash. Inflation, tariffs and a volatile stock market may be causing the average American consumer anxiety daily, but they still aren't stopping people from indulging in a sweet Easter this year. Even in the face of looming economic uncertainty, Easter spending is expected to go up in 2025, according to a recent National Retail Federation (NRF) report. Shoppers plan to spend a total of $23.6 billion on Easter this year, up from last year's $22.4 billion and approaching the record high of $24 billion in 2023. The biggest area of spending is not eggs, despite the volatile marketing resulting in high prices, but candy, which is projected to account for $3.3 billion in spending. It seems that while Americans may be willing to reach for cheaper alternatives to eggs for dyeing, they are not about to let a year pass without getting their hands on a Peep or Cadbury Cream Egg. Easter shoppers plan to make candy their number one purchase this year The NRF's survey found that the largest intended spending category was candy, accounting for 92% of planned purchases. The general category of "food" followed at 89%, trailed by gifts at 65%, decorations at 51% and clothing at 49%. The overwhelming majority of Americans who celebrate the holiday (92%) do so with the assistance of candy, according to another report by the National Confectioners Association (NCA). The top sweet treats bought for the holiday include chocolate eggs or bunnies, jelly beans, candy-coated eggs and marshmallow candy. Chocolate reigns supreme despite rising costs The most-loved and most-purchased category of candy around Easter is chocolate. According to the NCA, 89% of people who make Easter baskets include chocolate and candy, with the most popular items of all being chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs. These themed chocolate treats account for 29% of Easter Basket items, with 90 million chocolate bunnies being sold per year, according to an April WalletHub report. Other favorites include jelly beans (25%) and Peeps (14%), according to WalletHub. The NCA also settled a time-honored debate in their survey, reporting that 77% of Americans prefer to eat their chocolate bunny's ears first, while only 16% go feet-first and a lonely 6% start at the tail. Don't expect stocking up on chocolate to be cheap this year, however. On top of prices that are anticipated to rise due to trade tariffs, chocolate makers were already battling with rising cocoa prices. As of April 16, the price of cocoa is $8,400 per ton, up from prices that hovered in the $2,000 range at the same time in 2023. Cocoa prices have been marching steadily upward in recent years due to droughts and dry weather, resulting in crop shortages. Cocoa requires tropical conditions to thrive, meaning the U.S. relies heavily on importing the commodity, and 70% of the world's supply is grown in West Africa. Last year alone, the Ivory Coast and Ghana produced almost 3 million tons. Changing temperatures and drier conditions have and continue to impact the prices of the raw materials central to making chocolate. And, even with Donald Trump's targeted "reciprocal" tariffs on many countries currently paused for 90 days, the blanket 10% tariff still has the potential to drive prices up even further. If the previously scheduled tariffs were to resume at the same planned rate after the pause, the biggest producers of cocoa, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia and Ecuador, would be hit with 21%, 10%, 32% and 10%, respectively. How much are Easter candy favorites this year? When it comes to beloved Easter candy, the size variety means a lot of price variety. While prices will vary from store to store, state to state and city to city, online price tags show that some affordable options are out there. At Walmart, for example, a chocolate bunny can range from as little as $1.36 to more than $12, depending on size and brand. Target offers a similar price range of $1.49 to a little over $12, while Walgreens ranges from $1.50 to just shy of $13. At Walmart, Peeps range in price from $1.47 to $13, versus $2.69 to $8.00 at Target and $1.12 to $7.50 at Walgreens, again depending on size. Jelly beans of different brands, varieties and bag sizes run from $1.64 up to $14 at Walmart, $2.99 to $13 at Target and $1.99 to $15 at Walgreens.

The arms are flexible to help place stems for holding.

2025 Easter Basket Must-Haves: PEEPS Candy Shoes, Purses and Jewelry
Hop into spring with Betsey Johnson's PEEP purses and wallets. What are America's favorite Easter candies? According to DoorDash, the most popular Easter candies are Reese's Eggs, Cadbury mini eggs and chocolate bunnies, to name a few. Yet no other sweet treat screams Easter like PEEPS candy does. Love them or loathe them, Peeps are the very adorable cockroaches of the candy world—brightly colored, impossibly squishy, and seemingly indestructible. But before these little sugar bombs became the unofficial mascot of Easter (and an inexplicable year-round treat) with loads of PEEPS fashion collaborations, they had a much humbler beginning. Back in 1910, a Russian immigrant named Sam Born founded Just Born, a candy company in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Fast-forward to 1953, and Just Born acquires Rodda Candy Company, which was making marshmallow chicks by hand. The catch? Each Peep took 27 hours to make, due to the drying time! That's longer than it takes to roast a honey ham, drive across Texas, or binge-watch all three seasons of White Lotus. Enter Bob Born—Sam's son—who mechanized the process, slashing production time down to just six minutes per Peep. Efficiency had never been so... perfectly pastel. Peeps you can eat... and wear. (Photo by Eva HAMBACH / AFP) (Photo by EVA HAMBACH/AFP via Getty ... More Images) Originally, Peeps only came in yellow chick form. And the bunnies were rolled out in the 1980s. But because Americans can't resist playing with perfection (or making things more neon), they expanded into bunnies, pumpkins, Christmas trees, and even a questionable hot tamale-flavored version. Enough to circle the earth two and a half times, two billion Peeps are manufactured annually. This year the creative iterations continue. Just Born introduced Strawberry Marshmallow Chicks dipped in milk chocolate (yes, they're wearing dessert couture). Need more snack with your snack? Grab the Rice Krispies Treats Chicks, basically two childhood icons in one. Chocolate Pudding Bunnies are also hopping in—like pudding cups, but fluffier. And there's a few new store-exclusive PEEPS flavors for 2025. Walmart gets the goods with Breyers Cookies & Cream Chicks and individually wrapped Egg Hunt Chicks for strategic egg-stashing. Dollar Tree is selling Tropical Punch Bunnies, while Kroger wins the flavor crown with Cinnamon Churro PEEPS. Pour this over a bowl of Lucky Charms for marshmallow nirvana. There's even Peeps marshmallow flavored milk! Look for the PEEPS x Promised Land Dairy brand at select grocery stores. Sweet tooth: activated. And if you ever doubted their star power, just know there's annual Peeps diorama contests held at many locations across the country where people create intricate scenes—like Peeps reenacting Game of Thrones. So, whether you eat them, explode them in the microwave (highly recommended), or hoard them for scientific experiments to test their shelf life—rumor has it they never actually go bad, Peeps are here to stay. Need more proof of Peeps' power? Browse the Easter holiday aisles at your local Wal-Mart. It's an absolute peeptastic wonderland of Peeps-themed merch. In addition, PEEPS has hopped into some delightful collaborations, blending their iconic marshmallow charm with other beloved brands. Here's a peep at these fun partnerships: 'Brunchin' with PEEPS®' pop-up from March 26, 2025 through Easter Sunday at the Serendipity3 Upper ... More East Side location in New York. (Diane Bondareff/AP Content Services for PEEPS®) Experience a marshmallow-filled brunch at New York City's Serendipity3. From now through Easter Sunday, indulge in over-the-top PEEPS®-themed décor and fun menu creations such as PEEPS® Belgian Waffles, a Cotton Candy Frrrozen Hot Chocolate and a PEEPS® Dirt Sundae. New ALEX AND ANI x PEEPS® jewelry collection includes earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, perfect ... More for easter basket gifts. Accessorize your love for PEEPS with ALEX AND ANI's jewelry collection. Featuring playful designs inspired by the iconic bunny and chick marshmallow treats, these pieces add a fun pop of springtime flair to any wardrobe. Dash x Peeps Waffle Maker Bring a fun twist to Easter brunch with PEEPS-themed kitchen gadgets from DASH®. Create four-inch waffles shaped like PEEPS Chicks and Bunnies or cook eggs with special character omelet trays, making Easter mornings even sweeter. Fashion icon Betsey Johnson teams up with PEEPS for a limited-edition capsule collection. Featuring six unique designs adorned with rhinestones and dazzling details, these accessories—from purses to wallets— showcase the iconic PEEPS Bunny and Chick, adding a playful surprise to your Easter ensemble. My personal favorite is the wallet that looks like a hot pink box of bunny Peeps. The Easter Bunny now delivers treats to your four-legged family member, too. Pets can join in on the Easter fun with Milk-Bone PEEPS Marshmallow Flavored Dog Treats. These limited-edition treats come in festive spring colors and shapes, including the classic bone and the PEEPS Bunny and Chick. While feeding your dog marshmallows sounds like a terrible idea for their tummy; rest assured, these are only marshmallow flavored. Polly Pocket PEEPS toy Fans of playful collectibles will love this collaboration! Each micro compact opens to reveal a bunny-themed world, complete with cute accessories that capture the magic of Easter. This PEEPS Polly Pocket is a perfect candy-free option for Easter baskets. Need inspiration for older kids? Check out these Easter Basket gift ideas for teens. Peeps Bunny Sandals by Katy Perry. The pop star's line of shoes always double down on fun. But this may be her most playful shoes yet. Katy Perry's PEEPS Bunny Slide is a marshmallow-meets-fashion moment, featuring bunnies with sweet pastel flair—ideal for hopping into any sunny outing. (The brand site is currently sold out of the bunny slides, but there are plenty on Ebay.) Then there's the PEEPS Bunny Geli (in photo above), a sandal with playful '90s energy and topped with the classic pink, blue or yellow bunny and a scented footbed—yes, you read that right. Randy's Donuts in Los Angeles features Peeps donut for Easter. Also, around the country keep your eyes peeled for Peep-themed seasonal food and drinks, mostly at bars and bakeries—such as the PEEP donuts at Los Angeles-based Randy's donuts. And if you haven't tried a cocktail with PEEPS-infused vodka, what are you waiting for? Search the hashtag #peeptini for inspiration.
