Best Easter Gifts for Boys

So, what do boys want for Easter that OpticsPlanet sells? You’d be surprised. This year, science and outdoors activities are becoming increasingly popular. A lot of kids are asking for microscopes, telescopes, binoculars and digital cameras.

The best Easter gift that OpticsPlanet has for the budding geologist is the Meade 28 Piece Children’s Microscope Kit. It’s a great and inexpensive way to encourage your child’s interest in science without having to invest too much money.

As far as a telescope for the budding astronomer, your best bet is the Bushnell 3” Reflector. It’s the best entry level telescope and is available in a variety of kits to help an interested child get started with stargazing.

For the budding bird watcher, I recommend the Tasco 8x21 Specialty Binoculars. They’re inexpensive and they're a very boyish blue color. The ultimate boy gift. Perfect for bird watching and adventures with friends.

For the next Pulitzer Prize winning photographer in your brood, I recommend the Nikon Compact Cool Pix L15 8MP Digital Camera. Our special set comes with a Pelican hard case that will help your son to take good care of the camera as well as a Gorillapod Tripod that can be put almost anywhere. Best of all, he or she can put cool hunting camouflage decals on the camera that are included in the package. It's also inexpensive so you don't have to get too angry if he loses or breaks it.

Meeting the Easter Bunny

I had to drive four hours to the middle of no where to meet the Easter Bunny in his burrow. I was shocked at how nice his burrow was. I was expecting a dirt hole in the ground, but it was practically a McMansion. More Hobbiton than dirt hole.

We had a very fruitful meeting. We laid out our plans for Easter. The Easter Bunny is so happy to finally have someone helping him out with logistics and gift selection help.

So, what exactly will I be doing for the Easter Bunny?

I'll be helping parents choose the best gifts for Easter for their kids. Such as the best products to fit into an Easter Basket, the best products to educate instead of fatten and the best products to ensure you have fantastic Easter!

I'll also be helping the Easter Bunny out with logistics the same way I helped out Santa Claus last Christmas. OpticsPlanet will become a distribution point for the Easter Bunny to ensure he gets the most baskets to the most kids on Easter Sunday.
