None.
Even though the majority of the population in South Africa are Christian and Easter Weekend is in fact a long weekend with both Good Friday and the Monday after Easter Sunday being public holidays, neither the giving of Easter baskets nor Easter egg hunts are traditional here.
Also, the wife and I are trying to eat less chocolate, so we didn't buy any.

Vrystaat!!!!!
Another Saffer! 
I've lost track of how many Easter eggs I've had this year. My hubby buys boxes of Beacon chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs. The boxes start appearing in the supermarkets in January! So I can honestly say I've lost count and I've had enough of them now.
'Til next year.
(Maar, jissie, die goed is lekker!)

We've been very well-behaved this year. I suppose it's a very good thing we don't get Cadbury Creme Eggs over here. I still remember the one year Checkers stocked them...
Come to think of it, I haven't seen those Creme eggs anywhere. I wonder if Cadbury stopped making them. *sigh* They were delicious.
If you'd said something sooner, we could have put together a care package!
All my eggs were the cadbury kind. The caramel ones.
Well, except for the dozen we dyed.

Now that tax season has passed,
If you suddenly received a windfall of cash, what would you do with it?
Can be as small or as large a windfall as you like, depending on what you want to do.
Paying off my student loans would be first among many things for me.

Take the wife on a grand European tour. And buy myself a Hemingwrite and a writing cottage like Neil Gaiman's.
Pay off debt, as well. Give a bunch of presents, good ones, to people who have helped me when I really needed it. Buy a house in a few months, and a good car. And plane tickets. Lots of those.
You haven't heard of it? I thought this was a writer's forum

Hmm, Super-Dooper Reply
I don't have any Easter eggs, and if I received a windfall of cash, I'd pay off debt (boring and popular response), travel, and write about it all in a fictional way.

So back in the 1970s there was this brief fad of building spray-concrete houses -- you'd build a bunch of connected dome-like frames and then spray colored concrete all over it so you'd end up with these sort of lumpy, cave-like houses.
If I had a ridiculous sum of money, I'd buy a couple hundred acres of forest, dig a big hole in the middle of it, use the spray-concrete tech to make a cave system, and then rebury all but the entrance. And then let my kids find it on their own.
Uh, although I'd probably sneak out and paint elk and bison and martians and shit on the walls inside too.
I've seen those.
I'm not old enough to remember the 70s firsthand (um, mostly), but I've seen those.

Mainly blog articles about cloud conditions, cliff heights, and suicide.
Oh HEMINGwrite! I thought you said LEMMINGwrite! My bad!
