The Easter Bunny will be rounding up spring and Easter goodies from a few small businesses in Downtown. Let's see where that silly rabbit has gone to so far! 

The Easter season explodes with many amazing flowers! Traditionally, flowers for Easter are lilies, tulips, roses and daisies. Mix it up at Save the Date Flower and Wedding Studio, 157 K Street. 

How about this "Bowl of Joy" from Studio Design Floral & Co? They accept orders through social media, messaging, their website or by phone, 307-264-3238.

Do you know a young artist who likes to draw? Go to Escape Day Spa and Boutique, 430 Broadway Street, for a graphite drawing package before they're gone! 

Hop on down to Mack and Co Boutique, 623 Pilot Butte Avenue, for handmade items including home decor, jewelry, refinished furniture, bath and body products, men's grooming accessories, candles, drink mixers, and more!

Easter makes spring the second-biggest season of the year for sending greeting cards. A card from Bi-Rite/Sweet Sage/Remedies Grill can bring hope and encouragement in tough times, no matter the religious views. 

Books do more than teach new words to young readers. Physical books, especially at Sidekicks Book and Wine Bar, 507 Broadway Street, are still relevant. 

Looking for more "basket stuffers?" Visit Toy Town in Downtown! The shelves are crammed with all sorts of toys for all ages.
