Easter Baskets tend to feature the same old candy or chocolate treats year after year. How about mixing things up, with a themed basket that’s in tune with the interests of the recipient? If you, sorry, I mean, the Easter bunny is puzzled on what goodies to fill an escape room fan’s Easter basket with, then we’ve cracked the code below!
A New Friend To Hug
Would it really be Easter without an adorable plushie peeking out the top of that Easter basket? Even though this list is aimed at kids, we think anyone, no matter their age, would be thrilled to receive a new soft and squishy pal!
Paddy Padlock Plush
Paddy the Padlock is looking for love, and has her arms outstretched ready for hugs a-plenty. Throw her on your favorite chair, alongside the pillows on your bed, or with the rest of your plushie collection. Wherever you decide to put her, she’ll be waiting there patiently for when you next need a snuggle!
Who Would Like This?
We are confident that anyone will be charmed by Paddy’s friendly face. For an added little extra for any Paddy fan, why not pick up a matching keychain?

Paddy is available from The Escape Effect online store or at our Orlando location.
