    That is AWESOMEly geeky. I’ve been trying to find a way to keep my earbuds from getting all tangled up when I travel and putting those little buggers in an easter egg (we’ve got BUNCHES of them) sounds like a PERFECT idea.

    Thanks!

    I just saw a cute idea. Put a snack in them and keep them in your diaper bag. I also made a large box of “snack eggs” and the kids get to pick 2 and they have to eat whatever they get.. no winning about what they want. They think it’s fun because it’s a surprise. I love that it’s quickly at hand when they have the munchies.
