It almost seems unbelievable, but Easter is already just around the corner this coming weekend. This year, we are not allowed to gather with family over a brunch, barbecue, or dinner. What should you do then? Fortunately, there are still plenty of other ways to enjoy the holidays. GENTS therefore gives you 3 examples today of how you too can happily celebrate Easter during corona times!

Normally, holidays are all about family. Due to the current circumstances with COVID-19, that is not an option – at least not as we would usually do. By making some adjustments, you can still celebrate Easter pleasantly with friends and family – at a proper distance. GENTS has gathered the best ideas and chosen the top 3 for this blog. So grab a pen and paper or take screenshots to remember how you too can still have a nice Easter day during corona times without any trouble.

#1 Enjoy dining together online

In recent weeks, we have all made a video call to colleagues, friends, or family members. Such a call can be done in various ways. Do you have a good camera on your laptop or an excellent webcam? Then you can also dine together from a distance! Suppose you have to stay at home and cannot be with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Then plan a pleasant online dinner. You should agree beforehand on what you will eat so that you both prepare the same meal and eat it at the same time.

Also, be at your Easter best. For the men among us, that usually means a neat outfit. For example, a pastel-coloured shirt and stylish trousers. If you do not have a suitable outfit or want something new, quickly order a new shirt complete with a colourful jacket if you do not have one at home. GENTS now has great offers especially for this! Then turn on the camera on your laptop, connect, and it is time to enjoy dinner together – from a distance!

Tip from GENTS: dining online like this is easiest with a small group due to the way various video call platforms work.

#2 Play new games

During the holidays, we are also inclined to play games together. In these corona times, playing a board game together is not possible, but fortunately, there are still plenty of other games you can play. For example, do you have young nephews and nieces? Ask them via the app what they are currently playing. Maybe you can join them – from a distance. Also, mobile games like WordFeud are very popular among adults and especially the older ones among us.

Tip from GENTS: make such a game extra special by creating an Easter edition yourself. For example, you may only place words related to Easter.

#3 Spread Easter cheer

Finally, you can spread the cheer in many ways. For example, do you have an elderly grandmother who is sitting all alone? Then make a nice Easter package for her! Buy, for example, a magazine, a puzzle, and some tasty snacks. To finish it off, add a personal card with a message. Now you can give it! Instead of handing it over, of course, ring the doorbell and place it on the ground just like all delivery services do. Do you have a good friend who is feeling a bit down? Then deliver a small gift, such as a bunch of flowers. There are plenty of ways to make things pleasant for yourself and others.

Do you have any good tips to make Easter more cheerful during corona times? Share them immediately with people around you! During this period, we will come out even stronger together. So send that message or make that spontaneous call: something so small can already make a difference during Easter in corona times.
