The 16th Annual Easter Egg Hunt ended on Sunday, April 5th. Congratulations to all the hunters that were on the leaderboard at the end of the contest! It took a lot of determination, and your Gift Certificates are well-deserved :) The Gift Certificates were sent to your e-mail addresses today, so keep an eye on your e-mail for the details.
A special congratulations is in order for M Rowe, who was our randomly-selected Grand Prize winner from the Top 25 on the leaderboard! Your gift certificate is being sent via e-mail. Other hunters may recognize this name as a perennial hunter near the top of the leaderboard... all that hunting experience (and a little luck) paid off this year!
It takes a lot of work to put this hunt together, but it pales in comparison to the hours put in by all the hunters to find all those eggs. Thank you for making the hunt a big success again. Whether you found one egg or made it to the Top 25, we hope it brought you a little joy last week! If you ever have any feedback to share (good or bad), we'd love to hear it :)

Find the Easter Eggs we've hidden all over our web site. Get lots of great prizes, including Gift Certificates and a $250 Grand Prize, and tons of supplies!
Find just a few eggs, and you win! Choose from tons of prizes based on the number of eggs you've found. The more you find, the more prizes you can choose!
Where are all the eggs? Read below for information about where the eggs are hiding:
We've scattered the eggs in all corners of our website, with some exceptions. You won't need to hunt on pages under the following menu sections: "Supplies", "Artists & Brands", "Deals", "Latest", or the "Create & Learn" menu. When you use the main menu to look under those 5 sections, there is a friendly reminder in the menu drop-down that there aren't any eggs there. Everywhere else is fair game, and you need to be logged into your account to see all the eggs. For more specifics on where the eggs can be, see the FAQ below.
How hard is the hunt?
Even if you're just a casual egg hunter, finding 50 shouldn't be much of a problem. In fact, you can find a couple dozen eggs by visiting the links available in the main menu.
If you're going for the top prize levels, you'll have to be prepared to dig a little deeper to find the eggs. You don't need to drive yourself insane (see below), but your family might wonder where you disappeared to.
Once you've found 100 eggs, it's all about your competitive spirit. If you want to stay on the leaderboard, or if you have your eye on some great prizes, you'll need to scour thousands of pages on the site! Warning, craziness may ensue :)

The 16th Annual Easter Egg Hunt is ON! Get your egg-hunting gear ready, and start the madness 😜... This year, we'll be posting updates here a couple times a day with announcements, tips, and plenty of encouragement. Good luck!
April 1, 9:58am EDT
Day 2 of the hunt is here! No foolin’... there have been tens of thousands of eggs found already, and things are just getting started! If you’re just finding your first few, there’s still plenty of time left to make your mark (and snag some great prizes, too).
April 2, 10:57am EDT
At the start of Day 3, we can report that all but one of those pesky 300 eggs has been found by at least one hunter. Will the last one be found? Time will tell… Happy hunting, everyone 🥚🤩
April 3, 8:27am EDT
We are past the halfway point of the hunt… is anyone dreaming of eggs yet? 🤣 We can confirm that all 300 eggs have been found by at least one or more of our dedicated hunters. As we go into the weekend, here are a couple reminders: One, the hunt ends at the end of Easter Sunday (11:59pm Pacific time). Two, any orders with prizes must be placed by that time. Three (and most importantly), have fun finding those remaining eggs!
April 6, 12:33pm EDT
Well that's a wrap, folks! Thanks again for hunting along with us this year. We had a mammoth weekend of hunting, and a ton of prize orders placed. We’re working hard to get those in the mail ASAP. Congratulations to those that ended on the leaderboard... and whether you found 2 or 200 eggs, THANK YOU to everyone that participated this year! 😁

No. We didn't hide any eggs in areas that require an additional click/tap/swipe to reveal the egg. Once a page with an egg is loaded, you should be able to scroll down and find the egg—no additional actions necessary. Just scroll, find, and repeat :)
No, you do not need to access "View All" links to find eggs. It is possible that you might find an egg on a "page 2" of a category listing (or page 3, etc). But you don't need to click on any "view all" links.
No, that will not help you find additional eggs. You will never have to re-sort products on a page to find eggs. That would just be too cruel :)
Yes, if you're trying to find all the eggs, you'll need to use the filter options in the light green filter bar on category listing pages. Using one (or a combination) of filter options will take you to new pages, which may lead to eggs. This includes filters with the word "all" in the name. If you're trying to find all 300 (yikes!), you'll need to look at all filter combinations.
Yes, there may be eggs on "page 2" or "page 3", etc. (Remember, though, you never have to use "View All").
This year, there is a limit of one egg per page. In the past, we had a couple sneaky pages where you could find 2 eggs. But that's not the case this year.
Our website is pretty big, and there is sometimes more than one way to get to the same product or page. For example, some focal links are listed under the Charms & Pendants menu, but also in the Findings area. Technically, each egg is only in one place, but you can find some of them in multiple ways.
You can think of a page on the website as anything you can get to by clicking a link or a picture. Here are a few examples of different pages that you can find eggs on:
Yes, there are areas of our website where you won't find any eggs. You don't need to look at pages under the following menu sections: Supplies, Artists & Brands, Deals, Latest, or Create & Learn.
Yes, make sure you are signed into your account when hunting. We need to you sign in so we can keep track of the number of eggs you've found.
The contest ends at 11:59pm US Pacific time on April 5, 2026 (Easter). This means you need to make sure and do the following by this time:
Collect all the eggs you can find.
From the Prizes page, add the prize(s) you want to your shopping bag and place your order—all prizes must be redeemed by the end of the contest. These gifts are available while supplies last, so we don't recommend waiting until the end of the hunt to redeem them. Normal shipping rates will apply when placing an order that includes a gift.
Watch this page for an announcement about the grand prize gift certificate drawing on Monday, April 6.
There are a total of 300 Easter eggs that we've hidden for you to collect. Those are the only ones that count toward the prizes, and you must click on them to collect them. You might see some picture of eggs in promotional materials (like the ones in the grass at the top of this page)... those don't count toward your total.
We can't offer rain checks on the prizes, so make sure to place your order when you've unlocked the prizes, because they're only available while supplies last!
We think we have enough free beads to go around... but in case we run short, we reserve the right to substitute a product of equal value as your prize (hey, it's free, right?) :). We also reserve the right to update this list of rules if it needs clarification later.
Normal shipping rates apply. As much as we'd like to, we just can't afford to give away free beads AND ship them for free, too. If you add your prizes to an order over $50, you'll get the same free shipping you always get (in the U.S.). For international orders, or if your U.S. order is under $50, normal shipping rates will apply.
Please don't share the locations of the eggs. This ruins the fun for everyone :) Also, you must find the eggs yourself, without the use of robots or other computer-aided tools to help locate the eggs. We monitor where and when all eggs are found, and suspicious activity will be recorded. Location sharers and robots will be disqualified from winning prizes! Gotta keep it fair for the rest of us!
The most important rule: have fun!
