This too has changed with the times. Presents are now exchanged between all individuals who want to surprise others and show them appreciation. Children are not obligated to give presents at Easter. They only receive them. In general however, the customs relating to children's gifts have also changed.
Small children believe that the Easter Bunny has brought and hidden the items.
Rabbits were also connected to other Easter customs, maybe because they have their litters at the time and so appear more often in people's gardens to nibble on the fresh greens. In the 19th century, the rabbit gradually became popular as the bringer of Easter presents, and in the first half of this century he finally won out over all competitors. Some Easter egg games have been preserved at certain places in Germany and in the U.S., or they have been newly developed. And the family would eat hard-boiled eggs for weeks afterwards. As it is with Christmas there are increasing complaints that Easter is becoming too commercialized.
