Hare's(here's) hopping (hoping) you'll have a wonderful Purim. Somebunny (somebody) loves you!
Carrot cake muffins, lunch size bags of baby carrots, etc.

This is just a joke:
Esther/Easter
There is an indirect historical connection, btw: Mordechai came up with a pseudonym for Hadassah that would conceal her identity. (It would be pretty silly if she had a Hebrew name, that would make her Jewish nationality pretty obvious.) The one he came up with was Esther which, to outsiders, sounds like Ishtar (Venus- goddess of love & fertility), yet to Hebrew speakers sounds like Hester (hidden). Clever, huh? When the church came up with their holiday and called it Easter, it incorporated themes from pagan spring-time/fertility holidays that were celebrated for Venus at the same time of year. Rabbits and eggs represented fertility and renewal in the spring.

If you want to get a little deeper I you could write a poem about carrots (the party?) and sticks (all that happened after).

Just saw inexpensive fizz rabbit-shaped lollipops in my local grocery, made by Paskesz.

Years ago my DH did a whole Purim thing in shul with eggs (not MM)
We had a toy chicken that made clucked really loud. He took it as a noisemaker for the megillah and wrote all kinds of funny things on hard boiled eggs and distributed to all the guys in shul. Some things he wrote were:
Esther eggs
Haman HaEggagi (and drew a nasty face)
What a funny Purim yolk!!!
