My grandma would put together epic Easter egg hunts. She would always instruct us that the Easter bunny his them and he was a cunning little guy who could find the very best hiding places.

As far as good luck, grandma always carried a rabbits foot around in her pocket. A real rabbit's foot. A real rabbit's foot that was fresh, not on a key chain. I know, shocking. It was a different time. She always would say sh carried it for good luck.
