Baby Showers
Regardless of being a girl or boy Faberge style eggs are created in an array of colors to easily match the decor of a baby's room.

Weddings
Although the eggs come in bright vivid colors and different sizes specialty eggs are created for special themes. For example; wedding style eggs are available with figurines as center pieces. These eggs are usually bigger and are called goose or ostrich eggs. Due to the wedding theme the tones are in soft creams, whites and golds and are offered with Caucasian or African American figurines. To complete the entire look stands and carriages can accompany an egg.
Easter
Follow suit with Czar Alexander III and give a Faberge style egg for an Easter gift. Although it may not be an authentic Gustav Faberge piece; it holds a wonderful story behind the creation of the eggs.
