English term or phrase: egg-stra special Easter treats
Hi all,

I'm translating a new marketing campaign for the easter season, and am stuck on the following snippets:

Hatching plans for Easter; A very generous nest egg; Egg-stra special Easter treats from ####.com

Here are my attempts:

Préparant les plans de Pâques; Quelques oeufs généreux; Des cad-oeufs exceptionnels à ####.com


Basically, I'm finding it almost impossible to translate the wordplay into french, so i'm thinking of going down the rhyming and alliteration route. Being a native english speaker though, i have no idea how my suggestions sound in french (or if they even work at all!).

Any help would be much appreciated

Merci Beaucoup

Explanation:
D'après Google, je ne suis pas le premier à avoir pensé à ce jeu de mot. ;)

"Cadeaux" n'est pas idéal. Attention à ne pas le remplacer par un mot féminin, car le jeu de mot ne serait plus possible.
