         7 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the first shell portion includes a first interior surface;   the second shell portion includes a second interior surface; and   the first interior surface is substantially continuous with the second interior surface when the first shell portion is selectively coupled to the second shell portion.   
     
     
         8 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the first shell portion defines a first rim;   the second shell portion defines a second rim;   the first rim and the second rim are complementarily configured; and   the first rim and the second rim abut together when the first shell portion is selectively coupled to the second shell portion.   
     
     
         9 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 8 , wherein:
 the first shell portion includes a first coupler extending from the first rim and proximate the first exterior surface and distal the first interior surface, the first coupler defining an interior thread;   the second shell portion includes a second coupler extending from the second rim proximate the second interior surface and distal the second exterior surface, the second coupler defining an exterior thread; and   the interior thread is complementarily configured with the exterior thread.   
     
     
         10 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 1 , wherein the novelty Easter egg container defines an ovoid when the first shell portion is selectively coupled to the second shell portion. 
     
     
         11 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the first shell portion defines a first rim;   the second shell portion defines a second rim;   the first rim and the second rim are complementarily configured; and   the first rim and the second rim abut together when the first shell portion is selectively coupled to the second shell portion.   
     
     
         12 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 11 , wherein:
 the first shell portion includes a first coupler extending from the first rim and defining an interior thread;   the second shell portion includes a second coupler extending from the second rim and defining an exterior thread; and   the interior thread is complementarily configured with the exterior thread.   
     
     
         13 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 12 , wherein rotating the first shell portion relative to the second shell portion about a longitudinal axis of the ovoid selectively engages the exterior thread with the interior thread. 
     
     
         14 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 11 , wherein the second shell portion defines a base configured to support the first shell portion. 
     
     
         15 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 14 , wherein:
 the first shell portion defines a first longitudinal end distal the first rim;   the second shell portion defines a second longitudinal end distal the second rim and opposite the first longitudinal end when the first shell portion is selectively coupled to the second shell portion;   the first longitudinal end is curved; and   the second longitudinal end defines a flat portion surrounded by a curved portion.   
     
     
         16 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 15 , wherein the novelty Easter egg container is configured to rest on a level surface in an upright configuration with the first shell portion disposed above the second shell portion when the first shell portion is selectively coupled to the second shell portion and the second longitudinal end abuts the level surface. 
     
     
         17 . The novelty Easter egg container of  claim 1 , wherein the novelty Easter egg container defines an interior void when the first shell portion is selectively coupled to the second shell portion.
