Festival gift perhaps wrapped around daisy, say (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

easter egg

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'festival gift' is the definition.
'easter egg' can be an answer for 'gift' (I have seen 'Seasonal gift ' mean 'easter egg' so perhaps 'gift' could also mean 'easter egg'). I'm not sure about the 'festival' bit.

'perhaps wrapped around daisy say' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' becomes 'eg' (for example).
'wrapped around' indicates putting letters inside.
'daisy' becomes 'aster' (I've seen this before).
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'aster'+'eg'='astereg'
'eg' going around 'astereg' is 'EASTER-EGG'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for easter egg that I've seen before include "festive gift" , "Candy to celebrate Spring festival" , "Sweet for Spring festival" , "DVD bonus" , "Seasonal confection" .)
