Build The Perfect Easter Basket

If your little one loves story time, then you’ll definitely want to tuck a couple Easter books into their basket. Little one’s love to read with Mommy and Daddy, after all! Don’t forget to surprise them with a brand new Easter plush pal that they’ll be snuggling with and carrying around long after Easter has come and gone (Jellycat is a great place to start). There are so many baby-friendly options for Easter, and it’s so much fun to start the Easter magic early!

For kids that are a little older, Easter is all about the basket, so why not spoil them a little and make their holiday treat something so much more than a pre-made, pre-packaged affair? Build them their own Easter basket from scratch, and overstuff it with only the best candy, popular toys, Easter books, and so much more! Squishmallows, Ty, and Creativity for Kids - to name a few - all make wonderful gifts for kids on Easter!

Teens are a bit pickier than kids and toddlers, so make sure to pack their Easter basket full of goodies more suited to older tastes - tech & fashion accessories, swag for their cars, and so much more! Gifts from Vera Bradley or Lilly Pulitzer are items they’ll use again and again - either around campus or during their daily drives (if they’re old enough for that sort of thing). Younger teens will get lots of mileage out of tech accessories and other small items like wristlets and keychains. Finally...don’t forget the Easter candy - because everyone loves candy!

Of course, when it comes to building the perfect Easter basket - no matter your child’s age - you’ve got to start, well...at the basket itself! “Easter Basket” is, of course, a general term, and you can build your own arrangement inside a basket, a pail, a tote bag...whatever works for you! Add in some paper shreds for the “grass” and a splash of color, and you’re ready to fill your container of choice with candies, toys, books...and so much more that your kids will love. Easter baskets can also be used after the holidays as storage around kids’ rooms, so it helps to think ahead and pick something you or your kids will use again and again!
