Years ago, when I worked in a toy shop as a buyer/helper of parents trying to find the perfect last-minute gifts for their littles, one of my fave times of the year was Easter. As a kid, I absolutely LOVED waking up on Easter Sunday to find a colorful basket filled with chocolate, jelly beans and the most random (but fun!) toys. Helping parents create sweet bunny-filled masterpieces of their own for their kids was ~almost~ as exciting as actually receiving a basket. (Okay, I love chocolate a little too much for that to be completely true.)
But yeah, long story short, I know a thing or two about helping people build amazing Easter baskets. And because Easter always sneaks up on the world every spring, I’ve found the best Easter basket fillers (and baskets) on Amazon for you to order and receive in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Here’s how to create the perfect Easter basket!
Choose a cute basket
Fill it with a fun foundation
When I was a kid, the only Easter basket foundation filler available was the shiny, plastic, not-very-eco-friendly grass that ended up everywhere. Nowadays, there are tons of paper grass options and other creative ways to fill the base of your basket. Anyone else as surprised (and intrigued) by the existence of edible Easter grass candy as I am?
Add chocolate (it’s basically required)
Sweeten it further with candy!
Boost it with bunnies
Hatch a plan to add some chickies
Egg-cellent extras
Get creative
Add some random activities, too
Include a little fashion
The write way to celebrate
Add your finishing touches
Now that you’re totally versed on how to create the best Easter basket ever, don’t forget to plan some other activities for that Sunday. Host an Easter brunch or Easter egg hunt with one of Evite’s Easter invitations! (BTW, in case you’re wondering, my personal favorite is this one.)
