One of the many things I enjoy about Easter is filling baskets. When my boys were very young, I ordered their baskets from Pottery Barn and we've used them every year since. I love to arrange some of their favorite treats, along with gift cards, video games, and always a toothbrush and books! As they've grown, we've moved on to things like shirts,hats, and more teen oriented items, but I still have little nephews so I get to buy some really cute things! Regardless of what they are into,I always enjoy the ribbon,wrapping and making them look beautiful.Today I am sharing some items that make great basket fillers.
This is one of our favorite stories. PJ Funnybunny has too many siblings and is convinced he would be better off living with a different family. In the end ,he realizes he is exactly where he was meant to be.
This one has a lot of repetition ,which makes it fun for the kids to read along. Love this book!
Activity books are always fun for kids.I am sending
this one to a few of my nephews this year.Filled with puzzles,stickers and coloring activities makes it a fun addition to a basket.
Bubbles...naturally. Kids love bubbles. I picked these up ,though I don't remember where. May have been Target or Bjs. They have Peeps on them making them perfect for Easter!
These are the bunnies my boys will be receiving this year. Godiva is currently having a sale with free shipping ,so it was an easy choice,plus their chocolate is delicious! They are now buy 1,get one at 50% off.
If you have any swimmers in your family, these
goggles are a great gift idea. We have numerous pairs and the boys love them.
The gift of music is always a great idea.
This cd is perfect for a Disney fan, but Amazon has a tremendous amount of choices for all age groups. Perfect basket filler!
Another fun idea is a new video game. Games for the Switch system will fit into any basket. One of my boys requested
this one this year.
There are so many fun things you can incorporate into your baskets. Here are some tried and true goodies.
Jump ropes never go out of style.
Nail polish or this cute
manicure set for the young ladies in your life.
Puzzles are always a good choice. So many to choose from in all sizes and themes.
Mad Libs have always been a favorite here. They are a fun way to work on different parts of language with your children.
This Easter pad is the perfect choice.
They even have a
junior version filled with activities.
Another idea for the little ladies in your life are some hair bows and
this cute one has Peeps all over it! So fun! I found this on Etsy, which happens to have such a wonderful selection of unique gifts not only for Easter, but for any occasion.
I really love this next idea. If your child is the creative type and loves to play in the kitchen, this may be a great idea for you. Pick up a couple of chocolate molds,featuring their favorite characters, and some melting chocolate for their basket. This is an activity you can work on together making delicious chocolates and precious memories!If you have a candy supply store nearby,you can pick some up,or visit Amazon.
The two I've featured are
Princess Sofia and
Peppa Pig.. I like to use
this melting chocolate. Here is the link for the lollipop
sticks.
I also love the idea of
popsicle molds. With the warm weather approaching, these are always a sweet, fun project for the kids.
There are so many fun ideas for baskets. Crayons,paints,play-doh, mini cars, stickers,dolls etc., all make great gifts for the kids. Think about your children's favorite characters,interests, shops and clothing and you will be able to create the basket of their dreams! Remember, it doesn't all have to be candy!
Have a sweet day!
