Easter is right around the corner, which means that it is time to make a friend, family member or significant other the perfect basket for the holiday. Whether you are looking for something a little more crafty or a little cheaper, here are some fun additions to make an Easter basket special.
Jellycat
Jellycats have taken the world by storm. The stuffed animal brand includes loads of different animals, fruits, vegetables, pastries and more to choose from.
If you are looking for a strictly Easter vibe, there are many different bunnies to sneak into the basket. Its “Amuseables Sunflower” would be the perfect gift that your loved one would never have to water. If you’re going for a monochrome look and your best friend loves the color pink, try adding their “Amuseables Mia Macaron.”
Clay Magnets
Clay magnets are the perfect opportunity to get crafty.
A five pound bucket of air-dry clay can be bought for around $10. That is more than enough to make magnets for every basket. A 200-piece magnet set can be bought for less than $10 on Amazon. All you need to do now is build whatever your heart desires, connect it to the magnet and paint. Take your finished products, place them in a plastic easter egg and now you have the perfect basket stuffer. Some ideas for clay magnets include: a martini glass, vinyl record, cherries, fish, an eight ball or dinosaurs.
Book
For all of your bookish friends, a new read would be the perfect addition to an Easter basket. Whether it is the book highest on their TBR, a book you have been wanting them to read or something perfect for summer time, it adds a unique twist that lasts longer than a cadbury egg.
Bath Bomb
Bath bombs are a timeless gift, well at least until they fizzle out in the tub.
It is the perfect stuffer for all ages. The company LUSH has very unique bath bombs, including “Wicked” and “Minecraft Movie” inspired ones. If you’re not looking for something that expensive, CVS and Walgreens have more affordable options.
DIY Coupons
DIY Coupons are the perfect gift for any holiday. It is a quick, easily craftable slip of paper that can contain anything you want. A free ice cream date, massage or lunch without actually having to go to the store to buy a gift certificate.
Bottle of Wine
No one is too old for an Easter basket, so spice up a 21+ basket by adding a bottle of wine for your favorite friend. A Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc or Moscato can easily blend in with all the other goodies you choose for your loved one. If they are underaged, try a sparkling cider.
Traditional Easter Basket Goodies
If you are not feeling festive this year, but still want to put a basket together, it is stil acceptable to get the traditional items. Peeps, chocolate bunnies and the plastic eggs to stuff with Reece’s can be found at almost any convenience store, the prices plummeting after Sunday.
