How has everyone’s day gone so far? My day was particularly good today. I went to Dunkin to grab my morning cup of coffee and a chocolate glazed donut because why not? Then I went shopping for an hour or two and then hung out with a few girlfriends. And now I’m here writing this post. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve woken up with the worst headaches so I’m just thankful I got a reprieve from that today.
Anyway, as you all know, the most adorable Holiday is nearing us. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s Easter. I just cannot get enough of the Easter bunnies and how cute they are. Since my sister is still pretty young, my parents always invite her friends over for a little Easter egg hunt. Then there are some more fun activities they do like painting, drawing, and of course eating a bunch of snacks.
If you are looking for ways to put a bright smile on your kids’ faces this year, you’ve come to the right place. Kids and adults (including myself) love nothing more than a basket full of goodies. So why not curate an Easter basket for kids they will love? From mermaid theme baskets, minions, and fun pop-it Easter baskets, there is something in here for everyone.
Most of the baskets here are budget-friendly and can be found at your nearest Walmart or Dollar store. Now, let’s take a look at these awesome Easter gift baskets!

Include a few more items like cozy slippers, a custom name bracelet, a mini backpack, and delicious marshmallow peeps.
4. EASTER BASKET FOR BOYS
Curating an Easter basket isn’t that hard for toddler boys in my opinion. They are usually obsessing over toy cars and toys in general. So include a couple of toy cars/trucks, a frisbee, some sweets like M&M’s and marshmallow peeps, and more toys. Here is the full tutorial.
5. CASH EASTER BASKET
If someone gave me this Easter basket, I would love them forever, haha! But seriously, this basket is great for both kids and adults. Buy plastic eggs and place dollar bills inside and also attach some on the outside of the basket.
The kids can put the money in their piggy banks or if you’re giving this to a teen, they could use the money for college. All in all, it is a thoughtful gesture. Here is the full tutorial.
