Easter is a time of celebration, of eggs, chocolate rabbits and new clothing. Set when spring is in full swing, Easter is an important part of Western culture, whether religious or not, and Easter gift baskets are a great way to share in the festive spirit of the holiday.
Three Easter gift basket ideas
There are three ways you can go when you start thinking about Easter gift baskets. First, you can go with chocolate bunnies, colored eggs and a big plush bunny. Second, you can go for a more personalized basket that is focused on the interests of the person you are giving it to. Third, you can forego the commercial path and make your own.
Fill them up with candy
Sending a gift basket to a family member or friend is a nice way to show you are thinking of them on this festive holiday. If you are going the commercial route you can spend from 15-20 dollars on the Easter basket or all the way up to 100 dollars or more. What do you get for your money? You’ll get a plush rabbit of some kind. Shopping online allows you to see a picture of the toy they offer. In addition to the bunny you will get a variety of chocolate and candy. There might be other toys or things, but the focus is usually on lots of candy.
Other basket fillers
If the person you are buying for is not a candy junkie, you may want to buy them a gift basket that is more personalized. Many options exist, including ham or processed meat, cheese, cookies, gourmet nuts, coffee, or even a nice wine basket. These will often cost more, but may provide a nicer alternative. Find something the person will like and mention Easter on the card – instant Easter gift basket.
Personalized Easter baskets
Finally, a good way to send out nice Easter gift baskets is to make them yourself. This may end up costing more, both in the making and in the shipping, but you get to give away a truly personalized Easter basket. Choose a basket, decorate it, and start loading it up with things you know the person will like. Easter is the theme, but you can put whatever you like into it. You can even forgo the traditional basket and put everything in a more personal container, like a shopping tote or even a toolbox. When you are making it yourself, there are no limits.
