Whether you’re making a basket for friends and siblings or you just love sharing goodies with loved ones, there are plenty of Easter basket ideas that will suit their style. For an ultra-sweet dose of holiday fun, considering adding some Chocolate bunnies, marshmallows, jelly beans or peanut butter eggs to any and all of the basket ideas on this list.
Monogram Magic
Personalized and monogrammed items are classically cool, making this a great theme for your Easter basket. From monogrammed towels to personalized jewelry, there are plenty of personal touches to update your basket fillers. You may even be able to find personalized candies, including chocolate iced with your basket recipient’s name, to make the personalized feeling even sweeter. If you want to add a little bit of variety, consider adding some items that are personal without spelling out a name, such as a custom-printed book of photos.
Terrific Tech
Who doesn’t love some sweet tech accessories? There are plenty of opportunities to get creative in what you add to this basket, too. Emergency battery charger packs, high-quality headphones, decorative phone cases and USB thumb drives are all great options to include in a tech-themed basket. If you want to get a single large item to include alongside some candy, think about something compact but enjoyable, such as a portable Bluetooth speaker unit your recipient can pair with their phone or tablet.
Super Style
Beauty tools and cosmetic products are small, fun and useful, making them an awesome choice for Easter basket fillers. There are a lot of options to consider, but you can narrow down your choices by focusing on what you know the basket recipient likes and uses on a regular basis. For example, friends who love to style their hair might appreciate receiving a flat iron or their favorite brand of hair product in their baskets. There are even some good options in this category for girls and guys who are just getting into hair and makeup, including cologne, shaving kits, lip balms and shower gels.
School Spirit
You probably spend a good portion of time considering your future, and if you and your friends have already decided which colleges you’d like to go to, that could make the perfect Easter basket theme. For example, if you know someone who dreams of attending UCLA, you can look for a blue basket and fill it with gold foil-wrapped chocolate eggs, plus a UCLA baseball cap or hoodie. Whether it’s the football team mascot or a book about how to ace the college application process, this basket theme encourages you to dream big for the future.
Cozy Cool
It’s always a good time to get some new pajamas, right? A loungewear-themed Easter basket will provide your loved one with everything they’ll need to relax. You can fill this basket with PJs, slippers or other cozy clothes and include a variety of treats for your friend or sibling to enjoy. This is a basket that’s sure to please just about anyone!
Cheerful Charity
Giving back is always a great idea, and you can give a treasured person in your life something special with a charity-focused Easter basket. From products that include a charitable contribution in the purchase cost to certificates announcing direct donations in the recipient’s name, a charity Easter basket allows you to display your support of a cause that’s important to your friend or loved one. To stay on-theme, consider choosing organic and sustainably produced candies, and selecting a container made from recycled or sustainable materials such as metal or bamboo to use in lieu of a traditional Easter Basket.
