It’s about that time of year when the Easter Bunny makes his yearly rounds and brings wonderfully unique Easter baskets to all the good boys, girls, and adults. While most kids end up with some combination of marshmallow chicks and chocolate bunny rabbits, there are actually a lot of creative ideas for Easter baskets. Whether you enlist someone to make a unique or traditional basket for you, or you are going to try your hand at creating one yourself, the combinations that can be incorporated into one basket are nearly endless.
Crayons, Chalk and More
Start with a great, colorful, and very importantly,
reusable Easter basket and load it up with
fun crayons, bath markers, paints, and
sidewalk chalk. Some cute little
plushies in colorful Easter eggs round out
the fun and colorful Easter basket that is great for any age.
Clay Creations
If you have ever been a kid, you have probably played with Play-Doh. One great
option for an Easter basket is a complete set of colorful clay and tools for
molding it. Play-Doh offers fun “Spring Eggs” kits that are perfect additions to any Easter basket. Toss in a chocolate
bunny and some fun stampers for good
measure, and watch your little one go nuts!
Healthy Options
Easter does not have to be a time of expanding waistlines and excessive amounts
of chocolate. There are plenty of
great healthy options
for Easter basket, too. Traditional
fruit baskets are an excellent choice, as
are
fruit bouquets. Fruit bouquets have become a very popular option for a lot of different
holidays and occasions, and you can
make one yourself, or enlist the help of a
professional for perfect presentation.
For the Grown-Ups
Easter baskets are not just for kids anymore. There are plenty of great baskets
that can be put together for the adults in the household, too. Grab a gorgeous
and luxuriant
spa basket
for Mom and create a car care basket for
Dad, along with the bunnies and eggs for the little ones, for an Easter morning
the whole family will love.
Gourmet Options
For slightly older kids, something a little more tasteful (and tasty) might be
in order. Godiva has several
Easter offerings
for the discerning teen in your life, including combination baskets with
plushies and Lindt chocolate, too. There are gourmet baskets available from
nearly every major chocolatier in the world, meaning you can choose or create
the perfect gourmet chocolate Easter basket.
Chocolate is not the only gourmet option for Easter baskets. There are loads of specialty food companies that make special Easter basket offerings that are available only around Easter. From summer sausages to perfectly aged cheese, wine, and more, there are gourmet basket options in nearly every food category.

Going the Traditional Route
If you are not interested in gourmet foods or specialized baskets, you can go
the traditional route. Chocolate bunnies, gooey marshmallow confections and
jellybeans, along with a sweet stuffed rabbit and some awesome Easter-themed
candy are still the basic ingredients for Easter fun.
