Easter Baskets

Free Easter Basket Craft – Printable Download!

Easter is right around the corner, and I’m sharing a fun craft for you – an Easter Treat Basket. This is a great project to do one-on-one at home, but you could also do this at a school party and then let children fill their baskets with treats. Fun and easy!

Once you’ve printed your page for the Easter basket from the PDF (I’ll link to the file at the end of this post), let your kids color to their hearts’ content. I had fun coloring one for an example – you might want to do this project  yourself, too! One note – make sure you fill out the “to” and “from” part now, because this will be on the bottom of the basket once it’s complete.

HappyEasterStore.com Review & $50 Giveaway

SELECT post_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id IN (2656,2620,2164,2163,2162) ORDER BY meta_id ASC

There’s a little over a month until Easter is here, and all of the stores are filled with Easter goodies. I have a lot of fond memories of Easter from growing up, and always loved getting my basket of treats. Now that we have kids, it’s a lot of fun to try to make holidays special for them, too.

Brian had a personalized Easter basket growing up, and I thought this would be a fun tradition to carry on for the kids. However, in looking around I realized pretty quickly that personalized baskets can get expensive.  Then I got the opportunity to review HappyEasterStore.com and I was impressed at the variety of low-cost, customizable options they had available.

I chose to review personalized baskets for the boys, and get this – they sell for only $19.99, and come with everything you need to fill the basket! You can see in the picture below, but the baskets each included a small stuffed rabbit, Peeps, a chocolate bunny, malt balls, jelly beans, pastel candy corn, chocolate eggs, and grass.

I priced out what it would cost to recreate the basket on my own, just to see what the value truly was:

  • Personalized basket with liner: $30
  • Candy: $7.00
  • Grass: $1.00
  • Stuffed rabbit: $3.00
  • Total: $41.00

At $19.99, I feel like these baskets are a great value. I love the vibrant colors of the liners against the white and know these will be baskets we’ll use for the boys year after year. So, if you’re looking for Easter gift baskets you should definitely visit HappyEasterStore.com – there are a lot of options for personalized items that will be something special for your children. You can also find Easter gifts at Red Envelope – check out these adorable eggs, among the other items available.
