The Cutest Little Easter Basket

Easter is almost here!
I love everything about Easter...I love the reason, the food, the drinks, the family getting together in our Sunday's best...but mostly I love watching my kids search for the most Easter Eggs...
and then discovering their Easter Baskets outside our front door!

So... what would the cutest little Easter Basket hold?
Take a look at some of our favorite little goodies....
First Let's start with a cute Easter Basket...
If you are a mom of boys, like me, ...maybe this easy DIY basket would be right up your alley...

I love the simplicity of this bucket with foam stickers...A basket that can be used in the sandbox or for storage again and again!

I love this basket from Martha Stewart (who else?)
 This slipcovered basket is really sweet and heirloom worthy.

You can't go wrong with the classic wooden basket. Again, from Martha Stewart.
To make the "paper grass" the editors at Martha just took colorful paper and shred it through an office shredder....cute and environmentally friendly!

For Girls, This basket is so sweet!

I love the glued on bows and the variety of goodies in the basket. From home made treats to store bought items re-packaged in cellophane bags to make them extra special.


How about a Flowered Easter Basket? Trim your basket in silk flowers or dried leaves...

Use vintage berry cartons as cute baskets for young ones...

Instead of the traditional basket, how about a paper bag embellished with ribbon and cut paper accents.


Some personalized baskets from PB kids are adorable for any little Girl or Boy..

Need some cute Ideas on what to put in the baskets?
How about  some adorable Sheep Sugar Cookies from Just Crumbs on Etsy


Aren't these polka- dot bunnies adorable?
 Package them individually in a cellophane wraper with a cute tag.
Available on Etsy from Sugar and Flour

Bubbles are always a Hit! Especially when they are battery operated!

Sunglasses are a popular treat around our house at Easter...especially in Arizona!
PB Kids

You can't go wrong with the Beatrix Potter Books at PB Kids...A classic!

We hope that have found some inspiration here...

There are so many wonderful places to shop for even more Goodies!
Some of our favorite TO GO places are:
Dollar Store

Some additional Ideas for Baskets Are:
Socks
Toothbrush
Art Supplies
Jewelry
Bubbles
Swim Goggles

Stay tuned as Jo and I put together our Easter Baskets for our kiddos...
We will show how-to's, where to buy,  and the end result!

XOXO,
Jen
