Easter Gift Basket

We celebrate with eggs, bunnies, and chicks. It is also a religious holiday when the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated. For Easter, there are ways to decorate a fantastic basket for children and adults alike.

Kids love to wake up on Easter morning and find gifts of treats and trinkets at the end of their beds. Commercially created baskets are everywhere in stores for parents to buy. These are okay when you are in a pinch but a basket that you create for your children says that you took the time to give them a gift that was uniquely for them.

Do they like stuffed animals? Add a few to the basket. For a boy, little race cars or action figures would make them smile.

For a girl, a doll or two, combined with some hair accessories or play jewelry meets her needs. Choose their favorite colors. This is something that you can’t do with a premade basket.

When it comes to sweets, most baskets contain candy bars, hard candy, and other tasty tidbits. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a toothbrush to remove those candy bits from their teeth afterwards. Parents can substitute such unfriendly tooth fare with healthier snacks. Gummi candies, miniature chocolate bars, and sugarless gum are far better than the alternatives.

Religious gift baskets are also appropriate for Easter. To enhance their faith, give a friend a basket filled with faith and hope. Knowing their faith and their preferences, fill a basket with a few books on Easter, cross jewelry, pens, journals, and other religious symbols.

Beautiful paintings of religious scenes or paperweights with scriptures inscribed on them work for men and women. Thomas Kinkade faith inspired lithographs make perfect gifts. CD’s of Easter music and soothing sounds will create a relaxing mood as they read or write in a journal.

Include a few snacks for the adults to enjoy as well. We all like sweets. What about decorating? A few of the smaller items can be taped around the basket.

If you are worried that tape will get messy, stick a piece of tape on the back of the items and attach them to the side of the basket. To ensure they stay, sit the basket inside a cellophane bag and tie with a decorative ribbon.

Easter brings treats and faith. Combine them both in a gift basket.
