Easter Baskets For Kids
By:
Published: May 9, 2007
We all remember crawling out of bed Easter morning as a child, excited to see what the Easter bunny had left us. Would there be Cadbury Cream Eggs? Plastic eggs filled with pennies? A gigantic chocolate bunny? Regardless of what prizes it offered, the joy of waking up to an Easter basket was a treasure itself.
Parents now have far more options when selecting the perfect Easter gift basket than their parents had, thanks to the variety available with effortless point and click online shopping.
For Easter baskets with no assembly necessary, the website Adorablegiftbaskets.com offers a dozen options between $40-60. Active kids will enjoy the Kids Busy Basket, stocked with a CD, drawing pad, stickers, and more. Children with a sweet tooth will be thrilled to find the Ultimate Easter Feast basket, piled high with brand-name chocolates, cute stuffed animals, cookies, and other boxed snacks. Just make sure to place an order as early as possible. Many websites sell out of their top Easter baskets weeks before the holiday, and extra shipping fees are charged for a rush order.
For a more personalized Easter basket, various kinds of Monogrammed Easter baskets can be found online and then filled with the recipient's favorite goodies. Vendors such as Fancy Stitches will embroider a name onto the Easter basket, while Things Remembered will engrave a silver heart charm attached to an elegant white basket.
All-encompassing shopping websites like Amazon or eBay can be the place to find the best deals on personalized Easter baskets. A soccer-themed basket will be perfect for an athlete who has grown out of flowers and bunnies, but still hopes for candy bars and jelly beans. A metal chalkboard Easter basket will be a special surprise for precocious aspiring artists. And let's not forget a Nickelodeon Easter gift basket for Spongebob and Dora the Explorer fans. All of these unique Easter baskets and more can be found at Shopwiki.com for prices spanning from just a dollar to a whopping $300.
Many candy distributors also sell Easter gift packages. For chocolate-lovers, Ghiradelli offers colorful boxes and tins filled strictly with chocolate eggs and squares. Hershey's has a wide selection of egg-shaped sweets to fill baskets with, from orange creme eggs to almond joy coconut eggs to Reese's chocolate peanut butter eggs.
Some parents like to use the occasion to exercise their children's creative muscles by teaching kids to weave, paper mache, or decorate their own Easter basket. Directions can be found on websites like FamilyFun.com or Creativekidsathome.com. Other unique containers for Easter treats include using a faux bird's nest, a ceramic pot, or a flower girl's basket.
Craft supplies and stuffings like Easter filler grass, candies, gift cards, stuffed animals and toys can be easily found in the months before Easter at stores like Michael's, JoAnne's, Target, and Wal-Mart. Share the love this spring and buy in bulk at wholesale stores like Price Club, Costco, or Big Lots. Co-workers and clients will appreciate the goodies you bring, and neighbors will be excited to find a doorstep surprise next to their Sunday newspaper.
The holidays are always a great time to teach kids the spirit of generosity, and Easter basket giving doesn't have to end with family and friends. Every year there are opportunities to donate Easter gift baskets to charities and churches working to bless children living in group homes, foster kids, children of inmates, and impoverished families. Helping kids less fortunate than themselves can be a very rewarding experience for children.
Easter morning is filled with memories in the making as each child rifling through the treats and trinkets of his or her personalized Easter basket. Parents and children alike can appreciate the nostalgia and tastiness of a holiday celebrated by waking up to candy and family.
