Are you looking for an Easter Basket to make that is easy? I love going for themed baskets because once I basically decide on a direction I am going, it becomes much easier to fill the basket. Remembering the age of the child that you are making the Easter basket for is very important.
TIP: If you are a grandparent, remember that kids grow quickly. What they liked last year may not fit their style or their body this year! Give parents a call to see what the latest hobbies and interests are. Then you will be sure to come up with an Easter basket to make just for them.
Get inspired for filling your Easter Basket when you use these ideas. As you can see, the sky is the limit! I got some great ideas and feedback from the Faithful Provisions Facebook readers, and will try to include many of them here. As always, I would love your input!

With Easter coming in April this year, it’s given me time to collect lots more Easter Basket Ideas for you! What are your favorites?
My kids are teens/college students but the whole neighborhood has group hunt for age groups hence the Easter Bunny still comes for all. They enjoy:
Fishing lures, magazines, supplies
Nail polish, facial items
Starbucks or food gift certificates
Movie tickets
Items for camping, things for the car
ideas are endless…I just wanted to add my thoughts since last year I had included daughter’s boyfriend to the basket list and he was very moved as he hadn’t had a basket since he was 10 or so and really appreciated. It was a nice family time before heading to church.
