SHARE WITH OTHERS
All great ideas and in the past, I totally did a basket for my girls with all fun hair clips, bows and more. I shared it on my blog, too. So, definitely can’t go wrong their with girly girls. Thanks for sharing and going to keep a few more of your ideas in mind for this year now, too. Have a wonderful week ahead now xoxo <3
I love coming up with gift ideas! I seriously should be a personal shopper ;)
Thanks for sharing Janine! I’ll have to check out your Easter list!
Seems like today was easter basket ideas as I did one similar as well. These are all great ideas as we’re moving away from candy this year ourselves as well.
LOL – I guess everyone’s thinking Easter baskets, hey?! I’ll have to check out your list too!
These are so adorable. Who wouldn’t want silly putty and mini baby dolls? I know I do! We do some candy, but it’s good quality See’s candy. (although they think it’s made by the Easter Bunny) And then some nice little things like the above.
As you know, my kids are mostly Jewish and a little Catholic and a little Mormon and I get so confused by sharing the meaning of Easter with them, so I appreciate that you have those details above. I’d like them to learn about faith.
I’m delighted you found these Easter basket suggestions helpful!
Wishing you a lovely week my friend!
Thanks for taking the time to research and suggest some great books and music ideas. They aren’t the usual Easter stories or songs, but good new resources to look for to add to our collection. Might need a bigger basket to collect the fun items.
Thanks Melanie! I’m glad these resources were of help and inspiration to you!
