I’ve had a few Magpie Mail inquiries about what I’m putting in my children’s Easter baskets. I ordered these baskets (they lay flat for storage!), though if I had the space for a proper wicker basket, I love these and these and these basket bows!
My usual strategy is to give a book, a toy, something artsy/musical, and some plastic easter eggs filled with M&Ms/jellybeans. (We also do a small Easter egg hunt in our living room, though if we had a backyard, how sweet is this Easter egg hunt sign kit?)
I am big on giving books at every possible occasion, including Easter! Below, a few books to consider for Easter for little babies:
KAREN KATZ BOOKS ARE ALWAYS A HIT WITH MY CHILDREN
PETER RABBIT TOUCH AND FEEL BOOK*
And for slightly older children / toddlers:
*These are the ones I’m buying micro and mini this year, as we own almost all of the others already!
Basket fillers for itty bitty babies (under a year):
TOMY EGGS (MINI LOVE LOVE LOVED THESE AND HONESTLY STILL PLAYS WITH THEM!)
JELLYCAT BASHFUL BUNNY OR A LAMB STUFFIE
And for slightly older children:
CLIP-ON EARRINGS KIT (LOVE)
WATER BASED NAIL POLISH FOR TODDLERS
If you’re doing something big ticket: this bunny ride-along scooter or this bunny sorting toy!
*These are the items I am buying for micro and mini, respectively. Have given several of the others to them already!
I like to have something fun/interactive for them at the Easter table, too, along the lines of:
BUNNY POPPERS (HAD THESE AT OUR TABLE LAST YEAR)
PLUSH BUNNY EARS OR PAPER ONES
More Easter finds, including for your table (and yourself – what to wear!), here and here. And if you’re dropping off treats for friends…how sweet are these!
P.S. I really love this shoe.
P.P.S. More of latest and greatest finds.
P.P.P.S. Loved all the comments on this post.
