Easter Baskets have been a long time tradition in my family and has been passed down for years. Every Easter Sunday I would wake up to find a white wicker basket full of pink straw and filled with spring goodies and of course, candy. It’s something I still do to this day and look forward to it every year (Yes, 29 year olds can have them too)!
I think I love the idea of an Easter basket because after the holiday season of Christmas, everyone gets so caught up in the hustle and bustle and I feel like Easter is the perfect time to show appreciation and thoughtfulness to your close friends and family, all while still enjoying the true meaning of Easter.
You can read about the history of Easter baskets here or here, but I have included a few highlights!

So that's a little lesson on Easter baskets. Lets dive in on what I feel like makes the perfect Easter basket! I am going to share with you my hot tips and tricks and show you one that my mom and I put together!
I think the most important thing when putting together an Easter basket is finding things that they really are interested in and you can tailor it to them. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself. - What are they interested in right now? - What are their favorite treats? - Have they mentioned something they have been wanting?
These questions are all a great start to filling that special Easter basket.

We did a fun "work out and self care" theme for this one.
