Easter Baskets questions
What do you put in an Easter basket?
One or two main items (a book, toy or kit), three to six small fillers, and a few chocolate eggs. Theme it around something the person loves.
How much should I spend on an Easter basket?
It is entirely up to you — many of our baskets can be made with low-cost fillers, and non-candy stuffers often cost less than chocolate.
What can I use instead of a basket?
A sand bucket, a bath organiser, a storage tub, a reusable shopping bag or a hat all work and get used again.
What are good non-candy Easter basket ideas?
Bubbles, chalk, books, craft kits, seed packets, bath toys and socks. See our full list of 40 non-candy stuffers.
