Eggcellent Easter Basket Ideas for Everyone

By Chelsea Owens, Guest Writer

Looking for the best Easter basket ideas for girls, Easter basket ideas for boys, and even Easter basket ideas for teenagers? Never fear; we have them all! In fact, we even found a couple Easter basket ideas for guys.

Let’s start at the beginning. Do you know an expectant mother or do you have a newborn baby you simply must spoil? A Baby’s First Easter Basket sounds in order to me:

What about toddlers? Since you don’t want too many Easter treats for those hyperactive darlings, try this Easter basket without candy option. It has yogurt bites, veggie puffs, and Little People friends.

Perhaps you’re blessed with a little one who loves PJ Masks. Take a hint from this design and throw in some Gecko, Owlette, or Catboy candies and chocolates. Did you even know there were PJ Masks Easter candy?

Moving up in age and interests brings us to unicorns. What little girl doesn’t want a unicorn Easter basket? Throw in some rainbows, a unicorn figurine, and some magic and you’re good to go.

Of course, most kids have a variety of interests. I like how tasteful this assorted basket is with its doll, book, crayons, and fabric wand.

But let’s not forget how cool an Avengers Easter basket would be. Wait -not a basket; this epic collection of Avengers toys and gear is stuffed in a reusable bucket.

Personally, I’m fond of going outside the basket for Easter ideas. This basket-free Easter basket is one of the most clever ideas I’ve seen. Not only did they use kids rain boots, but they stuffed in a few outside toys like pinwheels, shovels, rakes, and seeds.

Okay, okay: this is my last non-basket Easter basket idea ...for kids, anyway. It’s an adorable wagon, complete with candy and a few plastic gardening tools.

Another option on our list of candy-free ideas is to go with a basket of art supplies: bathtub finger paint, paint by numbers, markers, clay, and bubbles.

Maybe you’ve entered the teenage years. Your young man may be too old for egg hunts, but you and he still want a basket of sorts. That’s why this Easter basket for teens is perfect. It’s a baseball cap stuffed with favorites like beef jerky and Pringles chips.

Need another Easter basket for teenagers? Go with a sports ball bag stuffed with accessories. He’s going to beg for XBox game upgrades and pizza anyway; why not gift them in the name of Easter?

Now, how ‘bout a little something for the husband or boyfriend? You’re not the first to want to show him some Easter lovin’ with an Easter basket for guys. This basket is even made of tools. Hey! It counts for Easter!

Last but best is an Easter basket for ladies. Personally, I’d like a basket with a coupon for a week off, but I’ll take a spa package from the Easter Bunny as well.

Easter baskets for the whole family seem like a big deal; but, with these ideas, you’ll have one for everyone faster than you can eat the ears off a chocolate bunny.
