Easter is just around the corner, so I’ve started thinking about what to put in those five little baskets. (Side note: I bought these baskets from World Market last year and they are so great! Only $10 and if you use ebates, you even get 4% back.) My motto with most gift giving is no junk. I like to mix fun things that can be enjoyed for awhile with a few practical things they’ll need for spring. And of course a bit of chocolate too! Today I’m sharing five of my favorite ideas for Easter 2016:
Animal Doodles // We love Usborne, don’t you? We have a similar set of these dry-erase cards (ours is monster-themed, which looks to be retired) and they are awesome! The perfect activity to throw in your bag for waiting rooms, the carpool line or restaurants.
Avian Friends Puzzle // Puzzles are always a big hit around here. Lately, we’ve been buying more difficult ones that they whole family can work on. (And if you have little ones who could quickly destroy all of your hard work, I highly recommend something like this. Lifesaver at our house!)
Lucy Owl Plush Doll // I am such a sucker for a well-made plush! We sell Lucy Owl at Big White Farmhouse (shameless plug!) and she is so, so sweet.
Petal Print Bunny Tee // One of the more practical items going into their baskets this year is a new shirt for spring. I tend to buy most of their clothing through ebay, ThredUp or Kidizen, so it’s a big treat to get something new with tags, hah!
Wizard of Oz Board Book // This is going into TJ’s basket. We already own a bunch of the BabyLit collection and each one is so cute. I may love them more than the kids!
I’d love to hear above five of your favorite things too!
