EASTER BASKET ROUNDUP

Mar 14, 2022kids + crafts, life + family

Possibly the most fun gift/holiday roundup I’ve put together, yet! Makes me so excited to start filling the kids’ baskets. Hopefully you find it just as helpful, even if just for inspiration. Tried my best to include a range of price points and age groups, but definitely more for the school age kids. I also made a set just for the tweens and teens… there’s a couple really cute things you’ll want for yourself too!

ADORABLE BASKETS + TOTES THAT DOUBLE AS EASTER BASKETS

READ + SNUGGLE

Lots of fun Bible options here and we love everything from she/he/kids read truth.

MORE + MISC.

… oops! Missed a few things to the sets above so worth scrolling through!

Easter baskets are one of those things that looks different each year for us. Sometimes each kid gets a bigger gift (like a scooter or skateboard) and then a book and some candy. Other times their baskets are filled with things they’ll need for our next vacation (like goggles or water shoes), and others they get a random mix of craft supplies and outdoor activities…. or whatever is still available at Target :)

For sweets, we usually include a chocolate bunny and then this year I’m planning on making candy kabobs to add. Hoping the fancy presentation distracts from the lack of actual candy they get, lol.

What do you usually add to your Easter baskets!?

xo, Rae

🤎THE 5 MINUTE NO BAKE ÉCLAIR CAKE RECIPE YOU N 🤎THE 5 MINUTE NO BAKE ÉCLAIR CAKE RECIPE YOU NEEEEEED🤎 My mom deserves all the credit for this recipe that she’s been making for my birthday (I hate the usual kind of cake) since I was little. Recipe below or at the link in bio!

YOU’LL NEED:
2 3.5 ounce packages of instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups whole milk
8 ounces whipped topping (like cool whip), thawed
2 sleeves graham cracker rectangles
1 package mini chocolate chips (or cc of choice)
HERE’S HOW:
Whisk or hand mix pudding, whole milk, and whipped topping. Set aside.
In a 9×11 in dish or similar size dish or serving bowl, place a single layer of graham crackers – breaking pieces as needed. On top of the graham crackers, spread half of the whipped pudding mixture, evenly. On top of that, add another layer of graham crackers and then the remaining whipped mixture.
Top with chocolate chips as desired, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours (or overnight) before serving.
Notes
The longer you chill, the softer the graham crackers become, but it takes days before they become soggy.
