Easter is just 3 weeks away and have I gotten anything for my kids’ Easter baskets? Nope. I just don’t get out shopping like I used to anymore. Between work and the kids school and activity schedules I have no time to get out and shop, especially without at least one of my kids with me.
I usually choose an Easter Basket theme each year, something I know the girls are into at the time or something I know will be part of our spring/summer. A few years ago when we were first starting our vegetable garden I bought my girls gardening gloves, watering cans, garden themed books, sunglasses, a garden craft and chocolate carrots. They loved it and couldn’t wait to get started with planting our garden!
So, I thought I would try buying everything online this year and put together a few basket ideas to share with you all as I go. Order what you like, wait for the goodies to come in the mail and then assemble!
Special notes:
1. These basket ideas are candy-free. If you want to add candy it is much cheaper to go to your grocery store or local Target and pick up candy.
2. Some of these item combinations can get expensive when adding them up. Pick one, two, three items – whatever fits your budget or age of your child.
3. Target has Free 2-Day shipping on orders of $35 or more. Amazon has Free shipping for Prime members or for orders $25 or more.
