50+ Easter Basket Ideas for any age!

With these 50 + Easter Basket Ideas you can easily create beautiful and affordable Easter baskets whether for babies, child, tween, teen or adult!

Easter is one of my very favorite holidays because of our family traditions that we have created. Since starting my own family we have created our own family traditions, in addition to hiding baskets, that we make sure we do every year. Ours are a mix of our old childhood family traditions and new traditions. And I encourage everyone to feel free to forge their own paths and create whichever traditions they can dream up!

Family Traditions

reusable paper grass

The night before we leave out all our Easter baskets and paper grass basket filler so that the Bunny can reuse the same ones year after year.

a note for the easter bunny

We also leave a carrot and a note out for Mr Easter Bunny. Thankfully for the Bunny, Chayce has yet to grill him with a thousand questions like she does to Santa. And yes, she expects hand written responses from Santa. Every. Year. Fingers crossed that she doesn’t decide to start quizzing the Bunny too!

Reusable eggs

Mom and Dad also hide large reusable paper mache eggs with goodies inside.

egg smash

After all the loot has been found and we have eaten some breakfast (in addition to all the chocolate), we head down to Grandpa and Grandma’s house to continue the celebration and smash real eggs over each other’s heads! Seriously, we do. If you’ve never heard of cascarones, check out my post all about it here.

Easter baskets + Easter Basket Ideas

The kids always wake up to find that the Bunny has visited and brought them baskets to find.

If your Easter Bunny gets overwhelmed with the thought of putting together a thoughtful and cute basket in addition to the possibility of a midnight 10+ question fill in the blank quiz like mine does, then go ahead and show him or her the list below of some of my favorite basket filler ideas:
