Unique Easter Basket Ideas That Will Wow Your Loved Ones
Easter is the perfect time to get creative with cute Easter basket ideas. If you’re looking for fresh and fun ideas, you’ve come to the right place!
Whether you’re filling baskets for kids, adults, or even pets, there are lots of cool ways to make this Easter extra special.
As the mom of 4 (two girls and 2 boys), I’ve had my fair share of helping the bunny shop and grab the best stuff.
While our family focuses on the fact that Easter is all about Jesus, his death, and resurrection – we CELEBRATE that he’s ALIVE! And it is a celebration. And we do it with a few gifts for the kids.
We actually don’t even really mention a bunny, the basket just shows up usually hidden in a super fun and funny spot!
From classic candy-filled treats to unique, personalized gifts, we’ve rounded up some of the best Easter basket ideas for every style and age.
Let’s get to it and create the baskets that everyone will love!
Planning the Perfect Easter Basket
Choosing a Theme for Your Easter Basket
- Consider a color scheme or theme that fits your Easter celebration and the person the basket is for.
- Think about the person’s interests and hobbies when selecting a theme. My son loves to swim so a swim-themed basket full of cool goggles, a new swimsuit for the pool, a towel, sunscreen, and blue colored various candy might be a good choice.
- Consider going all in on one color. If your kids love hot pink, shop for items that are all hot pink.
Selecting the Right Easter Basket
- Choose a basket that fits your theme and the person the basket is for.
- Consider a unique container or basket. In fact you don’t have to use a basket at all. You could opt for a small laundry bag, tote, or even a pretty box. Ever heard of an Easter stocking? Me neither but it could be a thing!
- Select a basket that is the right size for the items you want to include.
- Think about using a reusable basket to make it more practical.

Easter Basket Ideas for Adults
Hey! Just because I’m grown doesn’t mean I still don’t love to get stuff. Consider treating your husband, wife, friend, or co-worker with a personalized basket full of great items any adult would appreciate. My co-worker did this one year for another co-worker who had never in his life received an Easter Basket. He was so touched!
- Artisan chocolates or gourmet candy
- A bottle of their favorite wine or craft beer
- Scented candles or relaxing bath products
- Coffee or tea blends with a cute mug
- Small plants or succulents to add some greenery to their house
Creative Easter Basket Fillers
Easter Books and Activities
- Choose Easter books that fit the person’s interests and reading level.
- Consider a book about Jesus, His life, and what He’s done for us. I have a list of some of my favorite children’s books and what to write in the front of them if you give it as gift here.
- Consider including activity books, such as coloring books and puzzle books.
- Include some fun and interactive items, such as stickers and stencils. Non-food items are always a great idea.

Adding a Personal Touch to Your Easter Basket

- Consider using a bag of grass for each basket to make it look full and festive.
- You can also wrap some gifts to add some extra flair to the basket.
- Think about including a personalized note or card to make it special.
