Modern Easter Basket Ideas Your Kids Will Love

Easter is in 2 weeks! Whether we will be able to have Sunday Service or not, The Easter Bunny can certainly still make his way around. Since none of us will be able to get out and shop for Easter goodies this year, what a great time to get online and start ordering stuff. I love buying goodies for my kiddos. I usually enjoy perusing the aisle of Target, finding cute little items to throw into their basket. This year, I did a deep dive into the inter-webs to find the best and cutest little gifts that can fill your Easter baskets this year.

See below for modern Easter gifts your kids will definitely L-O-V-E!

Modern Easter Baskets

Let’s start with the baskets. I love using baskets that weren’t intended to be Easter baskets. The ones out there that come out only in the spring typically are overly cheesy and covered with bunnies and the worst form of pastel colors. If you look a little deeper and head to the home decor section, you can find some great baskets that can double as toy or blanket storage. See below for some of my favorite options!
