Ask someone what they think of when you say the word “Easter”, and Easter baskets are sure to come to mind. The colorful, candy-filled baskets were a tradition in Europe before German settlers brought the tradition to the U.S. in the 18th century, when American children were also introduced to the Easter bunny. Although, in the past, Easter baskets were only given to children, the growing popularity of gourmet gift baskets has made Easter gift baskets an adult treat, too.
What started as nests filled with small candies and toys has grown into beautifully woven, brightly colored baskets. Easter baskets can be filled individually or purchased already put together. Pre-made baskets for children include small toys and a few candy items, usually featuring a theme that kids love – a favorite movie or cartoon character.
Easter baskets
Childrens’ Easter baskets are relatively simple, because kids always like candy and small toys. For adults, baskets can have a theme ranging from gourmet food to the traditional candy-filled basket, catered to more grownup tastes. Here are some ideas for baskets that are also available pre-made:
*Easter morning breakfast baskets include real maple syrup, gourmet pancake mix, instant tea or coffee with a mug, and fine quality jams.
*Easter candy baskets for adults can include candy from their childhood. Either purchase a pre-made basket based on the decade your friend or family member was born, or research popular candies from that decade and include them in a homemade basket. Alternately, fill a basket with gourmet chocolates for a decadent treat.
*Pampering Easter gift baskets include a loofah, body wash or bubble bath, lotion, and the recipient’s favorite perfume or body spray.
An Easter basket is sure to bring a smile to a friend or family member this spring. It’s easy to let a loved one know they’re being thought of by sending a gourmet gift basket full of their favorite treats. Remind someone you care by sending an Easter gift basket in the mail today!
