4 Tips for Creating the Perfect Easter Basket

Easter is coming and if you are anything like me, you are just getting around to figuring out that you need to make Easter baskets for your children. Or is that just me? Let's pretend it's everyone. Don't worry, we have you covered with these 4 Tips for Creating the Perfect Easter Basket. Spring means new beginnings and there is no better way to get creative than with Easter candy and Easter baskets. I love creating Easter baskets for each child every year because I really take the time to make certain that they fit their personalities exactly.

Nestle wants to help you hop into spring this year with some fun Easter candy that your kids will absolutely love and so do I. Creating the perfect Easter basket is a combination of not overdoing it but finding things that the recipient will love. Here are our 4 Tips for Creating the Perfect Easter Basket.

Tips for Creating the Perfect Easter Basket

1. Find the right candy.

Nothing is worse than a basket of Easter candy that no one wants to eat. My kids are especially fond of anything sweet & sour so SweeTARTS are the perfect thing to add to their basket. In addition, not everyone likes chocolate so I might put a few small pieces of chocolate in each basket but I stay away from those large chocolate bunnies.

2. Keep it small.

Not every Easter basket needs to be huge and in your face. In fact, I prefer to put together smaller baskets with items I know my kids will love and use. The basket we used is the perfect size and it doesn't take a lot to fill it up.

3. Plan ahead and don't go overboard.

Remember when I just said to keep it small? This goes along with that in that I always make a list of what I am going to put in each basket. I do this because it makes it simple to shop and I don't end up with things that don't fit or I can't use. I rarely go overboard because I am such a planner.

4. It doesn't have to be all candy.

This is incredibly important to remember. I pick a couple of types of candy that I know my kids will love and then I look for other things like games, puzzles and more. I love for my Easter baskets to have a combination of candy and things that stimulate their minds.
