Just a Few Ideas for Easter Baskets

Just a Few Ideas for Easter Baskets

Sometimes I like to give friends something special for Easter. For an adult the traditional Baskets are alittle childish, but just because we grow up doesn't mean that we have to stop celebrating the holiday. Here are a few ideas for alternative baskets.

Spa Basket: Get a great wooden basket and fill it with personal relaxation products. Some things you can add are; a towel, bath beads, bubble bath, hair clips, perfume, body lotion, loofa, bath pillow.

Vegitarian Basket: Fill a basket with things related to meat free eating. You can add; fruit, a cook book on vegitarian cooking, a stuffed animal, popcorn, a small sauce pan, cooking utencils, a potholder.

Momma to Be Basket: fill a basket, or diaper bag with great baby items. You can add; a blanket, onesies, socks, bottles, pacifiers, diapers, rattles, diaper pins, a stuffed animal, a really great outfit (assuming you know what it's going to be boy or girl).

Wife Basket: Fill a basket with things your special woman would love. Some things you can add are; Taper candles, grill lighter, something lacy (guys, you get to pick it out), Two champaigne glasses, a great champagne or wine, CHOCOLATE!!!, a new romantic CD, A poem (written by you), you can cover it with flower pedals or just put a couple of her favorite flowers in it.

Husband Basket: Fill the basket with things your husband would love. Some things you can put in it are; Music, Video game, magazines, beer, chips, a new t-shirt, a hat, his favorite movie, a love letter (you write), a sexy picture of you.

Handy-man Basket: Fill the basket with tools related to his hobbie or job. you can put in it; screwdrivers, nails and screws, wrench, measuring tape, pencils, hammer, utility knive, a couple of woodworking patterns, a book on projects, work belt, nuts and bolts, laser level.

Cooking Basket: Fill the basket with food related items. Some things to add are; a cooking pan, cook books, utencils, spices, potholders, kitchen towels, an apron, timer, wisk, spatula, measuring cups and measuring spoons.

I hope I have given you some good ideas to get you started, You can pretty much put any theme to your basket, just give it a little thought. Have fun creating and Happy Easter!!

A Great Alternative to Easter Grass

If you're the type of person who is always looking for a "Cleaner" way to do things, I have a great idea for you. Easter grass is made from plastic and plastic isn't biodegradable, however paper is!

Most people these days have a paper shredder, try using your shredded paper as the grass in your easter baskets. The best part is that paper comes in a great variety of colors, so just like the plastic stuff, you can still make the baskets beautiful.

In the long run, your 2008 easter won't still be around in a hundred years to dirty up the planet.

A Great Alternative to a Basket

A Great Alternative to an Easter Basket

Have you ever wondered what to do with all those old Easter Baskets that your kids get for easter? I personally have 3 kids, so that means that those baskets pile up quickly.

I have found no real good thing to do with those cheap baskets, so I came up with an alternative. Instead of the Easter Bunny bringing his treats in a traditional basket, He brings them is something different, like a hat, or beach pail.

If you use something functional, then there will be no baskets to store, or even throw away.

Another tradition our Bunny has started is to bring the kids a new spring outfit. (Preferably something that matches the hat). If you just browse the stores, then I'm sure you'll have many ideas in just a few minutes, you just have to look at things a different way.

Not to mention, your kids will love the new Easter Tradition. Give it a try!
