If you’re out of ideas of what to put in your child’s Easter basket this year, we’re here to help. Here is a list of Easter goodies and gifts created by San Diego Family staff. Pick a few items from the list below, add some colorful Easter grass, pom-poms or raffia and boom, you got this!
Looking for creative alternatives to using Easter baskets? Think outside the box—make the container part of the gift. Put items in a baseball hat, toy dump truck, rain boots, a sand pail, laundry basket, cool bedroom trash can, child-sized wheelbarrow, toy wagon, tackle box, watering can, even a new training potty for toddlers. The options are endless!
