Trying to come up with unique custom Easter basket ideas for kids that go beyond basic chocolate bunnies and plastic eggs?

Make It Personal & One-of-a-Kind

The best way to make Easter baskets extra special?

Personalize 'em! Add the kid's name or monogram for a touch that shows you put real thought into it.

Some fun ideas:

  • Mini woven tote or bucket bag
  • Colorful canvas or jute pouches
  • Galvanized metal tub or planter
  • Pretty ceramic bowl or mug

Using an unexpected container as the "basket" makes it wayyyy more fun and personal.

Plus, it doubles as a cool knick-knack holder after the candy's gone!

Fill It With Kid-Approved Goodies

Go beyond basic chocolate and jelly beans.

Kids flip for:

  • Crafty DIY kits (slime, jewelry making, etc.)
  • Fun new book or magazine subscriptions
  • Small plush toys or collectible figurines
  • Age-appropriate gift cards (streaming, gaming, etc.)
  • Outdoor toys (bubbles, sidewalk chalk, sports balls)

The key? Choose stuff tailored to their current age and interests.

Toss in a few classic candy treats too for an extra Easter-y touch.

Get Creative With "Fillers"

Those shredded plastic basket fillers are so blah.

Instead, use creative fillers that add color, texture, and personality:

  • Dried flowers or petals
  • Pretty patterned tissue paper
  • Colorful pipe cleaners or pom poms
  • Crinkle cut paper shreds

Layering different fillers makes for a vibrant Easter basket brimming with thoughtfulness.

Put a Punny Easter Spin on It

For an extra giggle, choose basket stuffers with cute Easter puns and plays on words.

A few examples:

  • "Somebunny loves you" stuffed animal
  • "Egg-cellent" treats
  • Lip balm called "Chocolate Bunny Kisses"
  • "You're One Swell Chick" bath bombs

Cheesy? Maybe. But kids eat that stuff up!
