Putting together an Easter basket or two – (or three in my case)?
Wondering what to put in them without spending too much money? Then I have just the thing!
I’m not quite sure when Easter baskets became a thing – we didn’t have them when I was little – but they’re certainly a thing now.
A bit like Father Christmas, my kids now think the Easter bunny brings not only chocolate eggs, but presents too.
Of course it’s all my fault for indulging them, but there’s only so many years they’re going to believe in the Easter bunny so I don’t mind going along with it.
This year I set a budget of no more than £10 per item, and in fact the most expensive thing in their baskets comes in at £6. So, if you’re in need of some inspiration here’s what I’m putting in the kids’ Easter baskets this year.
Easter basket gift ideas for under £10
1. Paint-your-own Easter bunny door
I love the idea of this! Perfect for at home or outdoors.
2. Fluffy notebook
If you’re the owner of a stationery lover they’ll love this – it’s got fluffy ears and everything!
3. Bunny ears
Because who doesn’t like a pair of fluffy ears?
4. Tulip windmills
An alternative take on the traditional windmill, these tulips from Chad Valley are perfect for a spring garden (or allotment).
5. Sunflower seeds
Super easy to grow (trust me, they thrive on neglect) sunflowers are the perfect flowers for kids to grow from seed.
6. Bunny & chick biscuit cutters
Because I couldn’t resist and secretly want them for myself!
7. Chocolate lollipops
You can’t have an Easter basket without a bit of chocolate, and if you’re a mum of three like me these are currently 3 for 2 at Marks and Spencer.
Are you putting together Easter baskets this year? Do you have any other ideas? I’d love to know what they are!
I bought all of the items featured in this post myself. We were not gifted any of them and I am simply sharing them for anyone else putting together Easter baskets too!
I love these ideas especially the bunny door, my two would love that so I’m going to pop to Sainsbury’s and see we can pick one up for them. The seeds are such a good idea too, much better than lots of chocolate. #MMBC
Easter baskets are such fun! I never had them when I was a child either but my girls get them now.
Aww! Everything is so cute. I love that Easter bunny door x #MMBC
Cute ideas! We try to get practical items now that the girls are a bit older (7 and 10.) I’ll find bath bombs, body wash, lotions and sometimes lip balm or lip shine.
Your kids will love your baskets!

mmm very nice. I’m going to look at how to make an Easter tree now 🙂
So cute! I haven’t even started shopping for our sons baskets yet. I’m also hosting this year, whoops! Thanks for sharing 🙂
These are great suggestions and I agree they weren’t the done thing when I was a child either #MMBC
Awesome suggestions, I love the cute little bunny notebook! We didn’t have Easter baskets when we were younger either. I feel robbed! x #MMBC
