Easter Basket Ideas Without Leaving your Home

Sharing is caring!

I can say Easter is one of our favorite Holidays, this years will definitely be one like no other. We will still try to do our normal Easter traditions, minus going to church and heading over to families house {insert sad face}. If you needed some ideas on what to do to make it special, I wanted to share what we do along with easter basket ideas that you can do without leaving your home.

Before we begin, these Easter Basket liners that we have had for years are amazing and are the cutest ever from Porter Lane Home. I love how she creates products that can last a lifetime.

I probably added a little more than we normally do, just so the kids have some more fun things to do at home. I try to buy things that I know will have a spot, because as you know living in a small space we don’t have extra room.

As much as I love all the cute things to add in, I have to think about each piece. Crafts – gives them something to do and enjoy but I also like to think what will happen when done. Chalk, bubbles, squirt guns – hours of fun! For the toys – we have a spot in their room for each of the things that I got them.

All the stuff you see on the floor, is items I bought in multiples to separate and its an easy way to make things “fair” if you have kids that like to make sure, I feel every family has one of those. Now let me show you inside!

EASTER BASKET IDEAS:

Oliver ( Age 5)

EASTER BASKET IDEAS FOR 5 YEAR OLDS:

For Oliver, he loves all the things his siblings love so this may not be your typical 5 year old basket but I am sure you will finds some good ideas! * You can click on each item to shop.

I added a few extra things to each of the kids lists, of things they love in case you needed ideas of books and other things to do!

Koen ( Age 7)

EASTER BASKET GIFT IDEAS FOR 7 YEAR OLDS:

Koen loves everything Oliver does, I just got different colors and similar items. *You can click on each item to shop.

Emerson ( Age 10)

EASTER BASKET GIFT IDEAS FOR 10 YEAR OLDS:

Emerson is pretty similar to his brothers, besides the Ryan toys of course he likes another you-tuber FGTEEV. The kids all love bath bombs, so I found this fun DIY kit. There are lots of tutorials on how to make them, but I thought having the mold will be great for future use!

Zoe ( Age 8)

EASTER BASKET GIFT IDEAS FOR 8 YEAR OLDS:

Can you guess that Zoe’s will be different than the boys, honestly its a bit easy to go overboard with her good thing her birthday is right before Easter. I found this cool unicorn crystal set for her as a craft, then of course she is obsessed with barbies so that was a must! They all love the Crayola Scribble Scrubbies so that you will see in each basket!

EASTER GIFT IDEAS FOR DAD & MOM:

Now that we have the kids done, we can’t forget about the parents… well really that is so easy to do! I normally just add in some necessities and a want, along with some chocolate. Confession – the Kinder Eggs did NOT come with two stuffed animals …. we are stuck in the house here going on a month and well it was me or the kinder eggs…. This cooler has been a want and will be perfect! I do have the new JoAnna Gaines Magnolia Table Cookbook coming for me.

EASTER GIFT IDEAS FOR DOGS:

The kids would be so sad if we forgot the pups, and really getting them some new treats and a toy is needed – or they will go eat ALL the hidden eggs chocolate and ALL! We love the Bark Box toys, and the Charlee Bear snacks they just love!


EASTER BASKET FILLER IDEAS:

If you do an egg hunt DON’T forget to make sure you have eggs ( we have an endless supply) and buy some candy and fillers. I do have to say, its easier if you buy the candy you don’t love haha! I am safe with this lot – unless times get tough …. we will have to see!

I hope this gave you some ideas, keep following along I will be sharing what different traditions we have and some fun Easter crafts!

I think I’m going to do a slime kit as well. Normally I’d say “heck no, it’s too big of a mess,” but it’s Easter and it’s not like I don’t have the time to clean it up 🙂 Thanks for the fun ideas!!

    1. Thats the best part! One time purchase and we can use every year! HAHA right – trying to not gain …not working so great. And right then your puppy wont eat all the eggs

  47. I LOVE those baskets. Such a beautiful way to actually customized them for your little ones. And such practical things kids will actually use. I never liked when I would spend money on a basket but it only had some things my daughter would actually use or just way too much candy. Thanks so much for sharing!

  48. Ok! I’m sending my daughter to you! I love the setup and how you thought ahead with where things would go. Definitely going to try and find the scribble scrubbies 🙂

  53. Thank you for sharing this, especially during this time in the world. I was so worried about not being able to go to the stores and shop and not having extra funds this year with so much uncertainty and youve given me a lot of great ideas! I hope this year Easter reminds all of us that when all Hope seems lost, God arises in a mighty way! Do you have any more auggestions for Easter books for kids? Do you have a favorite childrens devotional or anything like that?

  54. Baskets look amazing!
    I love that you have their names on them, perfect to reuse them after Easter! 😍😍

  55. Thanks for the ideas! Those baskets are adorable! Love that igloo cooler too! How cute! This will be a different Easter for sure but so thankful to celebrate Our Risen Savior with my husband and our three children at home. 💗

  56. I love that the baskets all have their names on them! I can’t wait until I have children and can spoil them with goodies! You’re such an inspiration. 💜

  58. Love it!! I don’t have kids but I try to make a cute basket for my husband for every holidays.

  59. I love the personalized baskets! Thanks for this inspiration! That extra smile on their faces during this tough time is worth it! ❤

  60. Your baskets are so adorable. Love the personal touch of the calligraphy names. Where did you find these..?

  67. I love the books!!! As well as the Elsa bubble bath I gotta add that to my list my girls are 3 & 2 they love everything Frozen.

    1. Yay!! I was sad I got a really cute one in store awhile back and they didnt have online – but anything frozen is a hit right!

  68. Love the baskets they’re super cute and add something special with the personalization. I love how your the whole basket are no solely candy but also fun activities for the kids to enjoy!

    1. Thank you Natalie! My kids love to craft and play so its so perfect for them! I am glad you loved it <3

  69. These are great ideas! I love that you don’t leave out the adults and dogs:). It is encouraging to have something to look forward to in this time.

  70. Your Easter baskets turned out so beautiful! I used to love making those for our Now grown kids. Another fun thing we did is a chocolate egg hunt in the house. We lived up north at that time so it was just so cold often times that we started doing that in the house when they were really little. My husband and I hid them all over the place. It wasn’t uncommon to find one months later that we never found during the hunt! It was so much fun! And when they got older we actually did it a couple of times in the dark with flashlights. I put less candy in their baskets and then we did a number of different kinds of little eggs and sometimes some plastic ones with maybe money in it and then they each had a certain color egg that was theirs.

    1. Awe! It goes so fast right… there are many times we have to do inside here… my kids love the money in eggs!! And thats the best when you find them later!

  71. Great Waster basket inspiration! It’s been a struggle this year without being able to do it in store.

    1. Thank you so much!! If my kids shopped for them it would have been a lot more – good thing I had to do online!

  72. It’s so hard to be excited about Easter this year, knowing we can’t go to church or get together with family like we normally do, but I really do need to get some things for my children!

  73. Love how you included personalized items for each of your kids! If I would’ve received an Easter basket like this as a child I would’ve felt so special ❤️

  74. Love the cute baskets and cute liners. Also the ideas of what you put inside is helpful to us who draw blanks on what to do. Especially right now unable to shop around. Thank you.

    1. Awe I am glad you were able to get some ideas, its so hard when we cant roam the stores… and online can be daunting. Thank you <3

  75. These are the cutest baskets ever! I love that they have each child’s name on them. ❤️

    1. Thanks! We cant forget about us – is it bad I still want one from my parents haha so i make my own
