Aside from Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies and other treats, baskets are among the most popular items to fill up on during this season. Retailers know it, too, and that’s why they have been teasing us with early Easter ads for months now. The basket’s popularity is also likely a result of the fact that it can be filled with just about anything from gifts to personal accessories.
While there’s nothing wrong with traditional plastic large easter baskets or wicker options, we’ve rounded up a few nontraditional picks that will impress the kiddos (or anyone else you plan to gift them to). From DIY repurposed buckets to unique paper picks, here are a few ideas for a stand-out Easter basket this year.
A few colorful tassels are enough to make this repurposed container feel fresh and new. Choose pastel colors that match the Easter theme, or go with your child’s favorite hue or even their school or sports-team colors. The best part is that the basket doubles as a toy receptacle later on.
