Creative Easter Gift Basket Ideas, Full Steam Ahead

I love me some homemade gifts. I love giving them, I love getting them.

And I really love gift baskets for a few reasons. 

First is that they are easy. Sometimes, I don’t have a lot of time to make a gift from scratch. A gift basket lets me pull together something really personal, without needing to spend a lot of time.

Second, you can customize these to your friend or family member’s taste. I love how they can be so personal.

I also love that you can be creative in your choices. There are so many fun places to shop and find all kinds of small goodies that come together to create a wonderfully personal gift.

And for Easter, sometimes we focus so much on the kids, it’s nice to branch out and give a gift to the grown-ups – whether that’s a family gift for everyone to enjoy, one for the mamas, or maybe just to bless a special friend or family member.

What to Include in a DIY Gift Basket

Today I’m going to share 45 gift baskets you can make that you can give for Easter. While they are not specifically ‘Easter baskets’ in the traditional sense, any one of these are ‘generic’ enough that you can give them for Easter without worry!

Let’s look at some tips for how to create them.

1| Container

You don’t have to just use a basket! You can use crates, buckets, tins, trays, or even something useful that’s part of the gift (a colander, for instance, if you’re giving a dinner gift basket, or a planter, if you’re giving a garden-themed gift).

Think through what you might be filling the basket with and let that dictate the type and size of the container you get. You really can use basket from thrift stores or yard sales, especially for something more unique choices!

2| Filler

Don’t feel obligated to fill the basket from top to bottom with gifts. You can use some shredded confetti, crunched newspaper, or any kind of fill to cover the bottom and then add your gifts on top, similar to what you might do for an Easter basket.

3| Gifts

There’s no right or wrong way to do this. There’s no magic number. My only recommendation is to find items the recipient would like. No need to ‘fill just to fill.’

You want to try to cover as much real estate as you can, so your gifts don’t look miniature in your basket. But think about meaningful gifts to include. Brainstorm ahead of time!

4| Bulk Gifts

If you have more than one friend or family you are creating gift baskets for, it may help to buy items in bulk and then divvy them among your baskets.

That definitely can be a cost-effective measure!

5| Gift Tags
