Easter Baskets

Where did you get your twins' Easter baskets? The place I wanted to get them from is all sold out of the fabric liners that I liked, so I'm not sure where to get them from now. I want to do monogrammed ones as well.

Also, what did you put in their Easter baskets their first year? Did you get them anything else besides their baskets?

 

I haven't gotten the baskets yet. But I found some I like. I'll probably put some baby friendly 'candy' in them such as dried fruits, mum mums and some little toys.

 

I got baskets at our local Michael's. They are lined, but not monogrammed. For their first Easter, they were a little over 3 months old, and they each got a small stuffed rabbit, a rattle, and a Baby's First Easter book. This year (at almost 16 months) they are each getting an Elmo video, a book, and some Gerber snacks. I'm going light on the basket because they will get one from my parents, DH's mom, DH's dad, and their great-grandma, so I don't want them to be overwhelmed with stuff. Thank goodness I have a good excuse for limiting candy (soy intolerance), because my MIL loves to buy candy!!

 

Oh SOOO glad someone asked this! I can't find baskets I like. I do have someone who can do the monograming but I need to find the baskets first. Mine will get a 1st easter book, they will get their first bibles, my mom is crocheting them bunnies and maybe a rattle or something.

 

I found some really cute bunny jammies last year that I put in their baskets, along with some rabbit ears. Some new soothers and a little book and a stuffed animal. This year we're not doing baskets, but we are going to do an easter egg hunt with some of the neighbor kids!

 

I got mine at Pottery Barn Kids. They have them in the store buy if you order them onlie, you can get them monogrammed. I think they're now on sale!

 

I've gotten all of mine at Target. I like the monogrammed idea. Never thought of that! They are half off at Pottery Barn Kids!

For the first year...My boys were seven months almost... so I got them some gerber puffs, a stuffed animal, and probably some other little sncak type food. Pretty basic and simple!

 

We have a small house so I stopped doing things like cute baskets because afterwards I don't know what to do with them. I am such a loser but we have a very small house lol...so I just use a basket or container I have and put a colorful new fun bath towel in there as the liner and then a few things. They mostly are excited about the cheap plastic eggs...so excited to participate in an easter egg hunt this year.

 

I want to get some cute matching baskets for the kids but haven't found any I really like yet either We have a really small house but were lucky my IL's let us store stuff in their basement.

The twins are so little this year but I'm sure they'll like picking through a basket. I'm planning on getting the girls each a baby toothbrush, baby food, and some MumMums. I got them each a stuffed animal too.

I forgot to add the kids all have a basket and then we have a family basket. The family basket has all the candy. Each of the kids get a chocolate bar or bunny in their basket but the rest is in the family basket. This way we don't have the fighting hey that's my candy type of thing. Since the twins are little they'll have snacks in their basket but next year it will be just like the big kids.

 

toothbrush is a great idea.

 

I usually do toothbrushes for all the kids each year. This year they go the dentist a week after Easter and will get a new brush then so I'll skip the ones for the basket this year. I also give toothbrushes in Christmas stockings too.

 

Little tikes has a few easter themed toys that they put out around easter like "little people" and the like. We bought a few of those, and a beach ball for each baby. We also got them sunglasses and hats and their bathing suits for summer. Then we put in a container of those little puffs.
