It's that time of year where I share with you what I have put in Blake's Easter basket. I've done one every year so far you can see his first one here which I did for him when he was three and a half months old and his second one when he was 16 months old is here.
I love putting these baskets together and choosing bits that are perfect for him. The basket I picked up is from poundland and they have such a fab selection this year of bits and bobs.
The basket is a great size and good quality too.
I picked up two twirly woos books when I was in The Works the other day. He loves twirly woos and the books were only £2 each so i thought they would be great to have in his basket.
The Easter story book and the bunny in a carrot are both items that he had in his basket last year and so I've reused again. I picked up some markers from tiger for £1 which are a great size. The plastic eggs come from a pack from poundland which were for of course £1 and I'm going to put some chocolate buttons in.
I saw the ribbon streamer and hook and ducks in poundland too. The ribbon streamer will be great for using this summer when running around the park and the hook and duck set I'm planning to use with him for water play. Last of all is a 4 pack of dinosaur figures also from poundland.
I also plan to pick up a small Easter egg for him other than that the basket is finished and good to go.
Have you done an Easter basket this year?
This is cute! I'm on a budget and trying to think what to get my neices this year, they get so much chocolate! Thanks for the awesome idea! Samantha JL
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea; I love that it's not all about chocolate. I always found it difficult when relatives gave my little ones chocolate for Christmas and Easter. It would last for months after. So much nicer to have a basket of nice things.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely idea, I bet that he loves everything that he gets x
ReplyDeleteA lovely idea - I do this for Sophie as she already gets chocolate from other people :) This year she has got a Peppa Pig Easter Egg Hunt Book & some plastic eggs with little toys in x
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love the ribbon streamer so i need to pop to poundland. We used those dinosaurs in Christmas stockings!
ReplyDeleteAh this looks great! I've put together an Easter basket for Sophie again this year, although it's a bit late! X
ReplyDeleteSome lovely little picks here! I love that hook a duck set, keep seeing whenever I'm in poundland and I've been so tempted to pick it up!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, i've done an Easter Gift Basket for the boys this year as well! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant Easter basket with lots of different things too! Hope you all have a great Easter
ReplyDeletethe dinosaur egg looks fab. I have a basket for my kids but haven't had time to blog about it yet!
ReplyDeleteSo it's a little bit like a Christmas stocking, lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to pop to Poundland tomorrow. Love the look of hook and duck game x
ReplyDeleteI've not had a chance to sort an easter basket out yet, but hopefully will do on Saturday, so these are helpful ideas!
ReplyDeleteI do love the idea of putting together an Easter basket for kids, I hope to implement that too once I have kids. I am sure Blake will love his
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely basket, we normally give ours things other than chocolate
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't but I like this right here. That Easter book must be a good read.
ReplyDeleteCute idea, I love all the little bits and bobs in it. He will love it
ReplyDeleteAw this is really cute - my two say they're too old for this now ha ha
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Our boys (now big) used to get books from family members who live far away as they had enough chocolate to last weeks. Elinor x
ReplyDeleteHow cute and great are these little treat. my daughter loves the Twirlywoos
ReplyDeleteAw an Easter basket is such a cute idea. I like the sound of the Easter book!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. So great for Easter
ReplyDeleteSome cool bits here. Never done an easter basket. We just do easter egg hunt and that's it.
