As I mentioned before we don't use the Easter bunny as part of our celebration. However, like Christmas stockings I haven't give up Easter baskets for the kids either. It can be difficult to avoid the Easter bunny paraphernalia when looking to fill them. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on candy and little trinkets that would quickly lost and broken. Plus, I know they'll be getting candy at church during the Resurrection Egg Hunt.
We found our filled baskets on Etsy from Green Mountain Wee Woolies. The girls will be able to use their baskets from year to year and they each have a few simple, lovely items in their baskets. The contents shown are from Marissa's basket and the other picture is of wool covered soaps that I also got to add to their baskets. Each girls basket is different in color and the contents are slightly different. (I feel I need to say that the seller was wonderful and did a custom baby friendly basket for Madison and each of the girls' baskets had something extra stuck in that wasn't part of the sale.)
Christianity Today has an article with ideas for a Christian themed Easter basket at the bottom of this article. We didn't go for strictly Christian themed baskets. I'm okay with gift giving being a part of the whole celebration and don't feel that the gifts need to necessarily have a spiritual significance.
