Easter is one of my favorite religious holidays but it’s also a lot of fun for the kids! I remember hunting for eggs when I was young and filling my Easter basket full of real hard-boiled, painted eggs. Now it seems like the most popular eggs to find are the plastic ones filled with goodies… my how time has changed! Whether you do an egg hunt or fill up Easter baskets with candy and gifts for your kids or grandkids, all of those little things can add up. This year I thought I’d put together some ideas for creating the perfect girl’s Easter basket featuring some of our brand new Hello Kitty items, available at a great price from Good Buys All the Time.
Start with the basket – you can find a sturdy one at your local dollar store that should do the trick, or check out our selection of adorable Hello Kitty buckets - coming soon!
Next, find your “filler” – for a Hello Kitty theme I suggest some pink Easter grass, but any color will do.
Now’s the fun part – pick your candy and treats! Hello Kitty is great because there are so many themed items for various ages. I like to do one “big” item and then add a bunch of little items to fill things up. For little girls, these pajama sets are perfect (and mom will thank you too)! I don’t go through the trouble of gift-wrapping anything; clothing can be rolled tightly so it doesn't take up much space.
If you’re doing multiple baskets, save by purchasing multi-packs of lip-gloss, body lotion or gummies! You can divide them among your baskets by style, scent or color. We also have a great Hello Kitty hair kit and the best prices on Hello Kitty gummy vitamins. With all of the candy kids get nowadays, the vitamins are a cute substitute.
For the crafty girls in your family, consider adding some pencils, notepads or art supplies. I love this school supplies set that includes all of the above! Again, if you’re making more than one basket this is a great kit to break apart. The fruit snacks can also be divided up among your baskets. And kids LOVE fruit snacks!
When you’re done stocking up on goodies, simply arrange your baskets any way you like. I love the look of this basket (courtesy of Pinterest)! For more great ideas and good buys, be sure to follow us on Facebook, Pin with us on Pinterest and visit our Amazon store, Good Buys All the Time.
