I've said it before and I'll say it again: I still do Easter baskets for my kids. And they aren't exactly kids anymore. My son is 24 and my daughter is 19. But I enjoy putting baskets together for them and they appreciate the baskets--so I might keep doing it until I'm bedridden.
Oh gosh, I hope I'm never bedridden.
Dang.
ANYHOW.
If you're like me and also do baskets for older people, I have suggestions. And this doesn't include candy, because different candy is a given. Unless you're one of those households who do not do candy. I cannot relate though. We cannot go without Cadbury Cream Eggs.
Onto the basket goodies.
Natalie plays guitar, so I had to get this guitar Bum Bumz. It's from the show Friends, which she also appreciates. Bum Bumz has many adorable options for under $10.
Okay, yes, maybe a face mask is odd, but the flu is going around and I just read that there could be another Covid variant, so yes, I will still wear masks sometimes. Makana Masks are incredibly comfortable and hey, I haven't gotten sick *knocks on wood*
I found these at Target, and I thought they were adorable. Life can be crazy, and these would be cute to have displayed nearby. Who doesn't love chocolate?
Hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works are an affordable choice. As I mentioned above, there are germs going around, so these are nice to have.
Fugglers are popular, and now you can get a Baby Fuggler, PLUS a car seat that attaches to a car vent. My daughter has him (he's named Gus) in her vehicle and he's an adorable companion.
Okay, so this Gilmore Girls sunshade is bigger than a basket, but it can go beside it. It's perfect for Gilmore Girls fans and under $20 at Boxlunch.
Apparently Nee-Doh is all the rage these days thanks to social media. We always had a few in the house--they are fun to squeeze and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. If you're stressed, grab the Nee-Doh. If you're mad, chuck the Nee-Doh. Kidding. (Kinda.) But I was lucky to find the egg after they were put on the shelf. If you manage to find one, you might be a hero. I just grabbed one by the way. All the resellers, I hope both sides of your pillow are forever warm. Shame on you.
I hope you were able to find some ideas and if not, well, just stick to the chocolate bunny I guess. I can never say no to a chocolate bunny. (Or, as mentioned before, a Cadbury Cream Egg. Or PEEPS.)

Great ideas! The masks are actually genius and I have to find those Dippin' Dazzler Eggs for myself because they look so fun.
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! I also enjoy making baskets for my kids, and it's fun to find new things as they get older.
ReplyDeleteThis post is such a fun and realistic take on Easter gifting for twenty-somethings. It really captures that balance between playful tradition and more grown-up, practical choices. I love how you mix classic ideas like candy with things that actually match their interests and lifestyles, since at that age gifts feel more meaningful when they’re personal and usable . It’s a refreshing reminder that even as we get older, a thoughtfully curated Easter surprise can still spark a little joy and nostalgia. Jerry www.fourcolumnsofabalancedlife.com
ReplyDeleteLoving the different suggestions for Easter gifts included. I do love the idea of the emotional support Easter bunnies, those are adorable and something my kids would simply adore!!!! Such a lovely chocolate alternative and a cute option.
ReplyDeleteI don't prepare Easter baskets; I just give Easter chocolates! But I would definitely love to receive that Gilmore Girls windshield sunshade!
ReplyDeleteI love that you still make Easter baskets for your kids. Even though mine are older and have kids of their own, I still put together something small for them too. These are such great Easter gift ideas, especially the mask. Just because they’re grown doesn’t mean we can’t still make it special. I actually picked up a few cute journals the other day to add to my girls’ baskets.
ReplyDeleteChocolate bunnies are my favorite! We think the yough is tough these days, but not at all. They need even more love then before, so those bunnies are just perfect for that!
ReplyDeleteThese are fun ideas for Easter with young adult children! I personally loved any excuse for a care package when I was in college
