If you’re hosting the Easter festivities this year, the last thing you need to worry about is filling rattan baskets with goodies for your guests. It may seem easy—just throw a bunch of candy in and hope the handle doesn’t break under all that weight—but curating an Easter basket is a challenge unlike any other because you have a lot of people to shop for, from the babies to the grandparents. Instead of getting stuck with empty candy aisles on Good Friday, think ahead and save yourself the trouble by opting for a pre-made Easter basket.
When it comes to selecting which ones to purchase, we have a few ideas that may fall on the non-traditional side of the spectrum. Let’s face it: not everyone has a sweet tooth and will want to leave the party with several pounds of bunny-shaped chocolate and gummy flowers. That's why we included pre-made Easter baskets filled with other types of treats, like baked goods or spa essentials. Rest assured though, there are still classic options chock-full of candy. Pastel colors are always a safe bet, and you can even monogram the basket liner for an extra personal touch. For those who don't want to go the traditional route with woven baskets, go for a gift box or reusable tote to hold the goodies instead.
