Ideas for Goodies to Fill Easter Baskets

Easter is fast approaching, and you have several Easter baskets to fill. What you place on the bright grass inside the container will depend on the ages, preferences, and personalities of the recipients. Following are several ideas for specific age groups and sexes. The task will not seem like such a challenge if you follow these tips and suggestions from our home builders in Wilmington NC:

Infants

Face it, infants will have no idea what is going on, so you pretty much have free reign on what to buy. Colorful pacifiers, bottles, bright swim diapers, simple onesies, and sweet outfits are all excellent choices for these oblivious babies. Tuck in some coupons and gift cards for diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials.

Toddlers

You may want to stay away from candy for these little folks, as they are very messy! Purchase small toys and stuffed animals instead with maybe just a few jellybeans for good measure. Animal crackers, fruit snacks, and very small amounts of Easter candy are all good choices for this age group. A bucket with a shovel makes a great Easter basket for these youngsters. It can be re-used later in that sandbox in the backyard of your beautiful residence built by the home builders in Wilmington NC.

School-Age Children

Now this is the group that thrives on the sweet stuff. Licorice, chocolate, sour candy, and lollipops are all great fillers. Add other items such as coloring books, crayons, small games, balls, and sports items such as swim goggles and flippers (summer is almost here after all). A unique lunch box or bag with a modern motif such as Star Wars. Batman, Wonder Woman, or Barbie makes the perfect receptacle for all of these goodies.

Tweens and Teens

Girls will love lip gloss, while guys will feel so mature with small bottles of cologne and sports socks. Colorful flip-flops, swim shoes, sunscreen, and scented lotions for both sexes will make the grade. A makeup bag or organizer is the perfect basket for girls and a travel bag for boys works equally well.

College-Age

Yes, even college-aged children will look forward to getting a basket from friends, parents, or grandparents. Instead of a basket, place the gifts in a canvas container or even a small satchel that they can use over and over again.

If you own a home built by Trusst home builders in Wilmington NC, you are sure to have a beautiful yard to hold your Easter egg hunts on. Have extra baskets of goodies to pass out as prizes for kids who find the golden eggs.
