You Can Craft This Cute Easter Basket Using Old Grocery Bags

When it comes to holiday decorations, Easter is one of our favorites to prep for. So when we set out on finding the best Easter basket ideas that were equal parts festive, stylish, and, of course, on-theme, we were hardly surprised to discover nearly 50 good options. The best part? You can make most of them yourself using not much more than the materials you probably already have. Otherwise, if you're in a time crunch, you can buy them pre-assembled. Luckily, we’ve included both.

Ahead, you’ll find more than 40 House Beautiful-approved baskets—some of which you may want to use well past April. Some, we’ll admit, may technically skew more kid-friendly than something the adults will be toting around, but that doesn’t mean you can’t snag one or two for your Easter soirée. For instance, one of our top picks works for little and adult guests alike. It’s a classic wicker basket wrapped in pastel-hued fabrics from LoveShackFancy. It doesn’t get more stylish than that. Here’s the thing, though: If you’re putting time and money into your pick, you may as well maximize its use, so we’re answering the Internet’s most common questions regarding all things Easter baskets.

What do you put in an Easter basket?

Traditionally, you would fill an Easter basket with candy that’s wrapped in pastel packaging. Otherwise, you’ve probably seen egg- or bunny-shaped chocolates at your local grocery store leading up to Easter.

What can I put in my Easter basket instead of candy?

If you want to keep Easter healthy, you can opt out of the candy program. In this case, we like to treat Easter baskets like Christmas stockings and fill them with small gifts and goodies. Think along the lines of a playful deck of cards, a nail polish set, miniature candles, and more.

So start gearing up for your festive fête with these adorable Easter basket ideas because spring is certainly in the air!
