Easter Baskets

I am on the hunt for Aubrey's first Easter basket.  I am trying to decide if I want to do a white wicker basket with a cute liner in it with her name monogrammed on it, and that way I can use the same basket each year. Or should I do a different basket each year?  I am looking at Etsy and they have some cute options. 

What kind of things should I put in it?  She will be almost 6 months old at Easter.  I found this really cute monogrammed sippy cup so I know that will go in it.  I'll probably get her a cute board book.  I have several stuffed bunnies already since her room is done in bunnies and lambs so I probably won't do that.  What are some other ideas?  What are ya'll putting in your LO's baskets?

  • We got this one last year...and I only put eggs in it to take to the family egg hunt.

    I like this one they have this year though:

    This year I am getting her the Baby Alive first baby and some little things.  She got a million books from my mom for her birthday, so I am not getting her any more for now.  I also picked up this little stuffed Hello Kitty sitting in an egg at Target yesterday.  They always have the best stuff to put in baskets and stockings.

  • I definately think you should get a basket you can use every year.

     This may sound crazy, but I still get an easter basket (DH and I get a combo basket) and I still get it in the one I got for my first Easter.  It means a lot to me.

  • We got a basket with his name painted on one side and animals on the other that we use in his room, and it will double as his Easter basket.  I tried searching for one like it but no luck.  I would buy a basket she could use year after year.

    ETA: This is what is going in his basket:

    Chuck mini Tonka trucks
    Books
    Ball
    Foam bath letters
    Snacks
    Bible

  • A lot of the kids I know in Tuscaloosa have the same kind of personalized baskets. I'm thinking about getting DD one of these, something she can use every year from here on out:

     
    We also got this duck "basket" as a present at a baby shower, but I really like the idea of getting her a personalized basket ourselves and her using the same one every year.

  • I love easter baskets!

    At lunch I got a sweet little stuffed lamb for Abby's basket. I'm also going to put a book and a bath toy in it.

  • We normally get a new one every year. I try not to spend too much on the basket.

    For Lyla's I am getting: Disney DVD, baby doll, a book, and a little candy.

    For Taylor's I am getting: Flip flops, DS game, magazine, and a little candy.

    I used to load up Taylor's basket with candy and junk. This year we are trying to steer clear of that and buy real stuff that they might use.

  • Lindsey...is it just me or is this age Taylor and Nate (and Hayley) are at tough?! I'm so sad he is growing up. I was looking at Easter stuff today and all of the cute stuff I used to get him just doesn't cut it anymore. :o(

    .....maybe it's just me though..lol. I've been kinda emotional about it lately. Seems like yesterday I was buying elmo underwear and now its deodorant and men's size shoes. :o(

    CUTE CUTE CUTE list!

  • Doodles on Wall Triana has the painted baskets in a variety of sizes if you want to see them in person....
  • I went to Target this afternoon and while I was there I was browsing and I found the Peter Cottontail book and when you open it it plays the tune and you can read/or sing the words along with the tune...I got it because I knew Aubrey would love it!  So that's one thing down lol. 
  • We're getting Payton a lined basket and mini Abby baby from Pottery Barn Kids.
  • There is a store here that sells hand painted baskets.  I'm going to check those out this weekend.  I'm trying to find one that will last for a few years.

    I know I want a stuffed rabbit, maybe some soft blocks or other toy.  I was thinking I would like a kids book about the true meaning of Easter, but I don't know how you would explain nailing people to crosses and coming back from the dead in a baby book.

    FYI:  I got my BFP on Good Friday so Easter is the new Christmas in our house.  We're going all out.
