When I was a child, my mom always put together imaginative, carefully curated Easter baskets for my brother and me—every year, without fail. Though the idea of an Easter basket can sometimes feel clichéd, hers never did. Each one was filled with things we truly loved. My basket often included my favorite perfume, a cute item for my room, my preferred candies, a fun pair of sunglasses, and other little treasures.
This year I wanted to recreate that feeling for adults (and teens who appreciate thoughtful gifts) by assembling complete Easter baskets at three different price points. Each option includes a suggested basket and all the items to fill it, making it easy to assemble a polished, personalized gift. Below are three curated sets—budget-friendly, mid-range, and luxe—each designed to delight without unnecessary fuss.
Under $60 Easter Basket
This option proves a thoughtful, stylish Easter basket doesn’t need to be expensive. Everything listed here—the basket and the contents—comes in under $60. A few simple DIYs are included to stretch the budget while still offering a handmade, personal touch.
1. DIY dip-dyed woven basket: an affordable and customizable container ($6).
2. Neutrals collection nail polish: a subtle, wearable shade to brighten the season ($5).
3. Stone fruit bowl: a small decorative dish for trinkets or snacks ($15).
