If you want unusual Easter basket crafts, there are fabric baskets, buckets, terracotta pot baskets and many other kinds.
It can be fun to use an unusual container for a basket. I have seen cowboy and straw hats turned upside down and filled with grass and Easter goodies.
In stores you will see dump trucks, baseball gloves and sand pails used.
For a little girl you could fill a doll cradle, stroller or buggy with doll related items.
