Annie says
Great ideas! This will be our little boy’s first Easter so we probably won’t do anything too extravagant but now I have lots of ideas for next year 😀
Donna Wilkes says
Great list! I once used a vintage hubcap for my car-crazed nephew’s Easter basket. I also always give my niece fancy panties in plastic eggs in her basket. We started this when she was two as a joke, but even now at 25 she expects them!
Noreen says
How fun!
betsy says
Thank you for the wonderful ideas. I have grandchildren and adults that I would like to give an Easter gift to and lots of ideas to be had here.
