ONE: I want to get a neat basket and liner for her (probably from Pottery Barn Kids) but nothing stood out to me this year, so I am going to wait until next year or the year after.. maybe try to get something on sale! So when I saw this little and much cheaper basket on Target's website I couldn't resist. She can use it in years to come to collect her eggs on her egg hunt, so it won't go to waste.
TWO: My sister has a tradition of the Easter bunny giving each of her children a new and different bunny each year in their basket. I love this idea! I definitely wanted to start this tradition for Hazel too. I searched around for something cute that I thought she would love, and found this little ballerina bunny in the most gorgeous pale lilac. It comes in cream and pink too!
THREE: Hazel is into books right now. She loves to sit on her daddy's lap and help him turn the pages. She has just started lifting flaps and peeking underneath (weirdly enough some pages she will always skip, and does not want you to open the flap at all costs). Two of her favorites are "Where is Baby's Belly Button" and "Where is Baby's Pumpkin" so I know the Easter version will be a hit!
FOUR: Her other favorite books right now are the touch and feel ones. It is so sweet to see her reach her chubby little fingers out and feel the different furs and textures. I hope she will like this Easter themed one! And I love books as a gift since they can definitely be used and reused each year (and all year long too... we are still reading Halloween and Thanksgiving books right now!).
I'd love to hear everyone's fun finds for their littles' baskets!
And just for fun, here is my bunny baby!
I love this - I just did a first Easter basket post too! Hard to believe it's already their first-last holiday, where does the time go??
ReplyDeleteYes I saw your post! That bathing suit.. seriously! And the anywhere chair, I'm with ya.. we are asking H's grandparents for that for her birthday :) And you found such a cute basket on Pottery Barn.. I didn't see that one! The time.. it just goes too fast. G and I were looking at H's newborn pictures last night and we honestly can't remember her looking that that. It just goes so fast.
DeleteCheck out Etsy for Easter baskets! I couldn't find one I loved at the usual retailers, so I tried there. I ended up getting a really cute (but small) basket that was relatively inexpensive.
ReplyDeletePat the Bunny is a great basket stuffer too - especially is she likes the touch and feel books!
Pat the Bunny was one of my fave's when I was a kid.. what a great idea! What shop did you buy from on Etsy?
