What makes up the perfect Easter basket? Funny you should ask! I outlined the makings of a perfect Easter basket for Michael just last night. I am not sure the Easter Bunny was as kind to him as a child as he was to me! :)
*Of course you have to have a basket. My Mom let us pick out a basket when we were little, and we used that same basket year after year. We would always set it out the night before for the Easter Bunny to leave goodies in!
*You have to have that ugly green grass that gets everywhere and constantly falls out of your basket during an egg hunt!
*An Easter related stuffed animal is a must-a cute bunny, lamb, or chick-maybe even as Easter pig!
*You also need a chocolate bunny!
*At least two Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs. My personal favorite!
*Don't forget the Cadbury Creme Eggs! A minimum of two is required!
*Add Robin's Eggs to your list!
*You also have to have Peeps whether you like them or not!
*A random assortment of jelly beans.
*Finish your basket off with a few of your recipients favorite things like a lip gloss, pencils, and erasers or toy cars and Spiderman stickers or airplane bottle of liquor (for the adults only).
*You can also add a Happy Easter note signed by the Easter Bunny (complete with paw print). My mother was excellent at drawing the Easter Bunny's paw print-I mean capturing the Easter Bunny's paw print as he hopped away!
Just in case I don't get to blog before Easter, I hope all of you have a very Happy Easter! I also hope that the Easter Bunny is extra good to you!

You just described my childhood Easter basket perfectly (minus the toy cars, spiderman stickers & alcohol of course!). :)
This post has me ansy with excitement! Easter needs to be here already!!!
:D
I think our mom's think alike!
Easter morning I woke to something very similar to what you are describing - def wouldn't trade it for a toy ... thats christmas. Easter is about the basket and the bunny!! ;)
an easter basket isn't an easter basket without peeps :) cute post!
I love the Easter bunny. :) And I really, really love CADBURRY EGGS!
Happy Easter!
Oh my goodness. I love the peanut butter Reese's eggs (had one today at the office), Whoppers Robins Eggs are the best and should be made year round, and I'm a complete sucker for the black jelly beans!!! HAPPY EASTER TO YOU!!! XOXO
Our moms must have talked all the time. We always had the same thing in them. I loved mine and looked forward to them. I am so excited about the boys, well I mean Trey's. Noah has no idea what is even going on, but the Easter Bunny is bringing him one. Hope that you have a wonderful Easter.
Aw, I miss Easter baskets! My mom stopped them a while back, but still put candy "nests" around the house until the dog started eating them. We all still look when we go home!
Reeses eggs are my absolute fav. also and I love the little story about the paw print!! Adorable!!
I hope you have a good Easter also!!
Yay Peeps!!! Not gonna lie but the very first thing that drew me to your blog was how the photo in your left column reminded me of them!!
Haha! You will make one FANTASTIC mom one day with all those goodies in one basket!!!!
How fun! I love Easter!
We used to get baskets, too. Very similar to yours!
I am obsessed with PEEPS!!!!
My almost 23 year old and almos 19 year old are still visited by the Easter Bunny too. They were also visited at the ages of 20 and 18 by the Tooth Fairy when they had their wisdom teeth out. AND they definitely believe in Santa Claus. The rule in our house is that when you stop believing, they stop coming. I think my kids are going to believe FOREVER!
This is exactly what an Easter basket should look like. I can't wait to get the one my Grandma gives me every year. My mom is one of those that gives the Easter gift. Best of both worlds!
I agree that you need a basket! This was exactly what ours was like (minus the peeps, I have an aversion to marshmallows unless they are in hot cocoa or rice krispie treats!)
We always got stuff for Easter too...I loved Easter baskets! They are so fun. :)
I miss easter baskets! For me it's all about the Cadberry eggs! Thank you so much for your sweet comment about my bday- I'm still brainstorming fun ideas, any suggestions?
I loveee that you told your husband about the perfect Easter basket, I kindly told my husband too! My Easter baskets growing up were just like yours! So fun - hope you enjoy yours this year!!
I tagged you!
This really is the makings of a perfect Easter basket. I could live with just Cadbury Creme Eggs and Peeps!
I'd be more than ok with a whole basket full of just Cadbury creme & caramel eggs.
