Every year since my son was little, I’ve sworn that I was going to cut back on the amount of money I spend on Easter. Every year, I go over budget. It’s not like I’m giving him new gaming systems or even spending a ton on candy. It’s just that the little things really add up. Take the Easter basket itself, for example! I feel like I spend more on that than I do on what goes into them! Then, once Easter is over, they end up forgotten in my garage for all eternity. That’s not going to happen with these Easter basket ideas!

Many of these Easter basket ideas below are cute enough to use after the holiday. Others are edible, so there’s nothing to store!
