Girl's Easter Baskets

Good Morning Friends and Happy Monday! Can you believe Easter is this weekend? We are going to be in Palm Springs with my in-laws for Easter so I had to be super prepared this year and have the girl's Easter baskets done super early so that I could mail them in time to be there when we get there. I wasn't going to try and carry on three Easter baskets on the airplane, so I figured that would be the easiest thing to do. But anyway, it's good for you because I can show you what I put in their baskets to give you some ideas and I also listed a TON of ideas below (for girls and boys too!).

WHAT'S IN MY GIRL'S EASTER BASKETS!









I always forget how small my daughter's Easter baskets are; they really don't need that much to fill them up. And I feel like no matter what, families always accumulate so much stuff that I don't like to buy too much "junk", because ultimately it will end up in the Goodwill bag. So I think that simple, well thought out choices are the best. Honestly the Target dollar spot is the best thing ever for Easter baskets. That is where I got most of the items I put in my daughter's baskets.

For the 2 older girls (who are ages 5 and 7) I grabbed these cute pillows that you can color on that come with the markers attached, a fluffy (non-injury) bunny slingshot, small LOL's, a ballerina keychain to put on their backpacks, a girly, fun purse, Skittles egg and Peeps on a stick. 

For my youngest daughter (who is 2) I put in the same pillow to color (just a different style), fluffy slingshot, Peeps on a stick, Skittles egg, small LOL, an Easter board book and a little "beauty set". I also got her a purse, but it wasn't here in time for the photos. She wants anything her big sisters have, so I try to get her mostly the same things.
