WHAT'S IN OUR KIDS' EASTER BASKETS! | MINIMALIST GIFT IDEAS 2023

This year your Easter is April 9th. Our Greek Orthodox Easter is on April 16th. Our Easter is steeped in many traditions. As a Godparent you buy your godchild a new pair of shoes, a tall decorated candle that you bring to church to light and leave there as well as a sweet braided bread. That is done usually until they are 16 years old. Our fasting is omitting meat and dairy for at least the last Holy Week. Many will do it for 40 days. We break our fast Saturday at midnight when Christ has risen.

We do baskets and both my husband and I give baskets. We do money in the plastic egg hunt because where we live all the candy would melt outside. So my kids get lots of treats in their baskets. We give something religious, usually some beach / water item. Like pol shoes or bathing suits and a few gifts. We also wrap our gifts in our basket. That seems to be unique

Julie I love what you got your Children for there Easter 🐣 🐰Baskets God bless much love Cathy 🙏🏻✝️☮️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🐣🐰🍀🌺💚🌿💐💜

Hey Julie, I love you showing us what you got your kids for their Easter baskets. Im sure they will love everything. ❤️

I feel like I’m the only one that does need gifts for Easter baskets lol. New shoes and swim suits

Awesome basket ideas!! Love the pink dress

Great ideas Julie!🐰🙏🐰 Loooove your hair in the bun.....Soo Pretty!😍

I love those dresses and the shirts match so well. We do bubbles, some candy, and some art supplies.

We do Easter pajamas, chocolate bunnies/crosses and other Easter specialty candy, a plush bunny, and a mid-range price toy. That’s usually enough to fill their baskets.

What great basket ideas! I LOVE the writing tablet idea. Might have to steal that when our little guy is older! He is 3.5 this year and my wife and I are so excited because this is the first year we've decided to actually do an Easter egg hunt for him. He's really into cars and construction vehicles right now, so we got him a box of car shaped chocolates, a construction vehicles Water Wow pad for long drives or bored afternoons, a big egg with a put together dump truck in, and a bird book he wants. And of course some little chocolate eggs so he can put them in his basket as he finds them ^^

Loved the outfits! Thanks for sharing!

For long drives (which is most of our life), we have a grab and go activity bag.

Those drawing tablets look amazing for car rides! Those are definitely going in our baskets!! 💜

We got one of those erasable tablets for our oldest for her birthday and now my youngest one is getting one in her Easter basket because they both love it.

I love the writing tablets! Perfect for the little ones when we mama’s need to run errands! ❤

We always had books and visited the library, but personally I am so glad I never woke up Easter and found a book in my Easter basket. Books were every day for us.

Great ideas!

Great ideas! I loved everything. We only do an Easter egg hunt with candy and I make little coupons for getting ice cream or going some place special(beach, favorite park) and put those inside the eggs as well. I also found a printable this year for a resurrection scavenger hunt.

Such fun ideas! My youngest got a tablet like that for Christmas, and loves using it for her spelling lists.

So happy you went with my recommendation for Enid Blyton! I hope the boys love their book! For Zara, there are series like naughty Amelia Jane and when a bit older, folk of the faraway tree and the adventures of the wishing chair. Loved the outfits, you always find such lovely clothes-I’m sure they will love their baskets this year. 😊
