A Tisket, A Tasket, A Grown Up Easter Basket

It is probably childish of me, but I love an Easter basket. I really miss getting them, even though my mom made them for me until I was probably way too old...I was in college when I got my last Easter basket (don't worry I didn't have any illusions about the bunny still...). I have no shame though. There is something about digging through and finding all of the little treasures hidden inside. It may not come as a surprise to you that my favorite part of Christmas is the stocking. I just love a little collection of treasures and gifties!

Now, I love a traditional basket, but if we are having fun here then let's get a little fancy. Here are some of my favorite finds for a grown up girl's Easter basket:

After finding the perfect basket it is time to fill it up!

An Easter basket definitely needs some candy. Here are some of my favorite Easter treats:

Robin's Eggs

Bubble Gum Easter Eggs (a childhood classic...they must be in the little egg carton)

Oh nom, nom. Now that I am drooling I will stop with the candy pictures. 

One of the best things about my mom's Easter baskets was that they included more than just candy. Just like a good stocking they included fun little gifts and trinkets too. Here are some of my favorite goodies:

Any other Easter basket lovers out there? Hopefully the Easter bunny is kind to you this year!
