I think I just need to clear the air and say it: Easter has the best candy. I mean, how can you compete with Reese’s eggs (slightly better than the trees and obvi better than the originals), Cadbury mini eggs (also better than the Christmas version), and Starburst Easter jelly beans?! You can’t compete. They’re too good on their own, and then the three of them together take on this taste trifecta that outdoes every other holiday. It’s facts!
Easter candy aside (but not forgotten in your baskets), here are a few ideas for you. I’ll leave a couple anecdotes on the items I know to be hits at our house!
Little Sleepies pajamas $32 I first got these for my kids a couple years ago and they still wear them to this day! They are SO SOFT and the stretch allows the pajamas to grow with them.
Bedtime Devotions with Jesus $17 We got this book as a hand-me-down and have loved reading a page a night with our oldest.
Baby’s First Book of Prayers $5 Our kids all loved this book!
Plug-in Bubble Machine $34 You’ll thank yourself all summer long when you’re not constantly changing batteries.
Popsicle holders $5 We use these with popsicles and frozen Go-Gurt and they are so handy!
Washable paint $14 Our youngest paints a coloring book page at least once a week using these. Guaranteed minutes of busy time.
Little Blue Truck Springtime $6 ON SALE! This is one of my favorite book series for kids of all time. We already have this one, so Grace is getting the bedtime one.
Pretend Kitchen Sink $35 Is the water mess worth the hours Grace plays this nearly every day since Christmas? Yes, yes it is.
Totally agree on Easter candy being the best! The Reese’s eggs are hands down the best. Great ideas for Easter baskets. I always get my kids a new pair of flip flops and this year also included a new water bottle. Easter is a great time to make sure you have a new pair of sandals for the summer and we seem to never have too many water bottles at our house.
For sure! Summer sandals are always a good idea! And seriously, where do all their water bottles go?!
