Easter's peeking around the corner, and we've got a nifty little twist for those dusty baskets you only see once a year. Why not sprinkle in a bit of fun and function among the jelly beans and chocolate bunnies? Ditch the basket and try one of these alternatives whose usefulness extends well beyond one day.
Ready to swap, shop, and roll into a whimsical - yet practical - Easter?
Here are 4 practical replacements for your Easter baskets:
1. A pool float
Hear us out - warmer temps are on the way and what better way to prep your kiddo(s) than with an Easter-themed pool float packed with summer fun?
2. The “college” crate
Yes, you know the one. That multi-purpose crate we all own but never quite know where it came from. Repurpose it for the sports-lovin’ kiddo in your fam this Easter, like this pickleball crate CityMom Jeanine prepped for her teen!
3. A cosmetics case
Every budding teenage queen needs their own cosmetics case (or Caboodle or make-up kit or train case or…). Call it what you will - these versatile boxes make the perfect Easter basket alternative.

4. The perfect pot
Is there anything more “spring” than planting something green? A cute pot packed with gardening goodies, and a few sweet treats, is both fun and functional.
And the ideas don’t stop there…for your “digger” obsessed toddler, fill the back of a dump truck with treats and sandbox toys. Or how about your future college freshmen? Load up this classic shower caddy with all of the essentials!
