30 Best Easter Basket Ideas for a Baby

Easter is coming right up, so it’s time to get cracking (egg pun intended) if you’re thinking about doing Baby’s First Easter Basket.

The only things your little lamb probably needs are a bulk box of wipes, a bunny ears headband from the dollar store and some plastic eggs filled with Puffs, but you can bet Grandma’s already hopping off to fill baby a basket. Before Grandpa starts sneaking Junior Cadbury Cream Eggs in the shadow of a Toyota-sized rabbit, why not send the family on an Easter gift hunt for items baby (and you) will really love?
