Easter Basket Ideas for All Ages

Pastel colors, chocolate bunnies and brightly dyed eggs are just a few of the things that make Easter such a fun holiday. It wouldn’t be Easter without baskets full of plastic eggs, candy and little toys, though. Depending on who you have on your list, it can be difficult to come up with the right Easter basket stuffers. That’s why we’ve gathered this list of Easter basket ideas for everyone, no matter their age.

Babies 

Easter basket ideas for babies might just be the hardest to come up with. You can’t fill them with all the traditional things like candy and small trinkets and toys, but there are still ways to make those first Easters special for little ones. 

When it comes to babies, it’s a good idea to get a soft, plush Easter basket instead of a woven one. These are safer for infants and will give them a more tactile experience with the basket. With a personalized plush basket, you can also have a cute keepsake that can be held on to for years to remember the baby’s first Easter with. 

Stuffed animals are a great toy to put in a baby’s Easter basket. Any stuffed animal will work, but you can’t go wrong with a plush bunny for the holiday. This will be something the baby can play with, sleep with or have as a personalized decoration in their room.

While babies shouldn’t be given traditional Easter candy, you can still put some special treats in their baskets. Yogurt snacks, applesauce and cereal puffs are perfect sweet treats to help babies celebrate the holiday with you.

Don’t be afraid to include more practical and useful items in a baby Easter basket as well. Pacifiers, teething rings and bottles are wonderful additions to a basket, especially if you can find Easter and spring-themed ones. You can also never go wrong with Easter clothing like hats or shirts. 

Toddlers

Coming up with Easter basket ideas for toddlers is a little easier. They are at an age where they can enjoy more sweets and play with more toys than they could in their infant years. However, it’s still a good idea to go with a soft personalized Easter basket in case it ends up getting thrown around. Having one with a stuffed animal backing will also give them something to play with. 

Toddlers can have more fun with the toys in their baskets, but you want to avoid anything that’s too small and can pose a choking hazard. Wind up bunny toys are an Easter staple and will keep your toddler entertained for hours as they watch it hop around the floor. An Easter flip doll will give toddlers a two-in-one plush toy perfect for Easter storytelling and adventures. 

You want to be careful with what candy you include in your toddler’s basket, staying away from hard candies. However, jelly beans and chocolate are Easter classics that make for good egg and basket stuffers. Put the jelly beans in an Easter treat jar to combine candy and fun. 

Teens

Teenagers may think they’re too cool for Easter baskets, but deep down they still want one. Finding Easter basket ideas for teens that they will enjoy can be hard. You need to find the right balance of fun without being cheesy. You’ll want to go with a more sophisticated wicker Easter basket. This lets you give them a traditional basket without it being something they’ll see as too childish. 

Teens likely aren’t going to want the same toys you gave them as children, such as sidewalk chalk, bubbles and dolls. However, a classic personalized stuffed bunny is something they can keep on a shelf or place on their bed. Tiny versions of toys they used to have growing up are also a great option. Toys like the World’s Smallest™ Magic 8 Ball ® will give them the nostalgia of an old toy but in a cooler form. 

Candy is the easiest part of a teen’s Easter basket. Simply find your teen’s favorite candy or chocolate to fill the basket. You can also get creative and surprise your teen with something different. A milk chocolate dinosaur egg will appear to be a traditional chocolate Easter egg, but when you’re teen looks inside they’ll be amused to find three miniature chocolate dinosaurs. It’s exactly the kind of twist a teen Easter basket needs. 

Adults

Don’t leave the adults out of all the Easter time fun. Easter basket ideas for adults might look a little different than those for kids and teens. 

Instead of toys, look for trinkets and decorations you can put in an adult’s Easter basket. Spring themed figurines are something fun you can include. They will look great on a friend’s or family member’s knickknack shelf. Another unique idea for adults is an Easter-themed picture frame. If they have kids, this is a wonderful way for them to remember those special Easters by. For more religious adults, you can include a beautiful Easter suncatcher with a Christian poem on it. 

Adults are just as into sweet treats as the kids, so don’t leave the candy out of their baskets. You might want to choose something other than candy necklaces and bubble gum, though. Some good candy ideas of adults are dark chocolate marshmallow eggs and coconut bonbons. 

Holiday Supplies for Easter and Beyond

Miles Kimball has you covered when it comes to supplies for holidays and special occasions. From Christmas to Mother’s Day, we’ve got what you need to celebrate. 

Comfy Loungewear and Sleepwear for Lazy Days

When you’re planning to spend the day at home, you go about picking your outfit a little differently. Comfort takes on a bigger priority, but looking good is still nice, too — even if your roommate is the only one who will see you. Comfortable loungewear and sleepwear are something every adult should have in their chest, dresser or closet. It’s the perfect attire to study for midterms in your dorm room, play videogames on the couch or unwind after a tough day at the office.

Better yet, adult loungewear has become outdoor clothing, too. The right lazy day clothes are now an acceptable choice for walking the dog, running a few errands or even going to casual nightclubs. That means setting aside the stained T-shirts, ripped pants and runny leggings for something more fashionable. Miles Kimball is here with recommendations of the best loungewear for men and women so you can treat yourself well even when you’re relaxing. Buy lounge clothing from our online store to get unique apparel at affordable prices!

Lounge Robes

Sometimes you just want to wake up, throw something on, and call it a day clothing-wise. A comfortable lounge robe is the solution for times when you want to dress simple but feel luxurious. They’re commonly known as bathrobes because many adults wear them between getting out of the shower and putting on their regular clothes. Lounger robes are also a good way to cover up and dry off at the beach. And now stylish apparel such as snap-front fleece robes and embroidered robes are accepted morning and nighttime wear around the house, too.

When you’re not planning to leave the house (except to go to the beach), loungewear robes allow you to get dressed in seconds. You can get short robes or long robes in classic, kimono, gown and hooded styles. Materials include terry cloth, cotton waffle, microfiber and plush micro-fleece for the ultimate stay-at-home comfort. Personalize your robe and make it a go-to on truly casual days.

Lounge Pants

When the goal is to be comfy, the last thing you need is tight denim jeans or khakis squeezing your legs like a tourniquet. The most comfortable lounge pants are made of softer materials that are looser and have some stretch. They should also be warm for those cold autumn and winter mornings.

The most common choices for lounge bottoms are sweatpants, track pants and joggers. This athletic attire is also incredibly comfortable casual-wear for all ages and genders. The differences are as follows:

  • Sweatpants are made of a heavy material that’s nice and warm with a baggy, loose fit.
  • Track pants are made of a lightweight nylon material that is more form-fitting and provides more ease of movement.
  • Joggers are “dressed-up” sweatpants with a better fit and large elastic cuffs at the ankles.

Any of these pants will be great loungewear options. Leggings and yoga pants are also a strong loungewear choice for women. These provide a form-fitting look with spandex and other stretchy materials so you can still move freely.

One-Piece Loungers & Caftans

Now we’re getting into the ultimate combination of simplicity, comfort and style. Loungers and caftan dresses are one-piece woman’s outfits with versatility for various occasions. Both are everyday variations on the robe or tunic that have been worn for thousands of years around the world, making them timeless loungewear.

Generally speaking, a woman’s lounger is longer and has a more form-fitting dress-like shape. Caftans are often shorter and have a looser, less defined fit. Both are available in a variety of styles for various levels of casual. For example, a floral front zip lounger or blue scroll caftan is fine outdoor summer-wear, while a flannel lounger is a cozy stay-at-home winter outfit. Ladies will certainly find something they’re comfortable in and is easy to slip into on a Saturday morning!

Sleepwear

You don’t just need lazy day clothes for when you’re awake — comfortable sleepwear is important, too. You spend a third of your life sleeping, so why not be cozy while you’re at it? Generally speaking, you’ll want something lightweight and loose-fitting while you snuggle under the covers. For both men and women, knit pajama shirts and pants (or shorts) offer affordable comfort. When temperatures cool down, microfleece pants and flannel pants should be your go-to. Get bottoms with an elastic or drawstring waist to avoid squeezing your hips.

If ladies prefer a one-piece outfit, a rib terry gown or silky chemise robe adds some sophistication to your nightwear. People with long hair — even the guys — should also consider a sleep cap. They’ll keep your locks contained as you slumber so you don’t wake up to tangles, frizz and hours of hair clean-up.

Comfortable Shirts

You don’t need to think too hard about what top to wear on a lazy Sunday. For a good loungewear shirt, nothing beats the classic T-shirt. Throw on a cotton T-shirt or an athletic polyester T-shirt and you’ll be good for the day. We recommend ordering one size up from your normal shirts for a fit that’s loose but not frumpy. Graphic tees are fun to keep in the drawer and will be a true friend. Need to step outside to get the mail or pick up milk? Make sure you have a few cozy sweatshirts, sweaters or hoodies on-hand if it’s cool or rainy.

Personalized Christmas Ornaments | 9 Favorite Themes

Life consists of moments, each one different than the one before it. But some moments — or combined moments — stand out as exceptional. Maybe it was the moment you met the person you married, or the moment you saw your infant child for the first time. Or perhaps it was the day you graduated college, or the Christmas you shared with a special friend who has since passed away. However many extraordinary moments we have had before they were replaced by the next, we can recall them and celebrate them through something symbolic, something as simple as a personalized ornament unique to us.In honor of all your moments, we at Miles Kimball are proud to offer what is arguably the largest variety of personalized ornaments anywhere, providing a forever remembrance of cherished people, events and milestones:
