Easter Basket goodies don’t need to be expensive. I love finding fun things and yummy treats to put in my children’s baskets every year, but it can really start to add up! I am also impressed every time I go to Dollar Tree and see what they have to offer. You can find basket goodies for just about anyone on your list. I thought it would be fun to put together some ideas for different types of baskets you might be putting together. Whether it is for your own kids, your spouse, a friend or a neighbor- there are endless possibilities.

So, what should you even put in an Easter basket? There is always a lot of talk on what you should do, and really, it’s up to you to decide how much or little you want to do for your family members.

How to Assemble an Easter Basket
Step 1: Find a Cute Basket
You might be thinking this is obvious, but we need to start somewhere. The size and shape of the basket will affect what and how many items will fit so it’s a good place to start.
Step 2: Find Items for Your Basket
There is a great variety of times at the Dollar Tree. I have listed some items organized above to get some ideas when shopping.
Step 3: Arrange Items in Basket
Stuff the bottom of the basket with some tissue paper or fake grass. Next, start by placing the taller items in the back and work your way towards the front.
I will always love shopping at Dollar Tree. You can shop there for all the people on your list and save money. Make sure you go into your local store to see what they have. There are always items that I find that I never would have thought of. Have fun this Easter!
