With Easter in a little over a week, I thought I would share my current thoughts for Calvin's first Easter basket. Like a lot of you, I'm buying all of these things online, so hopefully I've given enough time so that y'all can shop for most of this, too.
Personalized Easter basket - I found a lot of "First Easter" baskets, but I decided to get one that he could use year after year. Obviously, Etsy delivered! It looks like that one I ordered isn't available for Easter delivery, but this one from the same shop is!
Candy - When I went to the grocery store a couple of weeks ago, I stocked up on some Reese's, Cadbury mini eggs, and Junior mints eggs (our favorites) to fill eggs with. (I've hidden them so I can't eat them before Easter haha). I imagine Calvin will love shaking the eggs with the candy inside.
Teething egg - I've been getting targeted advertising for these on social media forever, and since Calvin is currently cutting 3 teeth, I thought this would be perfect. I also got him the Molar magician from the same company. They're having a buy-2-get-1-free sale right now, so I bought an extra egg to save as a gift down the road.
Carrot teether - Like I said, little boy is teething, so why not give him a few options. Plus, this is so festive!
Wooden puzzle - Calvin is obsessed with Melissa & Doug wooden toys.
Egg matching - Another festive toy that will be great for him as he gets up. I also like this one with the little faces.
Pajamas or personalized shirt - My mom ordered this one from Etsy. She gets one for him for every holiday, and I love the little dino.
Books - Every holiday, we give Calvin a book and write a little note in it to him. I have so many of these from family members as I was growing up, and I cherish them so much. I've been asking friends on Instagram for book ideas, and they did not disappoint for Easter/Spring. Here is the full list from my post.
Egg fillers - foam finger puppets, plush finger puppets, Snoopy stickers, chocolate bunny rubber ducks, spring flower rubber ducks, mini Easter rubber ducks (theses fit really well in the jumbo size eggs)
FYI - I know I've done a lot of sponsored posts in the past, but my posts right now are in no way sponsored or contain affiliate links, I just hope these can be a resource for other parents.

I actually stressed over what kind of Easter basket to get last year! I ended up just stumbling upon a great (cheap) one at Homegoods and I ordered a personalized tag on Etsy.
Puzzles are a huge win. We love them.
