23 Adult Easter Basket Ideas That Are To Dye For
For your some-bunny special.
Between mapping the blueprint of my family’s Easter egg hunt, dyeing eggs, and hosting Easter Sunday brunch, being the Easter Bunny is a full-time job. There’s also the added pressure to curate an Easter basket that strikes the perfect balance of things your kid will actually use and candies that will definitely rot their teeth.
But you know what? Even Peter Cottontail deserves a little something extra on Easter. Whether you’re running low on self-care essentials or looking to get into a new hobby this spring, like journaling or, yes, even pickleball, there’s something for every adult on this list — with an honorable mention to moms, of course, whose hard work often goes unnoticed during the holidays, even on Easter. Those deviled eggs aren’t going to boil themselves!
It’d be fair to say Easter basket fillers can get a little out of control, but your run-of-the-mill chocolate bunnies and drugstore candy won’t do either. We gathered the best basket stuffers money can buy from $10 finds, such as skin care tools and candles, to big-ticket items for those with a flexible budget.
Moms are the Easter Bunny for everyone else — now sit back and forward this gift guide to dads, partners, or whoever needs the hint that you deserve a little Easter treat, too.

3. Non-Slip Hair Claw Clips
