Today I am linking up with the beautiful, amazing, awesome Sarah from “Our Journey”. She is hosting a blog hop that showcases the goodies you are putting in your special people and pet’s Easter Baskets.
I thought I’d show you what I got for our niece’s this year. I don’t always get them Easter Baskets because Andy’s family does a HUGE egg hunt for the 4 (now 5) grandkids. I’m talking a few hundred eggs for 4 kids. Ridiculous! Since they go that route I don’t usually spend extra money on basket stuffers, but this year I decided the nieces might just feel too old to hunt Easter Eggs. Addison is turning 14 next month (waaaa!) and Chloe will be 11 in June. I had fun picking out ‘girly’ stuff for them. And it turned out we didn’t do the egg hunt this year because it was a rainy day Sunday, so my planning ahead worked out for the best!
1. Found this cute basket at Dollar General for $3. I thought my nieces could reuse it to put in their jewelry, nail polishes, make up – whatever!
2. Candy – because what Easter Basket is complete without candy in it?
3. A $2 picture frame – I loved setting out pictures of me and my friends when I was a teenager.
4. Makeup – hello, TEENAGERS! I found fun eye shadow, lip gloss, nail polish and nail tattoos.
Both nieces loved their baskets, they were a big hit!
As for what the boys are getting in their baskets – you’ll have to come back next week to find out!
