Each year more and more families are beginning to stray away from normal traditions during the Easter Holidays - outdoor egg hunts and Sunday family dinners - taking a more modern approach to festivities. Celebrating Easter is a great way to bring together family and friends that you would not normally get to see regularly and spend extra quality time with those you see every day, however, planning a special day can be stressful.

A wonderful way to modernize and include everyone in the celebration is with Easter Gift Baskets. Festivities like a traditional egg hunt or gifting candy and chocolate is a great way to have fun and spend time together although this has become more challenging with the present situations. Parents have become increasingly busy leaving less time to set up fun and engaging activities for their kids. Gift baskets can provide a great solution. They are still a fun gift for kids to open and receive fun candies while also saving the adults a lot of time and stress.

Gift baskets remove the stress of trying to run around the night before or even the morning of trying to hide eggs and set up activities for your kids without them finding out. They are already pre-assembled and can be picked up in-store or delivered right to your door, removing any stress or worry leaving you more time to spend together. So, this year give the gift of an Easter Gift basket instead.

Accommodating The Modern Family

Easter has always been about taking the time to slow down and relax and spend some extra needed time with your family. With the new modern approach to a work-life balance more families are unable to take that extra time in advance to set up for a weekend of activities or wish not to waste the precious time they have running around. Gift baskets allow you to have the best of both worlds, you can relax and spend time with your family while also having something fun to do and incorporate into your busy schedules the same fun traditions.

Gift baskets contain everything a child could want for Easter, candy, and chocolate. Now that parents are busier than ever, going out to get things like candy and other treats is becoming increasingly difficult. With gift baskets you can order a pre-made basket of everything you need or create a custom basket built from scratch with everything you want. You are even able to order it all online, over the phone, through email, or even in person with one of our amazing basket designers. You are also able to pick up the gift baskets at the best time for you within store hours or have them delivered straight to your door if you are unable to pick it up. You can create an unforgettable experience for your kids that works for your schedule, so you are not spending extra time going out of your way. This makes it super easy and fast for busy families to still create a fun and magical experience for their children; they get to wake up and open a basket full of fun and varied treats.

A New Take on Tradition

Every year Easter is celebrated by thousands of families following the same traditions of egg hunts, egg painting, and Sunday dinners. As the years have progressed and with the present situation, more families are beginning to stray away from these typical traditions and towards a more modern, time-friendly approach to their Easter festivities. Gift baskets provide a great way to move into this new era, they are fast and simple and still provide families with fun and tasty treats.

As time has progressed, families have been given less and less time to set up engaging activities like egg hunts. With the present situation families are unwilling to participate in community festivities and activities. Gift baskets allow families to still have fun at home without any extra stress or worry. Because of their versatility, you can give each child their own basket filled with treats you know they will love or get them one large one to share and pick out what they want. You could even order one in advance and hide the treats around your yard or house and still have them hunt for the treats like a traditional egg hunt. Gift baskets give you the ability to still have all the fun you want without stressing over trying to do shopping in advance or trying to set up all these activities without your kids knowing. You can relax and enjoy your time together and still get to have tasty treats and fun digging through the baskets to see what is inside.

Everyone Is Included

Getting together with family and friends has always been a highlight of any Holiday, however, most of the activities and fun things to do are geared towards young children leaving out the older kids and adults. Rarely are adolescent or special needs children involved, they are typically ignored or pushed aside for the sake of the younger children’s happiness and are forced to partake in activities specifically catering to younger children. During a time that is meant to be spent with family, a large part of the family itself is forgotten or left out. Gift baskets are an extraordinary solution to be inclusive for everyone, they can be given to anyone and changed to fit whatever any one individual would like.

With gift baskets you are easily able to include any older children without making them do the same egg hunt or egg painting as their younger siblings or cousins. They still get to open a gift of fun treats, participate in the activities of the day, and spend time with family without feeling forgotten or ignored. With the ease of gift baskets, you are still able to set up all the fun for the younger kids and simply order a basket in advance for the older ones without feeling as though you need to spend any extra time or go out of your way to do any extra work. You can get them a basket filled with everything they love or with some new treats you know they will love to try. Gift baskets allow you to get something different for anyone so you can tailor them to the person, buying one a savory basket because they do not like candy or a mix of both chocolate and savories to accompany the sweet treat.

There is also no need to leave out the adults from all the fun either. Often during the Holidays, the children are put first, and the adults forgotten about. As most Holidays are geared towards children's activities and gifts, most adults are left behind to set everything up and celebrate their kids or grandkids. However, this is no longer the case thanks to gift baskets. Because of the wide variety of possible items to fill the baskets, there is no limit to what they can contain or to whom you can gift them to. You can buy one for the whole family to enjoy together or one just for you and your significant other to enjoy. Gift baskets can be filled with almost anything meaning you can get one filled with exotic chocolates for yourself or get one filled with hard-to-find cheeses and Italian sodas, you can get anything you would like. Gift baskets allow you to get something for anyone and everyone, so no one feels left out or neglected. 

Introducing New Flavours

When it comes to most kids, they tend to stick to what they like and know, never trying anything new especially when it comes to candy or treats. Trying to introduce your kids to new flavours or cultures can be hard when they can be so picky about what they like to eat. Gift baskets can be an easy way to begin introducing your kids to new tastes and flavours.

Gift baskets, when given for a special occasion presents a fun and exciting activity for kids. They can open up a big basket and dig through it to find all the varied goodies inside. Giving your kids different flavoured chocolates or candy from different cultures through a gift basket on Easter is a great way to get them to try new flavours. They will see the brightly wrapped basket and immediately be intrigued and want to open it. Having the basket filled with fun new treats will make them want it even more. Most kids do not care what kind of candy they get if they get to eat it, so giving them some unique flavours like coconut, black current, rose, chili, ginger, or even earl gray is a great way to get them to experience new and fun flavours. Gift baskets are an easy way to begin introducing your young ones to new and exciting flavours from different places without running the risk of pushing them too far all at once. They present a safe and fun option that kids will love unwrapping and trying everything inside without question.
