What other non-basket Easter basket ideas can you come up with?
Great ideas!
One year we used laundry baskets that matched the decor of the kids’ rooms. Another year we used decorative garbage cans.
Great ideas, I hate spending all that money on baskets just to discard them.
I made a “basket” for my mom out of the plastic drink dispenser that you put lemonade or tea in… then added Crystal Lite packs and other goodies
These are great ideas! I especially love the wagon idea. How clever!
