Easter Baskets for Girls and Boys


Easter is one of my favorite holidays of the year. The song "Here comes Peter Cotton Tail..Hopping down the bunny trail..hippity hop..Easters on its way" plays in my head at this time of year along with visions of Easter Baskets filled with chocolate bunnies, jellybeans and toys. I remember as a child, this was one of my Mom's favorite holidays also. This week I looked through the black and white photos that were taken with a Brownie camera..My sister and I decked out in new dresses and hats, white anklets and patent leather shoes ,white gloves and of course, new shiny purses. Our hair full of curls from those pink Styrofoam curlers that we slept on all night long. Mom would spray a little Aqua-Net on our hair to keep all those locks in place.

Depending on the weather at that time of year we would search for our Easter Baskets either inside the house or outside. Then after breakfast it was off to Sunday school. After church it was back home and finally a chance to go through that Easter Basket thoroughly!

I passed down these same traditions to my children and I hope they keep Easter Sunday fun and adventurous for their children as well.

Visit us at Planet One Gifts to see all of our Easter Gifts and send a Fair Trade Easter Basket to that special boy or girl. It is never too early to begin to teach your children about the world of Fair Trade and about living an Eco-friendly lifestyle. Our Easter basket is handwoven by artisans in Bangladesh and filled with biodegradable Easter grass. Four baskets to choose from based on age and gender.

We will add a personalized gift card message at no charge.
