Easter is approaching and we all know what that means: sugar highs, rationing candy, and inevitably, tantrums. As I began thinking about Easter baskets this year, I realized it doesn’t HAVE to include candy. I mean, I know my daughter will be spoilt by her grandparents, but there is no reason to add even more sweets into the mix at home. And thus came about my, research (read: Pinterest) into themed Easter baskets. Oh my goodness, the creativity is endless. Here are some good ones I’ve rustled up to share with you all.

2. Toddler Easter Basket
This isn’t a theme so much as it is age specific. But it still works! Toddlers don’t quite understand the significance of Easter yet, and most of us don’t want our toddlers hyped up on candy for days to come. This basket idea is a great way to make their basket special, but just without the sugar rush. You can customize the toys and treats to all their favorite things.
