Creating an Easter Basket for Adults

Easter Baskets Aren't Just for Kids

Amy Brantley
Who said that Easter baskets were just for kids? Here are ten great gifts that would make the perfect Easter basket for adults.

Expensive Gift

When it comes to buying an expensive gift for an Easter basket for adults, choose something like an MP3 player, a new cell phone, or even a DVD box set. Choose something fun.

Solid Chocolate Bunny

All Easter baskets should include a chocolate bunny, but an adult basket should include a chocolate bunny that has a more adult taste. I highly suggest buying a chocolate bunny from Godiva.

Peeps

Peeps are such a great Easter treat and they are something that most adults remember from their childhood. Peeps make such a great gift because they remind people of their youth.

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans

Jelly beans are a must when it comes to Easter baskets. But, again, adults want treats that have a more adult taste, that's why Jelly Belly's make a great addition to their Easter basket. There are so many flavors to choose from. You could either include an assortment or buy one flavor that you know they will love.

Personalized M&M's

This is such a great gift and it makes a wonderful addition to an adult Easter basket. You get to choose two colors and a message for each color. This is a wonderful choice if you plan on doing several Easter baskets because you have to buy at least 4 bags.

A New Bible

Easter is more than cute bunnies and dyed eggs. Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A perfect addition to an adult Easter basket is a new Bible. You could either include a full-sized Bible or a pocket-sized Bible. You could even include an electronic Bible.

Jewelry

A cross necklace or ring would make a wonderful addition to an adult Easter basket. This is just another way to help people remember the true meaning of the holiday.

Cross Key Chain

Just like gifts 6 and 7, this gift reminds people that Easter is more than just a time to eat jelly beans and chocolate. A cross key chain is also a gift that will help people remember what's really important all year round.

Gift Certificate

A gift certificate to a nice restaurant is a great gift for an adult Easter basket. Some people may not have the time to fix a dinner on Easter. This way they can still enjoy a wonderful Easter dinner, but without all the work.

Special Note

The most important part is to include a message that tells that person how special they are and that you hope that they have a wonderful holiday.

    I used to get the belly flops when I lived and traveled by the JB Factory. What a bargain! And who wouldn't love big globs of stuck together Jelly Bellies? YUM! By the way, on the tour they tell you that the buttered popcorn is their most popular flavor. I enjoy it, but find that hard to believe. I had a carrot cake jelly belly at the factory's tasting area that was divine! I don't know if they ever released it for the mass market. Anyway, great suggestions Amy. Thanks for remembering the reason Easter is celebrated in your list!

    The Jelly Belly idea is terrific - I have the luxury of including "Belly Flops" since the Jelly Belly Factory is just down the road a bit! They conduct an awesome tour - but I go for the Belly Flops. I really should create an Easter Basket this year for Bruce - most likely it would be the first Easter basket this Jewish boy every got! Thanks for the reminder Amy - and you've allowed plenty of time for me to get my act together!

    Yes, one must give adults Jelly Belly's, the high quality jelly beans! I never have learned to like the buttered popcorn ones, though.
