Easter baskets are a thoughtful and fun way to celebrate with friends and loved ones at any age. Although candy is always a welcome surprise, there are many creative ways to fill up an adult Easter basket.
Choose a few lottery tickets to add a bit of luck to the basket. Scratch-offs come in an array of themes and can be anywhere from $1–20 a ticket. For a snack, pack a transparent pastry bag, or freezer bag, with Cheetos and tie closed with a green ribbon to resemble a carrot.
Add some adult beverages to the basket such as a small bottle of rosé, individual Champagne split or travel-sized liquor bottles. Chandon Champagne and rosé splits range from $5–8 per bottle and are ideal for a boozy Easter brunch.
Include a few spa essentials from bath salts, bombs and scrubs to lotion, soap and candles. Made with all-natural ingredients, the intergalactic bath bomb from Lush is $7.75, and transforms bathwater into a deep purple galaxy.
Gift cards for everyday use, like iTunes, Starbucks and convenience stores, offer a practical way to fill up the basket. For aspiring bakers and chefs, use a colander or mixing bowl as the “basket” and add a few personal touches with photos and cards.
